I'll agree with ryhi, very O.G. indeed.......

They just look very "Mercedes" if anyone knows what I'm talkin' about.

i think those would look best on a classic mercedes over a w202

i'm thinkin freshly restored all black '78 450SLC! that would be so sick

mixed feelings about them on the 202....

but for $300 + tires it might be worth a try

Not a DTM car...but one of Hans Aufrecht's personal race cars...one that he had to buy from the mercedes showroom and turn into a race car:

you think spacers will be needed is it was put on a c220. i got a system to, wonder it that will do anything to its ride

rman
09-19-2006, 07:14 AM
i might look at the black ones. hell maybe the silver ones....i dunno...cheap enough to hold me over until i can afford 19s.... and they def. are different

I photoshopped them onto my car and they do kinda look hot. I might have to get these seeing as how I'm on a budget...

i like them...i was pricing out tires and a set of tires is gonna cost more than the wheels after shipping!


i also looked into these....not to bad, i like the style a little more, but again, tires are gonna run at least $500 for a set...

http://jdmmotorworks.com/rims/RVM/M755Black1Benz1.jpg
i could run these with a spacer in the back and 225/30r20 all the way around

rhyi said we'd need to run spacers. Can anyone explain why? I never understood the point of spacers other than making your wheels flush against your fenders.

to clear the brake calipers. they are definitely old school.

dunno bout the link...go on ebay and try "mercedes 20 avs" i think those are all in the title....

only thing is ride would be shitty as fuck with a 225/30r20...not to mention those tires would cost a fortune!

I want them for snow tire rims. I asked him if they come in 17... if they do I'll get a set.

aznw202
09-21-2006, 05:23 AM
I think i would liek to get me a set of 17s or 18 for the winter. tires shouldnt be a problem bc my friend works at a tire store and get close to half on tires if not more. So if anyone here in central ohio and need tires PM me. What kind of spacers do you htink you ll need for these rims and where can i get them.

I sent an e-mail to the seller asking how much they weigh BUT no response from them.
I'm 100% sure they weigh like a fat mama:D
BUT....you get what you paid for!

Denlasoul
09-21-2006, 08:43 PM
They probably made of steel.

They do look gangsta...but only if they are big....otherwise they'd look too stock.
