Kinesis K19R

Wassup fellow mbworlder's. I would have waited until after the SD meet today to post pics but decided to post a couple intial pics. I'm sure there will be better ones later. I'd like to thank Peter from Wheel Experts and everyone from Carrozzeria Design for their help.

BTW...This IS the first set for a Mercedes. :v

They may have used your car to get measurements, but in the end I got the first set. As far as I know, when I posted my teaser pics, you didn't even have your set yet.

Oh btw, you don't have to let me think I'm first...I KNOW I'm first.

Wheels are 19x8.5F and 19x10R and tires are Bridgestone S-03 PP 245/35/19F and 275/30/19R.

I know it's no big deal. I'm just saying that I had mine before anyone else.
As for the teasers, you saw my post. You posted in it.

Didn't sell them. Was selling them a while back. No one said anything so I put them on my mom's CL for a while. Then I dropped my car and decided to put my wheels back on after seeyin someone else on the forum with their E55 on 542R's also. Made me miss mine. Was riding on them for a while until I hit some uneven pavement and blew the passenger rear tire. Wheel is fine. I think I just might get rid of the HRE's for a cheap amount, just maybe. There are paint chips here and there on the faces. I might just even end up keeping them and putting them on when I get bored of the Kinesis...(which probably won't happen)

I went with Kinesis because there are fairly new to mercedes. It seems like now a days, everyone and their mom's are rolling on HRE's. Don't get me wrong, I love HRE to death, but it seems like there have been too many here and there these days. So I went with someone that mercedes peeps really don't normally go with. Why not try something new you know?

I know...I do that all the time too

I guess Urotrash and I got off on the wrong foot. I hope there isn't any hard feeling there buddy. In the end, we both got great cars with a GREAT set of wheels to go along with it :v

You're right. But Kinesis isn't really a mercedes kind of wheel. Well at least I don't think. If they did, there would be alot more guys rolling on them rather then HRE. Kinesis isn't the first thing that comes to my mind when you ask me what kind of rims I want for my mercedes.
