Time for new 19" rims,ideas and dealers??

Im getting bored with my current setup.I have the full Lorinser kit with 19's staggered in chrome.They are the Lorinser RS6,a very nice rim,but no lip and Im bored with them.

I always wanted the LM5 in chrome,so that is what I am leaning towards.Naturally a Lorinser bodied Benz,should stay with Lor rims too.But there are some other rims I have seen that would work.If you have any ideas or pics,please post them.

And Harris or the guys from EuroRev,plus any other dealers on this board,I want new rims by the spring,so I'm ready to buy soon.If you guys have any ideas or pricing please let me know and I will be more then willing to give you guys the business.

Thanks......

I've seen a white E with the lorinser pack and 20" chrome LDR's..very nice..

if i were you id try on some 20" auto couture magnifiqe's.. in the machined finish.. something nobody has done or very few have done. Just my opinion.

Im in NY

I seen the rims Tez,nice.But remember I live in NYC,and 19"s are about the biggest you can go on an E here.This is pothole central.20"s would look so hot but not if I bend them every few days.19" is my only option.......

tezta is right, autocoture makes some very nice looking wheels, they would look amazing on your car with the white and the kit, etc... i think they come in 19s
also for more ideas, buy an issue of dupont registry there are loads of different wheel brands advertised all througout the mag.

yeah i think LM-5s are hot...they are aggressive and still classy...

i have 20" LM-5s on my car (also a lorinser car kitted car) I plan on polishing the lip like HRE's polished lips.







I also think some HRE rims would look nice on an e class

547R?


546R?

Well, personally, I am not a big fan of Lorinser products, thats why I dont carry them. But I must say LM5 is the best looking wheel in the entire Lorinser lineup. I still sell them upon request. If you like LM5, I see no reason why you wouldnt like the Kleemann TS-6. I think the Kleemann TS-6 looks MUCH better than the LM5 and most importantly, VERY LIGHT!!!

im surprised i havnt seen or even seen recomended these for ANY benz. in 19" or 20" with a brushed face and polished lip i think they would be off the hezee on a benz. they look a lot like the older AMG wheels. but a much nicer 3-piece version. i think they would be perfect. just a little spendy is all.

ericktu your car is sick...the rear spoiler looks very nice i've never seen that on an s.

also, the hre's that wannabeamg showed look tight, anyway, regardless of what you get its going to look good...do you have any pics of your car now??

also, check out this line of wheels called the GFG trento they've got a couple of different styles that look pretty slick.

Choices so far......

Lowenhart BR5
Kleeman TS6
Lorinser LM5
Giovanna Genoa
Carlsson 2/5
GFG Versailles 6
Auto Couture Indicator Monoblock

I wanna do 19 x 8.5 front, 19 x 9.5 rear in chrome.As you can see,these are all 5 or 6 spoke rims(the lowenhart is a split spoke design).That is the look I like on this car.Any ideas as to best place for prices or your opinions,let me know......
