nomad Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Wheel choice Your opinions please Currently I have 16x8" R129 SL wheels on Recently I got some older style R129 wheels which are also 16x8", these are a similar style to the factory 15" wheels most of us are used to, just bigger I really like both types, but until I can pick up a cheap set of tyres I'll have to switch my existing tyres if I want to change The older style wheels are actually sitting in my garage with no tyres on, the pics here with them on are only photoshopped OK here's what I'm wearing now ...and here's my option, remember they're 16" not the usual W126 15" Something else I've been thinking about is to have the centres painted black on my current wheels (first pic) which I think might look good with the machined lip which I'd have polished for more shine The only qualm I have with this is that they're only 16's which seems a bit small for this type of thing | ||

nomad Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Wheel choice 18" AMG Aero II Monoblocks, the one's on the W210 E55, are my absolute favs Replicas are an option, though I'd prefer AMG's, which of course are very hard to find and very expensive, I'm quite happy to wear smaller rims for now I just bought some lowering springs off Trade Me, will have them fitted Friday Having my car sit up so high is what has detered me from big wheels in the past, so having it lowered may turn my attention to bigger rims...great, spend money just so I can spend more money | ||

I don't think it needs to change at all. That is beautiful! | ||
