what a nice wheel! The rear lip looks so nice, remind me the BMW MK Motorsport wheels. Do you mind I ask where you get it and how much? Do they make 18"? My E class is my family car and I afraid 19" will be too rough for my kids.

Thanks!

Yea, they can make just about any wheel size you want. They're all custom made to order anyway.

check out Supreme Power for pricing. Angstrom's web page is here. I like them because they dont have the rivets like 3 piece, and a 2 piece wheel is more "True" than a 3 piece (due to 3 pc having a 2 pc barrel). Also, pricing is pretty good, and they are pretty d@mn strong wheels.

And they aren't chrome!! All aluminum (brushed centers with ceramic clear coat).

Will post pics on the car ASAP.

A few questions:
do your wheels have their ceramic coating?
Are you going to put MB center caps or angstrom ones?
How much do they weigh?
I'm looking forward to seeing them mounted on your car...those rear wheels are seriously chicago-style (those who know their pizza will know what i mean) and it'll be nice to find out how wheels from a new company hold up.

yes, they have the ceramic coating. they had to be left in a heat room, i guess kinda like baking the paint on a car.

i dont have exact weight, but i can find out. they are not superlight, but not as heavy as HRE. Other manufacturers hollow out the spokes to save weight, but have had problems cracking.. they can be made this way to save weight, but no warranty. race apps only.

Centercaps will be angstrom. here's a pic.

Hey Brav,

They look great. Congrats. I know you have been waiting a long time. Are these from their new manufacturer?

Can't wait to see them on your car. What kind of tires are you getting?
