thought those were aftermarket rims, but after seeing the 2nd pic....realize they come stock on the R230s. I still think they look hideous and would take a stock W211 rim over those anyday!

Why do you ask if you already made up your mind and don't like the answers given by the membership.

And who the hell are you to tell me what i should like or not like? Someone on the board already asked what their opinions are regarding these SL sport rims and guess what...i've seen it before your post and still think they're fugly!
https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w211/157571-how-will-these-rims-look-w211.html

If you want it for your car...by all means...GET IT...just don't be whining if people think its hideous!!!

Ditto. It's your car and your money and so you don't need the approval of your friends, family, neighbors or co-workers before putting whatever rims you like on it. You sure don't need the approval of anonymous strangers like me.

Thanks for the pic...ohh & w211 ryda (read carefully) I didn't tell you what to think; if it wasn't for the photoshop pic above we both haven't seen it. The pics are dead in the link you posted and I did search and find that same thread.

Give the new people a chance...you didn't even know that they were OEM's.

I'm not pushing the idea I was just asking for a pic

I think they'll look nice chromed on a white car with tints.

i dont think they're bad...but do think they'd look out of place on an E car.
would be great on the car I take to the shooting range, though. makes it look
like some large caliber revolver cylinder.

And I'm knockin on it cuz I've "seen" and "commented" on those rims before since Kosherbenz ALREADY asked what everyone thought about the SL sport rims on the W211 chassis. You'll see what the majority of the people thought about it as well. The picture may be down in his thread, but thats what he was referring to. Do a search in the R230 forums and you'll see more pics of the rims (not necessarily on a W211). Here....I'll do it for you. Anyhow...I'm over this frivolous debate. I hope you get those rims and enjoy them....post pics for us if like!

You asked for an opinon and you got it. Don't take it personally.. Like DWP said it's your car and your money so do what you want. Don't let us sway your choice.

I personally think they aren't that bad but I wouldn't put it on mine. I've seen much worst wheel choices on a Benz..
