Hey guys!

Im kinda bored of my 18´s AMG Monoblocks and i was thinking in buying a new set of rims. How about the Rotiforms BLQ´s in the following measure?

18 X 8.5 - 5X112- ET35 - SILVER

Its a YAY OR NAY?

.
My W210 with Monoblocks....

I found this pic of a Wagon but those are 3-piece Forged Concave 19 Inches.(1 extra inch and awesome concave look)

How about some Photoshop? Anyone?

Wow, never seen that brand of wheel before. The forged concave 3-pc wheels look incredible! Any idea on what they run?

You looking to go with the cast 1-pc model? Those look OK, but the forged 1-pc wheel has much sharper edges and less of a convex face from the pics. Those could possibly be the most difficult wheels to clean EVER!

18x8 will not look nearly as good as the wagon above, keep the AMG's unless you get some more proper sized BLQ's

Agreed 1000%

Rotiforms are awesome wheels & BLQ's are really really nice. But they gotta be big.

If a want a serious stance i was thinking in going 19`s because 18`s will not look that good!

The 3 piece forged cost around US$ 4100 and the Cast One piece around US$ 1200 so...what you all think?

3 piece forged on 19 A bit harsh driving i think. But would look awesome with some kind lowering

IMO: 3-pc forged BLQ > stock 18" AMG wheels > 1-pc cast BLQ

Personally, I always go with forged wheels if/when the factory alloys are upgraded. Additional unsprung weight is about the worst thing you can do for ride & handling of your car, and aftermarket cast wheels are usually weaker and/or heavier than factory alloys.

Cars/wheels in my family:

'09 GL320 Bluetec with 20" chrome Forge-tec wheels
'08 Dodge Ram 1500 with 20" chrome Welds (forged)
'97 e320 with Fuchs/oem forged staggered 18's from w221 S600
'97 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD flatbed with 16" forged Alcoa LTS
'84 euro 635csi with Fuchs/oem forged staggered 17" throwing stars from e31 850csi
'05 e320 CDI with oem cast 16's because I can't find a forged 17" wheel for the w211


But then again, if you don't drive the car much and are only in it for the look...

How much are the forged 1-pc BLQ's?

Like the sayin, "Go big or Go home". Depending on how your ride sits, I would try to fit the biggest on it, like 20's. But your gonna have to sacrifice something to get something when going that big. If you do, I think it will look fresh! I love those rims, might be the next one on the list...... Good luck!

Must be staggered though, no doubt!
