E55 AMG
HRE's or Carlsson Rims

I am thinking about purchasing these.....good deal or not??? Seems kinda high considering the wear on the tires. I can probably get HRE's for about this price, for new ones...let me know what you guys think.

I'd say get the HRE's. At least they'll be brand new and to your own specs.

I'd get the Carlssons just because you don't see them around as much. I like the look too. Very handsome and clean...

He did lower the price on his thread, so shoot him a PM...might get a better deal. 1/16s look very classy (his car looks nice)...but then again HRE's do look beautiful. Geez, tough call!

The guy selling the Carlssons is a PUNK!!

That PUNK is me!! I did put my wheels on the forum and got some activity but no one pulled the trigger. Let me know if you are interested so we can make a deal. I have the price listed higher so that I don't get the typical fools on ebay.
