Still not sure if I'm gonna keep these for a winter set or sell them. These are a pretty rare set of wheels for W211, so I may end up keeping them. Anyway, here's a few camera phone pics. I'll take some better ones soon, after I lower the front back down to where it belongs.

RE: P30 Wheels

They look right at home on your machine. If it were my car, I'd keep em, forego the aftermarkets, and stick with your 17's for the winter.

Nah, I've got the 19" VIP Modulars on the way. They should be on my doorstep in about 2 weeks. I'll have a set of 17", 18" and 19" wheels at that point.

I hate to be the one dissenter Benzo, but those rivets/dots just are too busy for my taste.

However, the car is looking terrific !!

I hear ya, but it's tough to have multi piece wheels without rivets.

Just make sure you have that old soft toothbrush handy when the time comes.


P.S.
Don't forget to replace it at 3 month intervals or less (depending on usage).

I know, right? We all know that I'm not afraid to drop cash on this bucket of bolts, but for some reason, I just can't seem to pay the 4-5 hundsky it takes to delete those pesky little clear corners.

Yeah, cleaning any multi piece wheel is a big pain in the ***. I learned this first hand with my MRRs. Those wheels in my sig were a shoulder buster.

A few more shots with an actual camera and not a cell phone:

And no comments about my shaggy lawn. The gardener comes Thursday.

RE: P30 Wheels

I forgot to mention in my last post to puleese shoot me a PM if you get bored with them and decide to sell. My wife has informed me that I am not to add more wheel sets to my collection, but I can offer a trade + some $$ for one of my 18 inch sets which are both excellent and are equipped with all season Michelins for those pesky Winter months.

It's funny, I've had at least 5 people ask me to sell them these already. Still not sure what I want to do. These are pretty darn expensive so once I weed out the low-ballers, it's probably only 1 maybe 2 people that can afford them. Looks like TMV for these is about $3500.00 - $3900.00 w/ tires, used. I think they're $1700.00 a pop, new.

Anyway, I'll let everyone know what I want to do with them pretty soon. I'm starting to fall in love with them so it may all be a moot point.

Looks nice, but I gotta say I still like the deep lip like on your previous wheels better. Just different tastes I guess. I'm sure your 19's are gonna look much better.
