Cool Cool Rims

I would like all of you who have cool rims on your SL, to bring up your pictures in this thread, so that we all can enjoy your pride, and see what´s avalible out there.

If possible add some information as Manufacturer, Rim size, With, Offset, Price, Tyre size, other usefull information, and where to buy. :p

If you add. the link to the manufacturer, that would be nice too.

Unfortunally i have problems with reziesing my pictures, but as soon as that is solved i will show you mine.

When it's time for new tires, it's time for new wheels too...so I've been looking for some great ideas...still smitten with the SL65 wheels though.

Decided to do a full-blown Carlsson treatment. Also let the shop go wild.

I have the Carlsson 1/16 UL's on a few cars but I do them in Silver finish now instead of the polished (just too much 'bling' for an old fart like me). The UltraLight wheels reduce unsprung weight at each wheel by about 20lbs (vs. stock) and allow you to fit fat (or is that 'phat') rubber.

MSRP on the Carlsson 1/16 UL polished wheels with the tires was about $11,000 USD (!) if I remember correctly -- I didn't pay that as I had the shop do some additional work ( Hidden Radar/Laser, Sound System, Etc.).

Some of the Carlsson mods on the car:
- Carlsson front-lip spoiler
- Carlsson C-tronic suspension lowering module
- Carlsson Sports Exhaust with polished tips (sounds great!)
- Carlsson Supercharger/ECU upgrade for 585HP
- Carlsson logo illuminated door entry sills
- Rear deck-lid spoiler
- Chrome side vent and hood vent accents
- Carlsson logo badges on sides


This is definitely a nice cross-country car even with the 20 inchers and low-pro's.

i don't have an ebay account and i doubt anyone wants to do a transaction with someone on ebay without any feedbacks..

i'll settle for a few hundred less than what they have sold for on ebay... do a completed search on ebay for them and see what you come up with and let me know.. have 4000 miles on them, perfect condition.. chrome, no nicks, almost new tires from factory.. got the brabus wheels instead :>
