Looking at some wheels in the wheel/tire forum and found some TSW Donington in 19". I asked a buddy to PS them on my wagon. Not sure they're the right style for my car.

Original picture w/factory 18s:




And PS w/wheels:




Opinions?

Looks pretty good, why not try the TSW Croft or Nurburgring?

emoving

Uhhhh.......no! Those are fugly! IMO, the E class looks best with a lip or a rim that is seriously concave.

WayneE

Think we could get 10" of lip if we went widebody, like this TB I saw at SEMA?



I'm not a fan of the deep lip wheels on luxury rides. The same with oversized wheels. IMO, they look good on custom machines/sportscars, but a plain jane luxury sedan/wagon doesn't pull them off well.

emoving

Well those ones you have photoshop look like a cheap Mits. rim.

I like the stockers better.

Wayne, if you're looking for a mesh design, try the D2 Forged CV1's.

I bet they'd look great on the wagon.

Benz-O-Rama... those are freaking sweet... how much do those wheels go for? never heard of that brand but they look really good, exactly what I been looking for.

They're going to run you a multiple of TSWs.

I'm not a big fan of lips (on wheels ), but personal preference is all that really matters I would pass on TSW's though...

Benz-O-Rama

They're sponsors on this site. They're priced in line with other High quality, 3pc forged wheels.

I gotta tell you, D2 Forged wheels are nice. I have a set. But the chrome lip on one is flaking. They are 5 months old, but since they came on the car from the original owner, D2 Forged told me to pound salt on getting them fixed since I did not buy them new. For the price of these wheels, I dont care how many owners in 5 monhts there have been, they should warranty a chrome peel. IMO their customer service is crap and I would never but a set of these. DPEs and HREs would be my choice. I also loved my IForged.

If it was between your stockies and the one you are lookin at right now. Stockies all the way!

The stockers look way better than the rims in the second picture.

BlownV8

Stock looks MUCH better! The spokes on the TSW's are really really thick. I like many of the TSW designs but not this one.

WayneE

Those are really nice, Clayton. I agree with emoving, the TSWs do look "cheap" in the picture.

Get these man! Their called Imolas for really good price too!

emoving

Those must be some real elcheapos, they dont even have a logo on the center cap. IMO, stay stock if you are gonna cheap out. It's a Benz, not a Honda!

grantwoodtx

Thay are actually Nurburgring made by TSW (Thomas Scheckter Wheels son of Jody Scheckter South Africa's only F1 driver ever) head quarters are is South Africa.

Gotcha! So more cheap TSWs! Not on a Benz...please!!!!

WayneE

Is there a problem with TSWs? Quality? Failures? Are they heavy?

jayhawkblk

I think the perseception is that since you own a benz you need 5k multi piece wheels to be cool. J/K

There is nothing wrong with TSW just have to pick the right wheel for the car. The ones you picked dont look so good. They do look cheap. Perhaps look at Petrol they are a division of TSW.

novae500

I got shady customer service with D2 as well. They just want your $$$ and make excuses. My next set will be DPE or HRE. Either from a prior owner or a different sponsor.

Meeyatch1

Agreed. The stock E63 wheel looks better, and has that rear concave look too.
