Opinions on these wheels

Since I sold my Brabus wheels, I'm looking for a set of 19's. I tossed around the idea of the Maya STMs like Benzo has and the ASA ST4s in chrome.

I then came across a pic of the new OZ Superleggera III and the more I look at them the more I like! I think they look much better than the older darker colored version.

**Note the fat lip!

Haven't shipped to the States yet. Next several months or so.
Opinions?

I like the polished lip and the simple design.

No flames! I'm asking for opinions so I expect both good and bad. Just want honest ones.

Does anyone think these will compliment the CLK bodystyle?

For three piece forged wheels with a lip, they run in the $3K range.

$3100-$3400 is what I'm being told. Same price as the previous style Superleggera III, only difference being the color. I stated earlier its a forged wheel, actually only the center is forged.

Not these. These are the new edition of the forged Superleggera III only available in Europe from what I've been told.

I think those rims would look great on an already great looking car. I like the pages you did on the mods on the web page. Also some helpful info on the V60. I have the timeport and thinking about upgrading to the V60. Did it come with the phone itself or just the rest of the kit? If so, were you able to choose between CDMA and TDMA?

Thanks for compliments! I bought the V60 off of Ebay and the kit from a local MBZ dealer. The phone (has to be a MBZ V60) was the only factor in whether you can use CDMA or TDMA. The kit will work with either system.

Check this thread

for another system in development that allows you to use some other other non-MBZ phones with the factory installed system. Looks promising.
