Carlsson 1/16 in silver with Carlsson center caps. The MB caps make the wheels look like knockoffs. Silver car right?

Wow, the Carlsson 1/16 is the popular choice so far and yes, they will be OEM Carlsson. My last W210 was all Carlsson'd out including full OEM bodykit and 19" 1/6 Evos.

Yes I have tint so that is why I was considering black along with chewing on the possible idea of painting the roof black like Alexbenz did for that "pano roof" look.

Well, I'm in a pickle because I like them all. I'm kinda leaning towards either the 1/16 or the Supermesh myself.

Thanks for all of the comments everyone!

C'mon Jimmy, those aren't even Carlsson 1/16's they'd be 2/16's if they were in fact Carlssons...but then...they're not haha.

Actually, I second Alex, I prefer the look of the Axis or Maya (not sure about their quality or weight tho)...reminds me very much of Jame5 car and the sportier designs brings out the beast in the 55...the Carlsson knockoffs are too timid IMO.

Whatever 1/16, 2/16, you know what I'm saying , lol. I just found this pic. and posted it on here. Besides, I kinda liked the way the black ones look. Look at your Benzo, the wheels look phat! We'll see, I might just have to take a nice pic of the beast and have you work your photoshop magic!

Heck yeah, thanks hubert! The first guy I'm a little leary about because he only accept a bank wire transfer and doesn't list where he is. I will contact him anyway and see what's up.

The second guy is actually in Jersey as per his listing and accepts, cashiers check and money order. I just asked him if he'll take cash and I'll have one of my employees in Perth Amboy, NJ go and pick them up for me and ship them out here.

Let's see what happens...

hubert, the wheels in the second link you posted are off of a 2004 Clk500 W209 body. Anyone with knowledge on this, I don't think these will fit a W210 will they? Here are the specs. in the listing:

Carlsson 1/16 BE
2 wheels: 8,5JX19
2 wheels: 10JX19
Bolt pattern 5-112

The offsets do seem a bit high (could of course use spacers if needed) for rims of that width. The bolt pattern & lug reqs are the same for W209 as W210.

Both of the wheels have the same specs, all i know is that you will need to use the new bolts for those wheels. If they are W209 that means they wse same bolts as W203 and these use same bolts as W210 not sure but this is what i think.

W209 bolts are the same thread as W210. As u know already Jimmy, offsets on Carlssons are determined by the OEM Carlsson spacers and not pre-set. Hit me up and I can tell u exactly which parts to get bro
