"Steal" is such a harsh word ... brings with it such negitive connotations:

Knowing what little I do regarding the law, i would never intentionally acquire something that belonged to someone else.

However, I have no problem accepting a gift (such as the pic used in my Avatar, for instance) that came from a friend off HIS hard-drive.

I have no reason to believe, that the pic was the property of anyone else but my friend (a.k.a. 'fall-guy' ... 'buffer' ... 'straw-man').

But thanks for asking though
I meant steal like one steals 2nd base- therefore you will not go to jail and you can collect your 200.00 dollars- I too was bestowed a nice Avatar from a friend's hard-drive

hey peter!

I've seen that black clk around. That pic was taken from D2 Technik. That car's wheels are pretty much all tucked in. But it still runs like a show car.

Its between the Carlsson Brilliant 2/6's and the Lorinser LM5's at this point. The Carlsson's are cheaper but I have yet to see the new model on an actual car, anybody got any pics???

that aspen green CL600 belongs to Tony Martin of the Atlanta Falcons, doesn't it? It was in last month's DUB magazine.

BTW, those Carlsson 2/6s look pretty nice on that new sportcoupe, eh?

I gotta stop replying to myself...this thread is already 7 pages

Peter those 2/6's do look awesome.... I have some time- These wheels are to replace my Brabus Mono V's so I may just take the cash now that I ran up 3k in X-Mas presents but I'd love to have 2 sets of wheels. Anything else out there cool that we havent seen yet?? Lets get this thread to 10 pages :p :p :p :p

i think you've got a pretty good choice there deciding between LM5s and 2/6s. Either one, you can't go wrong. Carlssons are cheaper. Lorinsers are pricer, making them more exclusive. Both multi-pc wheels are made by OZ. Flip a coin.

Just don't let Phil Luckett make the call.

we have a chemical engineering firm specializing in ammonia, urea, and melamine production. I have a degree in Chemical Engineering from UT, and Finance and Marketing degrees from UH(that took 10 years BTW). I'm also working on a MS in Finance from UH starting next year. I also used to manage a wheel/tire shop here in Houston (95-98) That's why I know lots about wheel/tire fittiments and those types of things and some people in the industry. I was going to go into energy trading, but with the Enron situation, i'm not so sure now....

BTW...1 96 E320+1 98 CLK320 <= 1 2002 E55

maybe next year...i'm considering a new house right now. The one we looked runs almost half a mil (that's a lot for Texas, not for CA though) so the car may have to wait a bit. That's the grown-up side of me talking.

However, with these repeated camber problems, if I can't fix, it, well then E55 here we come!!!

Hey KwiK those are sweet wheels, forged, light, and clean but the performance shop I am dealing with is not an authorized dealer so I am kind of out of luck on those. Thanks for your input.
