I'm toying with changing my rims to 18" , taking advantage of the fact I need to replace my rear tyres .

Obviously I'd love some original AMG wheels or similar , but the wallet is made of leather not rubber and won't stretch enough !! >

Does anyone have rims similar to these or have/seen a photo of these on a r171 as I'd like to get an idea of what they'll look like and I haven't found anything ?

The nearest I've found is in a CLK :

No one ??

They're gonna be pretty unique then .....:wink:

Nice!! >

Never seen those before, they'll look mint :wink:

I haven't seen those before... but, I really like them, and I think they'll look great on an SLK! :tu:

 

[curro101]

Well , I bit the bullet and ordered them today , so a week or so and they should be here ....let's hope they look the dogs bo.....s , or the wife will have mine ! >

On my garage pic you will see that I got 18" mags on and I think it is stunning

I think those will look great on your SLK. Please post some pics once you get them on the car.

Craige, congrats, they are beautiful! Of course they will look good on your car...very classy. Hurry and get them on!

Those will be good on an SLK.
I hope so, as I decided on the same, but with gloss black spokes, on my car..!

 

[curro101]

It'll be interesting to see how they differ on the cars , please post some pics here when you get them fitted ..

 

[slimesbro]

have you looked for them @ tirerack.com? you can see all the wheels they sell that fit on your car. they might have those or something close to it.

Um, wont do any good - he is in Spain and I am in France. But we have the wheels already - not looking for anything!

 

[curro101]

I think I'll wait and see them on the car now , that way I get a suprise ...

 

[curro101]

Well they're here , tyres on and mounted on the car !

As they're ET35 front & ET32 rears in 8,5 & 9,5 respectively , they fit perfectly without the need of any spacers and look great IMHO ....

They look fantastic dude ,, keeping them clean is going to be fun ,,

 

[curro101]

Jeff's going to give me some tips on the cleaning side .... :wink:>

 

[dbgrn]

I agree... they look fantastic Craige!

I am still a way off with mine, maybe in a week or so.
As a matter of interest, what size tyres did you fit?
I must have had as many suggestions as I have asked! I am planning 235/40 front and 255/35 rear.

 

[curro101]

I put 225/40 on the front & 255/35 on the rear , I got them from Pnues online , Hankook V12's , much cheaper than I could get anything locally ...
They'll take 235 on the front no problem , but I wasn't sure if there'd be any problem with rubbing as all the charts state 225's on the fronts , although I've just rechecked a list I have which put 235 on 19" rims at the front , so they should be fine !
