Too stock looking...factory wheels ALWAYS have the uber-yuck factor to me.

Zed! You're gona like the wheels I may be getting then!!

I'm just wondering how far I can go with the rear... 8.5@35 or 30 offset? I'm thinking 35, and get spacers to try it myself What do you think? I have 8.5 30 now..

Zed, your current wheels look way better than those stock-looking ones.

Hehe! I'm either getting these in 18, machine polished, or AutoCoutures. Leaning towards these to be honest, but Autos are much lighter (so I've heard)

Aaaall these years later...
Carlsson 1/6 and 1/6 Evo STILL unparalleled. Got original 1/6 17 inch on my 2000 CLK 320 in my driveway right now in 2013. But those Rial's are still so sweet, and IMPOSSIBLE to find.

Word to Zed.

I always preferred the AMG Type VI on the w124 like on my convertible below:





On the other hand I also like the more timely look of the Borbet type A i run on my winter car (300E 24V):
