New Shoe ideas for Enzo

Instead of hijacking Alexbenz's wheel thread after Ed suggested a wheel brand, I was playing with the idea of new wheels. I don't like mesh on the W124, it needs more significant spokes. I LOVE my Carlssons but perhaps a change...

Venetians by Vertini wheels:

18x8 ET 35 (same sizing I have now, biggest I can go.

Front


Rear


A quick chop:

Silver


Body Color



Or just keep the Carlsson's as is?



Thoughts?

Carlssons are way nicer dude, to be honest I don't really like those a whole lot, could just be the chop but they don't look right.

Or you could buy them, and sell me your Carlssons and I'll change my name to ZorroAMG2

I was playing dude, I love the rims they suite your car, I wouldn't put that type of wheel on my ride. Too classy for me.

If I had the money for new rims I would go for 360forged rims or some HRE. How much are those vertini wheels?
Something like these would look better imo.

I think it is the windmill like positioning of the spokes that bugs me about those vertinis.

Stick with the current shoes ftw. Maybe the chop doesnt look right, or they look too small in it?

But I'd stick with the carlsson's

i don't like those. if the spokes angled the same way on both sides of the car i would dislike them a little less, but i would still dislike them (you know, when the passenger side spokes point forward and the driver's side point backwards... hate that!)

either way, the first thing that popped into my head when i saw them was this:

Keep the current wheels
Improve the look by using the Same Wheels as Zedstyle

does wheels don't look remotely good on your very nice Benz.....just my $0.02
but I still run AMGs on all my cars only thing I would change them to AMGs or Zed's wheels or back to stock nothing else seems good enough
