Rotiforms BLQ 18´s in W210? yay or nay?
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)

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!

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?

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!
