Hey Rich, I think this might be the Silver E with the 1/6's you and Jimmy were discussing.....

BTW, $10K for 1/16UL/BE and have to wait???? You guys are sure paying too much.........

want to change the look...

"Hey Rich, I think this might be the Silver E with the 1/6's you and Jimmy were discussing....."

Is there anything that I could help you guys with?

I just want to change the look of the car. It's become a classic look for a silver W210 to have 1/6 evo's. It's time for a change. :p

Should I have the wheels refurbished (sp?)/repainted before selling? It would look new after its done and would be more appealing to the buyer. I think it would cost about 400? to have it done. No dents or anything, just little curb rush and nicks on the paint. What do you guys think?

Yesterday I called Carlsson NA (305) 717-0000 and Chris (I think that's his name) said Autowerks in San Diego normally stock most of their products, including the 2/6 and 1/16 wheels in 18 and 19 sizes.

Uuuhhhh, we possibly saw your ride cruisin around Northridge and were wondering whose it was as both Rick and I thought is was my old one, don't get excited...

Anyway, if you want to get your wheels refinished it will only cost you about $40-45 bucks a wheels in Santa Ana. Go to MagMasters website and call them to set an appt. if you're interested. I have done 4 sets of wheels there and they have come out like new every time.

Chris: Didn't even cross my mind that it could have possibly been your Carlsson ride I've been seeing here in the west-valley area

Jimbo: I've taken your advice/recommendation, and had Mag Masters repair a minor curb rash on a previous wheel....Sterling, hooked it up for $35 in 20 mins, other shops in the 818 were quoting $120 Thnx brutha

Last sighting was approx. 3 weeks ago at the Plummer & Tampa intersection (nearby Northridge Mall) during late afternoon, I caught a quick glance due to moving traffic, but enough to spark my interest

$120 is even low compared to a couple of the shops I checked in the SFV. Yeah, they do great work and they're very fast...

Yeah and you didn't call me bro! Nope, saw a while back as Richard mentioned. Might have been around the same time too because I live off of Tampa near the mall and saw it near there.

Any of you guys know where I can get the lip of my Carlsson 2/5 fixed? Nobody around here is willing to touch it. Most think the lip is chrome and one person thought it was stainless steel. Any info or advice?

Sorry, can't help with FL. but I can tell you that the lip is neither. Any repair shop should be able to refinish it without touching the rest of the wheel, for cheap also...
