Anyone Know Anything About These Alloys

Hi Guys,

Could someone please help me in identifying these alloys. I saw them on another GL but cant find them anywhere. I think they look incredible on the GL and would round up all the work I put into my baby.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Geez, they look familiar. I think a member on another forum has them on their W163, but I can't think of the name.

thanks for the help mate!

his last post suggests that they are lorinsers, although they have a mercedes badge on them?!

http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w164...ml#post2683935

Plus the ones on the GL dont look as big as 22", they seem more like 20".

i just e-mailed him. hopefully get some information.

Hey, easy--see page 24 of current Mercedes Enthusiast magazine.

Premier Auto Design advert.

These are KAHN RS-C wheels.

You're right about the center caps, and some order the caps in the same color as the body color, which really only works with the darker colors. Check out the many pics of Nevada Jacks GL on various threads in this forum. They look great.

I like the way those wheels look on the GL...

BUT

HOLY SCHNIKES! Those are some really expensive wheels... Especially when you factor in the Pound/Dollar exchange rate

Here are some of the costs for four of each of the available sizes...

18x8: $9,036.68

20x8.5: $11,280.06

20x10: $13,902.59

22x10: $17,378.24

Whoops, I just noticed that the pricing on the site was for four wheels with no tires...

So take all of those numbers above and divide by four... That seems a bit more reasonable...

18x8: $2,259.17

20x8.5: $2,820.02

20x10: $3,475.65

22x10: $4,344.56

The tires in the UK would set you back another 800 UK Pounds (1600 dollars) and the mercedes caps for the finishing touch about another 35 pounds (70 dollars). All in all a little fortune!

But they look so sexy on the GL

Just found these on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/22-WH...7451QQtcZphoto

Quite like the KAHN's mentioned earlier in the thread but these ones seem more genuine. Problem is that they are replica's. Anyone have experience with replica alloys/rims?
