need your opinion = Pick one!

aite guys imma drop some cash on some new shoes

first of all i have a stock '97 E320 which is in ugly green and i wanna know what rims you guys think would look pimp on my ride:

FYI, they are replicas (Moven's, cuz i dont have much cash) and they will be riding on an H&R cup kit which i will purchase along with the rims

anyways ive narrowed it down to:

Monoblock VI's OR Lorinser LM-5's

Chrome or Polish?


everybody has been suggesting "the wheel exchange" in cali but i have yet to call them on prices but please feel free to post where and how much youve spent if youve got these rims (replica's of course) because im still shopping around

oh and BTW where is the cheapest place i can order the H&R cup kit??



thanks

got em from Thewheelsupply.com TWS. Good place in Walnut, CA. Moven brand. I think a good deal for them would be 800-900 bucks.

Careful now, the lips are polished, not chromed, but yes, essentially, that's the look it's going for. Two of the brabus caps are real, two others are replicas I was given. Otherwise you can find them on ebay for like 50 bucks. As for the price i mentioned to you, that would be for all 4 rims, without tires.

you should also paint your lower fenderse to match the rest of the car, that would streamline the look of the car (or get a body kit!!) GL

Don't get chrome rims. If you want the bling, do like me, get the polished look. Chrome add weight to the wheels, can chip, and if that happens then you gotta redo the entire wheel, and supposedly, it ****s w/ the integrity of the rim.
