Custom rims <Work rims>

:p I know BBS/RGR looks plain, very plain for CLS.
Local shop updates me a Japanese rim maker => "Work"
All rims are made to fit customer's desire spec, there's no more spacers needed to push rims out.

They're made by light Al-Mg alloy, 2 pcs or 3 pcs
The spec I ordered,2 pcs, WMB ....
Looks like chrome shining in the sun, black in the dark.
F : 8.5Jx 18, offset 15mm, lip 80mm
R: 9.5Jx 18, offset 15mm, lip 95mm
bolt on directly w/o any adaption or spacers.

Lead time of delievery : 6~8 weeks, plan receive mine in
Oct/M.

Those Jap's custom rim makers provide compatible quality than German or American rim factories and cost only 1/3 the price

Can you share with us the style/picture and actual price? Why not 19" or 20"?

Thanks guys for your compliment.
First time knowing this maker, Work, and bought them.
I knew only German rims AMG, Brabus,Carlsson....before.

Custom made, fit w/o any effort to clear anything nor spacers for aggressive look.
It took 6 weeks to deliever though and worth it IMO.

Yes,too expensive to have a W219 here in Taiwan.

Work rims are really tight.
The biggest upcomer I see are Zone rims for Mercedes applications.

Beautiful car..but man, please lose the chrome tail-lights. That is a cheap and cheesy mod on an expensive and classy car.
