You're absolutely right Matt, one of the main reasons as to why I looked at them to begin with was the fact that my SLs have seen better days, so I figured 18s + fairly new tires + 200 bux = won't hurt to try.
But the more and more I see them the less and less I want them...

Better to keep the old rims you have than to buy someone else's old rims. No one sells decent rims for $50 each, tires or no tires. The fact that he's trying to pass them off as Carlsson's tells me that they're garbage. I don't mean that in a snobbish way, I just mean that even if you like the wheels, they may have damage/defects that you can't see, the finish may be trashed, etc. The pic is dark and taken from a strange angle for selling a wheel. Add to that the fact that he's lying about the brand and you can't trust him to be honest about anything else.

Hey Newbs.
Lying about the brand? They are Carlsson Wheels. How do I know? My friend had them on his 16V.
Don't be too skeptical about getting wheels for cheap. Most sellers don't even know the value of the wheels they are getting. Them those wheels Henry. Does it come with the Center cover?

i have seen those rims before
they are carlsson rims but i can't recall what type
the center cover would have carlsson logo on it
however i can't tell if it's genuine or fake by looking at a picture

do you know if there's a way to identify these rims without center caps? Would they have a carlsson mark anywhere else?
can anyone ask perz???
