I'm trying to find out where the heck these wheels i just got came from? They look pretty cool because they're styled after the SLR, but i can't figure out if these were MB accessory wheels or some kind of knockoff aftermarkets. They were made in Germany. The previous owner of these had them on a W210 E55. They have at least had 2 or 3 sets of tires on them (judging by the residual tape from the weights).

The fronts are 18x8.5 and the rears are 18x9.5.

I've seen a set of them chromed out on W220 S-Class- don't know which car they come stock with though...?

I saw the same rims @ Fletcher Jones Motorcars new car showroom (a while back), they are Brabus rims. The sticker on this car (SL) add $6000.00 for this 20" set of rims (If you look at the rims (not on the spoke), there is a Brabus letter on the rims, if NO Brabus letter, it's a knock off (or replica). Regards.

I can't find any brand markings on them at all. All that is cast into the back side of the spokes is the size and offset, "T849", a date code, VAI and JWL certifications, load rating and Germany.

All together, I'm not complaining for 400 bucks!

Those rims are Lorinser LM-6. Check out this link: http://www.lorinser.com/lorinser_neu...ilder/lm_6.jpg

Thanks! I don't think they're the real thing as there's no Lorinser logo on them at all. I won't know if they are two-piece until i get the tires changed in a few weeks. The previous owner of them did have spacers for them which I'll see if i can get. The center bore is some ridiculously large 82mm, and from what I've seen the spacers also make it the correct size bore.

there are some replicas on ebay..but since the centerbore is 82mm i think they are real Lorinser's.

the only TWO things are that there is no Lorinser logo near the valve stem and that these wheels are 18". Supposedly the LM-6 doesn't even come in 18".
