I think those Carlsson 2/5 are so much better than the AMG. Post pix when you get them, they're one of my favorites.-Bruce

will definitely post pictures. crossed drilled rotors and painting my calipers is happening ASAP also. cant afford a big brake kit yet DAMMIT. I know the cross-drilled rotors dont do much, but i need new rotors soon anyway, they are more for looks right now until i can get some Brembos.

off the top of my head, its $449 for the fronts @ 19x8, and $499 for the rears @ 19x9.... that is a bargain... under $2,000 for a complete set of Carlsson 2/5 in 19s... i think the 2/6s are going for the same price
They have them in stock, so i'd hit em up while you still can...

just juggling to see if i should wait and hope that tirerack decides to import the 1/16 wheels... they look similar to the HRE 549s but but not as much $$$

i just don't want to wait and find out in the end that they have no intention of imoprting the 1/16s..... and by that time, all the 2/5s will be gone.... sigh...

Should get sloted rotors instead of cross drilled.... will not crack as easy as the cross drilled rotors.
I would never get 19" on my car, for 1 major reason...
slows down your take off time, your 0-60 will be slower. I am not willing to sacrifice 0-60 time for a higher top speed.
I don't need to go faster than 130mph.... I need the o-60 times to be faster, that's where it counts more anyways, IMHO.
Oh and another reason is the price of the tires... have you guys checked how much 19" high performance tires cost?!?!?
But I have to admit, it does look good.... Maybe if I got the new E class....
