help ID a wheel!

Can someone help me ID these wheels? They look like Carlsson but I haven't seen this design. If you can ID them where can I purchase them.
Thanks

Sorry cant help you there since I'm not in the US but don't expect anything too cheap given:

1) They're forged (there is a similar one in cast but heavier and the finish isn't as nice)

2) They're Wald and Japanese, so imported.

it may also be the discontinued Club Linea Misterio at www.discounttiredirect.com . They only show a 19x9.5 et35 for Mercedes for $126 chrome and $93 Silver.

Your right!! Thanks for looking out. Looks like a great wheel. 93 dollars
a wheel makes you think its going to bend on the first pothole it hits.
What do you guys think?

Kev might be right, the one you showed doesnt have the lip of the Wald

92 bucks a wheel, hmmmmmm

OZ also makes a similar styled wheel called Opera, probably more reliable. Tirerack may have them.

they are $93 bucks because they are closeout and discontinued. That rim is old and once sold for $300 plus.

The wheel you posted is a Wald Duchatlet II also known as Wald D21C or possibly some other wheel company's knockoff of the Wald design. I've been looking for those wheels for quite a while. The closest I could come was the new D31C's for about 3,500 plus shipping from Japan.

Whitey are you sure? The D21C doesn't have a very big lip. Check out Walds site www.wald.co.jp/catalog/wheel/

Sorry, I meant the ridge/shoulder inside the hole beside the lip where the valve tip sits, the D21C doesn't have one and the D21F has a smaller one than the one in the pic. Also the edges of the holes seem sharper on the Walds.

OK you are right. I didn't notice that til you mentioned it now. Of course when you said "lip" I was not thinking about that section of the wheels.
