That looks amazingly good!!!
Very clean - but aggressive with the big lips.
The ride height looks just right too. Well done.
hehe... Japanese wheels on a Benz. Some of these guys are going to freak.

My brother is wheel shopping right now.
Can you give me an idea of what kind a price he can expect on a 20" staggered setup for an R230?
PM me if you'd prefer. He's been leaning towards the HRE 540Rs but these would be a nice alternative.
Once again - props to you, Tbone. Maybe just a 20 or 35% tint and you're done.

The VS-XX wheels don't come in a 20. I already tried. The 540R's are awesome, and come in a 20.
Peter is a great guy....nice guy and knowledgable. I'd buy from him again!

Is this the 1st set of Work wheels you've done on a Mercedes?

HRE, DPE, & Iforged are all great wheel companies as well, so again we're putting a non-German wheel on a German car.

Just out of idle curiousity, what does the "(56K - no way)" in the title of this thread refer to? Surely you aren't saying that a set of similar wheels from Germany costs $56,000. I know that people can spend an awful lot on wheels, but nobody (except maybe an F1 team) spends $56,000 on a set of wheels, do they? That would be sick, in the original sense of the word.
Back when I had dialup I got maybe 35K maximum, on a really good day, so I can't personally relate to the theoretical dialup max of 56K.

I had SSR Professor SP1's on my old M3, and never recieved anything but positive comments. I hope the guys on this forum aren't too unmoving when it comes to "traditional modding". Here he is (I miss him
):BTW, can you order the VS-XX with Black Centers?
