[B]Carlssons being too expensive? never heard that before in my life, those rims are dirt cheap.
I think otherwise. The Carlssons I'm talkin about is the 1/16 I tink but not the diamond but the ultra light. The numbers Harris gave me are pretty up there but at the same I dunno cause I personally think it looks good. I mean it's unique. I'm going for the unique look. That is why I'm considerin the 542R's and not the 540R's like everyone has...

Lowered to the fullest on some 19inch staggered just looks like its meant to be, 20s make the car look weird. Look at that 211 with 20x9.5's, it looks weird. lol looks like I contridicted my own question!

Their prodcuts are very well made. I guess the reason why you think their stuff are "dirt cheap" is because Tirerack really sell their wheels "dirt cheap" last year. But I can tell you Carlsson products have almost the same price as Brabus. Whether you think they are worth that much is another matter. Yes, the 19" 1/16 Ultra Light that I showed "Benzoboi" are as expensive as the HREs. Each wheel weights less than 20lbs. IMO, the 8.5x19 and 10x19 will look very aggressive on a W211.
20" does look nicer, but to be honest, I think it is not very practical. 20" tires are also VERY expensive, imagine you hit a nail at the sidewall, there goes a $400 tire. Sometimes "nice" is one thing, "practicality" is another thing.
