Kleemann TS6 wheels in Gun-Metal...

Hi...

Just received that picture from Kleemann Denmark...

I am thinking of buying a set Kleemans 19's TS6 wheels on my black E55, that is coming in JUNE...

So I asked them... if the can be done in gun-metal and they said... sure but they will cost extra 1k...6400 EURO...

Picture is not that good, but IMHO reg. polished TS6's look better...

I like the gun metal also. Subtle but cool look.

I agree with you that the regular polished looks better.

I think gunmetal makes almost every wheel better. If you get 'em though, DONT LET KLEEMANN PAINT THEM. 1k is a lot of money to paint a set of rims, and if you don't want to spend the extra cash, take them to a bodyshop and have them paint 'em.

absolutely disagree...trust me I was thinking about painting mine. Kleemann won't warranty them for any failures (paint, leaks, bends, etc) if they're taken apart by a body shop. Oh, and once you've seen the inside of those bad boys (the silicone bead in particular), you won't want to put them in the hands of your body shop - they just won't be able to put the wheel back together as they come from Klemmann. Unless you want them to do a tape job on your nice and expensive wheels don't have the body shop paint them.

Need any more reasons?

weight...

is high. I think they were around 29lbs in 19". Too bad 'cause they're a sexy wheel... I've also had two lips already bend on me. Brandon @ Kleemann told me to watch my driving habits however, I've rarely ever had lips (on cast or forged wheels - and I've been through many) bend so severely over "normal" road conditions.

All this being said...they are a dead sexy wheel and I'm glad to have them on my car

I guess not - The fact that Kleemann voids the warranty for a paint job is simply retarded. I find it flat out chauvinist that they could do such a thing assuming that their wheels are potentially fatally damaged once theyre taken apart by a non-Kleemann tech. Plus, a good body shop is accustomed to things like painting wheels and regardless of the job, it can be done well. If I were you I would probably pay the extra 1k to have Kleemann do it just because I would be afraid of voiding anything but I'm just letting you know that those guys aren't the only ones who know how to take apart (and put back together) a wheel
Be sure to post pics when you get 'em, I'm sure they'll look sweet

I've having my HRE 841R's done in Gunmetal over the winter while the stockies are back on. Cannot wait to see the new look after the winter, should be tight.
