Wow. Are those 22's?

When I first clicked this thread, I said to myself, I hope it's a silver or black car. IMO the rims don't fit on a flashy red car, because the rims themselves are very flashy.

Yeah I agree red would be a little much with these babies. If money was no object.........ahhhhh. I think they are probably about the scale of 22's lol

If I remember right, Lorinser makes like a very similair replica of these wheels for less than half that price and then MercedesBenz has a style of those wheels that is also inexpensive, compared to the 10k$.

You're right,Lorinser do similar wheels,the LM 06 turbine style.Cost is Approx.
Euro 6000.
But the replica's are out in force,and we do have an exact replica here in Lebanon made in Japan I believe and they cost USD 600 the four...Biiiiiiiig saving for something that you're going to damage anyway.
We have replica's here for every original wheel made and they all cost
USD 600/800..
I had Lorinser RSK5 on my SL..they cost their original owner Euro 6000.
Now two of them are cracked,and they all all useless..What a waste!!!
With replica's,you can change your wheels every year if you're fed up with the look or whenever you change your tires....

I don't know.... I thinkk the wheels clash with the straight lines of the car. I put 2003 SL55 wheels on my SL600, and it looks terrific.
