What Rims Are These??

They look like Lorinsers, but I'm not sure. I'm thinking of the TSW Bremmas in 19x9.5. Does anyone have any experience with the TSWs?

It’s hard to tell for certain, but it looks suspiciously like the photo has been altered.  I really don’t believe an ML could be lowered that much without a complete suspension replacement.

I was also thinking it was a Photoshop job.

As far as TSWs they make good wheels. I have had BBS, OZ, TSW, and Campagnolo. They were all great. Most of the German and Italian wheels are very good.
The BBS two piece wheels I have on VW tend to bend easily on these crazy bad roads, but I love their looks.

Driving something like that would be one LONG scraping sound OR your head would be bobbing around so much that you'd need a neck brace just to get in the car.

Does look photoshopped to me also. The entire undercarriage is one perfectly black and the line from the bumper to the wheel does not look correct. It's not straight like that. IMHO

Nice looking wheels but the thought of cleaning around all those bolts all the time is enough to scare me off. Just cleaning the regular wheels is such a pain.

Re: What Rims Are These??

I have rivets around the BBS wheels and it it is not that bad to clean. One swipe per
rivet with and old toothbrush and they are clean.

One more clue to the Photshop job is the sidewall height on the front tires. It is at least
25% less at the contact patch than the rear. The tire is either low on pressure or the
person who did it got a bit hasty with the lasoo tool in Pshop.
