Kleemann Wheels - New Design?

Any news on new Kleemann wheel designs/availability? Saw a posting on one of these boards with pics of a Kleemannized SL55 and was wondering...

Trying to make a final wheel decision...

Check out evosports site for pics. These wheels look so cool and i am quite surprised that they will be directional.

I hear they are very expensive due to their high quality construction. Funny part is that Kleemann is usually cheaper than Brabus or Lorinser in their performance parts, but these wheels will be around HRE prices

That is pretty light, no wonder the high prices. I read somewhere that HRE's are actually not as light as they might seem.

At the moment I cannot give you an exact figure. The center "flow formed" section will be common to several rim widths, changing in offset as front and rear fitment dictate. The rim section will increase as width increases. Suffice to say that a 12" x 20" tips the scales at approx 19lbs (give or take an ounce or two) a 19 will be slightly lighter.

I will post LBS per size when the final production wheels are available in April.

Now those are very light! I can see why the price is what it is.
