amg vs carlsson dilemma

[nelius]

I'm currently running 17x7.5 et. 44 monos and i think they look great. Today, i found a deal on craigslist and snagged some 17" carlsson 1/6s et. 30. i thought you guys could give me some suggestions and which ones to run :D and as soon as i decide, im looking to sell one of the sets.

I personally like the Carolsson's but alot of the people here are in love with the AMG's.

Beautiful ride.

I like both wheels. I'd say keep the set and find a matching body kit.

[zmatt]

Put on the carlssons and send the amgs my way lol

[nelius]

@denlasoul did carlsson make a body kit for our cars?

[nelius]

i did a test fit and i'm definitely loving the look AND lower offset of the carlssons. they stick out more than the monoblocks as you can see. and zmatt, pm me if you're interested in the monos i'm looking to sell them.

PM sent, Are those the staggered 17s or 18s?

[ll1l2l1l2lll]

nice. think about getting one size smaller tire if you rub.

[nelius]

That's what I ended up doing. Went from a 45 to a 40 series tire. Also got smaller spacers in the rear I was rubbing pretty bad

[jnolte]

Well 44 et is like s class offset that's y the carlssons poke more

[Juju202]

looks really good nelius. good buy on those Carlssons.

[nelius]

Thank you. The guy did not know what he had I got the wheels for $240 with tires

[wichipong]

i got mine 18 inch for cheaper than that... lol... i have amg wheels from an s class et44 with 15mm spacers all around... might switch it up to the carlssons when the weather gets better...

[nelius]

I would switch it up now! I've been running my carlssons the whole winter even with all the rain we get in Seattle. It sure is a fun car when I've got summer tires on :D

still need to refinish them... and have my sideskirts and roof spoiler color matched...

Make sure to buy quality paint even if it's more expensive. It'll pay off in the long run. the whole process took me about a week
