What part are you talking about? The wheels?

They're two different Mercedes tuners, if you're fimiliar with BMWs, it's like Hamann and ACS.

Yes, I meant the wheels. The carlsson 2/5 looks like the kleemanns to me? What is the difference? Is one better than the other? Thanks.

They have similar looks but are both different wheels. Aside from aesthetics, there's really no advantage going with one over the other. It all matters on which one you like better and what kind of price you can get.

my first impression would be to assume that the kleemann wheels are lighter than the carlsson wheels... but that is just assumption...

in any case, the carlsson 2/5s are more straight, and the kleeman spokes have some curvature to it
