I said 18's not 20's, they cost arount $350-$400 per wheel. I want to do it for an appearance style, I mean the rims that you speak and desire of doesn't increase performance of any so why spend so much money on a rim that is just as good as any other. I don't see the big deal of trying to have your rims in looks of a Movado watch. Yeah spinners are cool on suvs cause SUVs are also the fad (oversized stationwagons)

bahahahahhahaha

i just got back from the keys and that rules. reminds me of the fresh prince from bel aire song....he had fuzzy dice on the mirror....

AMG_Eric

at 350-400 you can go bbs. i think the main reason for spending big cash on rims would be safety. f the concept of spending big coin for looks. the amg wheels can take a hellova beating as my rims proved and they are kinda pricey.

Here are pics of my old 94 E320. Got the wheels from bekkers.com 18x8 all around. 225/40/18 all around, and yes, rolled fenders. BEfore I had the fenders rolled it was rubbing like a mother!!!

Painted my calipers red. Shows though enough. (I polished the lip myself btw on the wheels. Stripped the clearcoat and made it bling)

Yo Godfather...very clean and tasteful ride you had there!

The Godfather

Thanks. That was back in the days more pics at www.thegodfatherinc.com/w124

I need to know after rolling fenders how deep of a drop can I go with 18's? I am considering the intrax spring system, as I assume it has the lower drop and least expensive

CDP

I believe Vogtland's have the lowest drop and the best price right now.

Makahveli

what do you suggest Cali? What is still ok to consider beyond the standard H&R sring drop i read so much about?

Eric, those are the SL 2 pc wheels.

i know somebody selling a set for $2200 w/ tires.

AMG_Eric

i know remember u told me. those fit a 500e not a 300. they are 10inches wide and way over my budget.

AMG_Eric

ok i saw these on saturday on a few cars. if they were in black chrome they might just rule.

however i need the darn website to get a quote. it was tws -- the wheel shop or something or other. cant seem to find it on the web.

CDP

Eric,

TWS website is www.thewheelsupply.com

but it seems to be down right now. I'll try to find the number in here or you can since I've posted it a few times in some topics.

AMG_Eric

Check your pms chris.

AMG_Eric

will these fit my car? i think the back tires may need to be replaced.

btw they are 5x112 bolt pattern

Eric, those wheels will look HOT on your car. Get them if you can.

AMG_Eric

my new wheelz look *****en. i wish i could post pics but i cant figure out how to move pics from my treo 650 to its 1gb sd ram card.

anyhow i had to grind down 10 lugs today. they were 7mm too long. i called brabus in newport and they had a full set but were $60 and in newport. i was in placentia at jonny lightning. that is why i choose to grind them. i might order the lugs and then anodize them black to match the new wheelz.

CDP

what happened to your digital camera Eric? Can't wait to see how those wheels look on your car. Time to change up your signature picture again.

AMG_Eric

ok i was too lazy to run upstairs and get my camera so i used another one we had. its not great but it can atleast allow me to upload a pic from it.

neanderthal

you car has taken on a very red darth vader-ish look about it.

i dont really like open wheels so much on 124s, but those seem to work
