Need help with a new set of LM5 Rims?

I currently lease a white 02 CLK 430. I am 90% sure I am going to buy it and I want to put a set of polished 2 pc. Lorinser LM5 18 inch wheels on it?

Can someone please recommend the best place to order the rims and the tires from. I live in Central Jersey. Also, I want to get the same size rims and tires for all four instead of wider in the back. Is this possible, will it make the car look bad?

Are there any other rims that look similar to the LM5. I am not concerned with a label or a name, I just really like the look. If there is a better bang for my buck can someone please throw out some suggestions.

Has anyone ever ordered the replica rims and tires from ebay? Are they garbage?

Thanks.

Christopher

I can get you replica LM5s in 19x8.5 for $1,100+s/h. They look pretty good and almost like the real ones. E-mail me if you're interested. LowRydeR@***.net

if you want real LM5s, give a board sponsor (like us) a try

Try Wheel Experts, since they are sponsers. If they far from your house, I believe the mega-corporate chain "Discount Tires" is an official Lorinser wheel supplier. There is one on every corner so it shouldnt be hard to find. Dont ruin your Benz by mounting replica wheels on.

www.discounttire.com

That price is just for the wheels, brand new.

If you don't mind replicas, take a look at on Ebay. I think it's "Highlinewheels" that sells 18" LM5 replicas that I've heard good things about from someone on the boards.
