I love those Ordens

Then again when I think about it - I personally would pay a few hundred more and get some HRE's

I would think the HREs would be lighter, but who cares when it comes to our tanks?

Hi Berti.

I had a set of some other type 18" ASA wheels on my previous '91 300TDT Sportline. (bad quality on the enclosed photo, sorry)

Nice wheels and good finish, but very heavy, Oohh! But the style looks good on the MB's I think.

They're pretty much identical to yours other than the bolt pattern. Some replicas have different shapes than others. I think ASA's are the closest

Albert, that's another option if you want big lips without fender modifications. Look at how the face of OCKlasse's rims is designed. Where the centers meet the outer rims, they bend in creating more lip.

What do you mean by that? Like if the wheel didnt arch out and back in? Or if the lug pattern was flat with where the lip ends?

Yeah like people said,if you want that you need fender mods. What rims do you keep talking about with all this lip that you "know will fit"? Just curious.
