Staggered 19" Carlsson 2/5s with new rubber!

$1600 + shipping

I've put the stock 17s back on my CLK, so I'm looking to get rid of these. I just bought new tires (literally no more than a couple hundred miles on them). These are authentic two-piece Carlssons with polished stainless rims, and silver painted centers.

Fronts:
19x8.5 +35
Nankang NS-II 225/35/19

Rears:
19x10 +40
Nankang NS-II 265/30/19

I did have some minor issues with vibration at higher speeds; I had one bent wheel repaired, but I think at least one other is slightly bent. It wasn't a major issue so I never worried about trying to figure out which one. I have some pics of the wheels on my CLK already on the forum:

it's a bit strange. The fronts are hubcentric for a 66.56mm hub. The rears do have a 66.56mm hub bore, however there is a beveled section near the end that mates to the hub, so a hub ring is needed. If the wheel were mounted on a car with a really long hub, no hub ring would be needed. Anyway, all necessary hub rings to fit on a 66.56mm hub will be included.

Price Reduced Again!

$1500 + Shipping.

The tires alone were ~$800 and are practically new, so I don't anticipate going much lower, but make me an offer.

BUMP.

These things are still just sitting in my garage and although they're nice to look at, I'd prefer to have the space!

Make me an offer.

I am not an sure, but after a bit of research, it seems the fronts would stick out an extra 8mm (~.31") and the rears would stick out an extra 9mm (~.35"). I don't anticipate this would be a problem; you can measure the distance from the rim to the fender to be sure. Both fronts and rears would have more clearance on the inside. I used the following calculator to determine the differences:

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

If you can confirm the size and offset of the wheels you have now, I can tell you with greater certainty. I used what I believe to be the specs for stock C63 wheels:
  • Wheel Width: 8.5" Front 9.5" Rear
  • Wheel Offset: ET 43 Front and ET 43 Rear

Well, the main problem I get is the brakes. The guy I work with at my local shop told me that we won't know whether they'll fit until we actually try to fit them. Do you have pictures? and the wheel's model?

They are authentic Carlsson 2/5s (2 piece, 5 spoke). I can get you some pics, and I'd be happy to make some measurements. If you want, measure the distance from the hub face to the farthest protruding section of the rotor wth some calipers. We won't know 100% if it will work, but this would tell us if it wont work.

That would be great. I don't know how to measure it. If you could contact carlsson to verify and send me the pictures, I'll take them

New pics

A little dusty from sitting in the garage for a couple months. I've also included a closeup shot of the worst of the curb rash on one of the rear wheels.

complete n00b here. I have a 2003 C230k, w203 style. I wonder if these rims would fit. I currently have staggered 19s with 8.5 on the front and 9.5 on the back. All i really know is the exact tires to buy.
i don't know what you mean by +35 and +40. I'm guessing that's the offset, but I have no clue if that applies to me. I'm interested because I have Carlsson body kit and pulley system already installed on the c230.

Thanks!

+35 and +40 are the offsets of the wheels. Our cars accept the same size wheels. Spacers will be necessary for the rear wheels; I ran them with 15mm spacers in the rear. The fronts will not require spacers.

bump! I'm ready to get rid of these, so make me a (reasonable) offer!

They haven't been sitting upright, and I've been moving them around a lot, so no need to worry about flat spots or anything like that (it's only been a few months anyway). They're currently being stored in a cool, dark spot in the garage...

According to this website:
http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/inf.../mercedes-benz

You should have no problem clearing the fender-well inside and outside. As for brakes, I'm not 100% sure, but at most you would need 5mm spacers.

Since I hadn't sold them, I had these back on my car for about a week. I noticed a bit of a vibration at highway speeds so I took them to be road force balanced. They feel better, but it turns out the front right wheel is pretty badly bent. I don't feel like repairing it myself, so I'll just lower the price.

$1,250 OBO!

I need these gone! As described above, one of the wheels will need to be repaired, but this is still a great deal for a very nice set of hard to find wheels.

I prefer a local buyer, but will ship at buyers expense.
