Id like to see different set ups on rims and tires. Can we get some pics on here? I just bought a 2007 GL and I wanted to know how different rims and tires look along with the sizes.

Thanks

If I may suggest, look at the picture thread and ask specific users if you can't tell what their setup is.

I have looked through that thread and it is just a general thread. Mostly with GLs with OEM rims and tires. Having a thread of with just pics of aftermarket rims and tires would be alot more efficient for everyone. That way everyone looking for rims and tires would not have to go through 1129 posts looking for how certain tires and rims look on a vehicle. This is just a thought and plus everyone likes to look at pics with nice looking cars. Its like going to a car show with out going to a car show. Plus having 551 views on 8 1/2 hours, there must be alot of interest. Its just that no one has posted any pics so far. So, lets see your rims please.

These will fit the GL they are for sale... 22" 285/35/22

Ah! Now I get it! Mine are just OEM chromed rims - are you just looking for aftermarket ones? It makes sense to me that that could be a useful thread, indeed. It's one of the easiest and possibly most common customizations.

Here's a pretty good list of available wheels: http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/mer...ss_x164_alloys

Ml350. I like your rims. I have also considered those. Chris, I have looked at countless rims. There is nothing like actually seeing them on a car. I have benzondubz old rims I bought 5 years ago. I've seen them before but when I saw them on his car, I fell in love. I still have them on my s500.

So, if you have some rims on your GL, let's see them!!

Thank u, they actually don't make em any more... Check the new ones they actually have the spokes recessed in and not out like these.

Hard to explain unless u see both.

thanks for the site ml. i like both those rims from brabus on that site. i am being carefull on chosing rims as i dont want to put rims on that will not look good for a benz.

Good thing about it you can always change LOL

I have had 4 sets on my ML in 2 weeks and I had at least 9 sets on my 300C SRT8 I just sold. I like messing though.

blacksl, i was looking around the carlsson site but i couldnt navigate to where the rims that you pitured are. can you direct me to the link. i was able to get to the kleemann site which also had some nice wheels.

PorscheTT

I had a hard time looking around also. So hopefully this will help.

22" wheels perfect offset...$900 a set from Eurotech wheels in San Diego.

At first, I thought the 22" would be too "bling", but it's the perfect size for the GL.

I agree. It should have come from the factory with 21's or 22's on all the models. The right 22's really make a huge visual impact.

angelglo

22''s do look good. what offset and what size tires are those. it looks like those are the size that i will use

Looks really nice... what tire specs are you using?

Venom-AMG

I'm running 285/45 nitto tires. The ride is the same as stock but the car feels more planted instead of floaty like stock wheels
