I'm sorry, but me no like. Looks like a starfish in the middle of a ballooning chocolate donut.


PS: Please tell your photographer to dump the distorting wide angle.

Ditto... Mind you this is constructive criticism, but criticism none the less... Too many screws around the perimeter makes the rim look cheap. That was cool in early 2000, not so much anymore - everyone does it, well every rim at PepBoys has them... The convex spars don't help the rim or the car. I'm guessing yours aren't $700 w/free shipping either (see link)... Why not something clean and concave, like in your avatar? Those rims would complement any car... Chip Foose once said that when you mod a car, it's supposed to look like it came that way, not like some aftermarket bolt-on crap - There you have it - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-ME...item4841ee0340 - these have a better lip, but are still junk...

Thanks guys we appreciate the feedback good or bad (constructive). Maybe a GLK owner should try a set of our new Concave look wheels I think it would be killer on the GLK.

While not a GLK, here is a GL with our Concave CV1 wheels. Do you like something like this better?

That's more like it! Nicer wheels, plus a semi tele, or longer lens, looks best.... as seen here in this pic compared to the distorted GLK shot in the first post.

I'm up in Ocala, about 60 miles north of Orlando... I'm only keeping my 2011 GLK till the AMG sport package get released for the new W166. I hear it's going to mid-year 2012 - hoping for a non-4matic too...

I'm not digging their 20's, maybe come looking for you on those sweet CV3's...

These would look real nice in 20" on a black GLK, especially if we could keep some of that lip... Not a fan of the black wheel thing.



Because they are highly polished they will look similar to these...




^ See what I mean? Compare this look to the pix you posted at the top of the thread? They'll look great but I don't believe you make these in 20" for the GLK...

Even these look nice... with a polished lip too!
