New shoes

Just got these last week. They are 19" and so far they're my favorite pair. Ride just like stock, dare i say somewhat smoother. Still on stock ride height, just Sportt II.

Can I be the first to say I am so jealous! By far and away the best looking wheel on family saloon cars

Nice choice of color to have those refinished in.

So classically beautiful. Plus a great wheel to boot.
I like the red caps, maybe calipers in same red.

That is a hot whip you got there. I like the red caps. I think red calipers would help to set it off.

Clean. I agree with the guys on the red calipers. That would really round out your look. Good work.

Love em, biased here too since Im on set 3.

Keep the red caps- they break up the dark face of the wheel.

His wife crazy
Okay, call me a wheel novice, but what are they? All I know is that I want a set for my car. (As soon as my wife gets over the 1198 S Corse)

BBS - LM's

I propose offering the wife "the alternate option": "Honey, I can either get the wheels for the MB or the Termi's and ECU for the Duc - which should I choose?"(should cost about the same either way)

nice pick up on the Duc - I keep talking myself out of the BMW 1000rr

I thought these would be lighter than the stockers, but to my suprise it's the same exact weight as the stockers. Both fronts and rears. My 20" Donz I had previously was lighter.

So sick!! The rear wheel flange where the bolts are should have been masked off before powder coating though, so it matches the front. The rear face looks larger due to it being mounted on the outside.

Love these wheels on the W211. Have you considered reverse-mounting the rear faces to match the fronts (would add a little more lip too)? By the pictures I'm not sure if your offsets would allow it though.
