I'm sorry but that is ugly. On Mercedes car, if you stick with name brand like AMG, Carlsson, Brabus, Renntech..etc. it add more value to the car. You said that you want an "honest" opinion and that was mine.

whatup?

Hey,

Sorry man, but I have to agree and say they're ugly...actually, terrible in my opinion. Stay away from chrome...

At least you bought a nice car...keep it that way!

Sorry man!

Gotta go 3 for 3 here. I don't like the look. To me it's not so much the chrome...but the 19's force you to use such a low profile tire, that it looks like there aren't any! Anyhow, I have the 17" AMG's on my SLK320 Sport and don't think I'd go bigger than that.

Course...that is what makes owning a car great..you can customize it however you want.

Just my .02

jay_slk

thank u all for your opinion,,,, i personally like the look of my car and get plenty attention from the ladies with those rims...

i understand that rims like that are normally for suvs and stuff, but when u get rims for your car it depends on your reason...most get rims to merely improve the look and handling of their car...

i bought my 19 inch chromes as pure attention getters and they are serving their purpose..

thanx

whatup?

Hey,

Whatever makes you happy...but I thought the Vario roof alone would attract enought attention. If the ladies like them, have a good time with them...

Todd

jay_slk

yes, of course the vario roof gets attention,, but lets face it,,, the novelty of it has worn off to 90% of the public......plus,, what aare u gonna do everytime u see a hot chik,,, put your top up and down?? lol

me, with my 19 inch chrome attention getters, dont have that problem....my car always gets attention whether putting top down, up or just standing still!

Sorry....you just ruined a very nice looking car!

The rims gotta go....you are destroying MB reputation.

But, it's your car, if you like it.....what can others say.

jay_slk

whatever.......

obviously u guys in here don't understand the goal of my car......and it is not ruining the reputation of mbusa..how dare u imply that.....

i garauntee my car looks 50 times better than yours.

plus it will get all the "accolades" from on lookers while yours is lonely

Shaummy

Okay Jay,

I responded...and have been staying out of the
rest of the conversation, but I can't bite my tongue anymore.

You posted a message here...a public forum... and asked for our opinnions. to quote you

"be honest and tell me if they are ugly or great"

We did just that...we told you...it obviously wasn't what you wanted to hear. So in the future, I'd either not post such a question, or live with the comments and feedback you get.

I sincerely hope you are happy with the new wheels you put on SLK.

Later,

Shaummy

LAMAY123

I am sure your car looks 50 TIMES more hideous than mine.....

plus, "accolades".....there must be some misunderstanding...the lookers were all thinking, "why would you do that?"

Last but not least....you wanted "honest opinion"....Everyone here gives a "thumbs way down". I think that says alot already. If you can't accept that fact, don't ask for OUR opinion.

Chill out buddy, no offense

jay_slk

im not upset or "unchilled" i understand that everone has their opinion and i explicitly asked for it......i just got a little perturbed that it was implied that my car is an insult to mbusa.

im goin to a car show this sat,, wouldnt it be something if i win 1st place for "best rims"

hahahaha

tb2

I don't have anything against chrome or big wheels (I have chrome 19's on my coupe) but personally I really don't like that style wheel.

linh

jay-slk,

Remember, when people look but without a respond, then it BADDDDDDDDD.

benggolf

Sorry jay_slk (whatever your name is), but people here just don't like your rims.

Stop begging for comments and trying to get attention with those wheels, because most people will just ignore you and as Linh says, if they don't give you any positive comments, they are just being polite by keeping quiet.

I re-call your post at MBNZ.org SLK forum. Take the hints buddy. People don't like your ugly rims, but it seems to make your really proud....and that all that counts. So end of story.

Bye.

awiner

Wow... Talk about not sugar coating things... lol..

benggolf

by refusing to understand unless getting it straight between the eyes! Bling! Bling!

'Nuff said.

You have the best of everything with those rims:

1) Wheels that fit the slk beautifully

2) The nicest chrome rims available (why not just get the solid sheet of chrome?)

3) Good Price since 19" Giovannis are so cheap

4) The respect and envy of all other MB owners

5) The classiest of women admiring you (huge chrome rims just don't appeal to hoes and hoochies)

...oh btw in case your wondering, yes I am being sarcastic


P.S.- good luck in the car show maybe they'll give points for originality

beantownrich

Did it ever occur to you that those girls who are apparently checking out your <i>your wheels</i>, could well be just checking <i>their hair</i>?

Of course you realise that the styling of an SLK is designed to be low-profile; to indicate that it has class and style. The one in the picture looks cheaper than every red, 'tuned', Honda Civic that we leave in our dust while chasing motor-cycles (one of my favorite pastimes in my SLK).

Go on. Complete the look. Hang a CD off your rear-view mirror!

All joking aside, I'm sure you're are only toying with us and that you'd never really put <i>those</i> on an SLK (or any other car, for that matter).

Sorry pal , i like chrome but thats too much.
So honestly speaking - Whatever you buy is better than these-
At least it may look like Mars Viking Lander with snow tyres

Serhanium

No offense man...i read it again and may sound unpleasant but you asked for an honest comment.Peace!Thanx

SLKGuy

I'm new to here, but that has to be the most hilarious looking SLK I've seen around.

V12BIGBODY

I'm reading all your comments on this guys car you guys are so funny. But all very honest and in my opinion very true. To jay-slk dude that car looks like crap what r u 17yrs old?? Don't you understand what a mercedes is?? Go buy a honda civic and do that crap. I feel personally insulted for you doing that to that poor car. WHAT DID HE EVER DO TO YOU THAT WAS SO BAD that you went and did that to him!!!

Here is your car Jay

My honest opinion, wheels look COOL, not stylish, BRIGHT, not conservative, and I'm sure girls with no brains go for it (there is nothing worng with that!! ), but i wouldn't do it to my car

You have to understand that most prople here are conservative for the most and don't easily accept something different, eyceburg11 dares to be different, look at how the criticized him, and you will understand.

V12BIGBODY

Yea I saw eyce"s ml truck but that's kinda different he's got like a car show car. And all his stuff that was added on to his truck was expensive stuff this guy throws on a set of $2k rims with tires and thinks he a big shot because the little school girls are impressed with his ghetto rims. Plus he got an attitude when those guys gave their opinon. I see those rims on lime green big chevy 4dr sedans (the name slips my mind right now) that the wanna be drug dealers drive. Gimma a break!!!!
