Good taste, #2 are the exact wheels in question.
Yeah, dremel, that's what the thing is called
But careful you don't take off too much to the extent you'll throw out the wheel balance! Finish off with a good quality metal polish (in Asia, we have "Brasso" which really brings out the bling, almost a mirror finish - I use it on my watches, phone, wheel.........)
BTW, Jimmy here's another 'bad photoshop", man, I can't believe the extra inch could look so darn big!

Yeah its such a dilema Rich! But these have the same phat lips too - 4" rear and 3.5" fronts......
Unfortunately I'm still hearing mixed opinions about the multi-spoke look......folks, so do u prefer full face (i.e. mine) or spokes?

Getting back to the topic...your current Lufts look SiCk on your W210, but I have to agree with Jimmy & Tezta...total phatness and chrome & white cars are a good pair, and I'm all for performance so the reduce weight is a bonus, as long as you don't break the bank...I'd go for it.
