I like to have deeper lip in the back (vs the front)


but probably not too much (I'd go max 2.5"-2.75" in the rear)...


too deep in the rear , does make the car looks gettho


super deep dish in the rear only looks good on Porsches' and their rear wide fender compliment that perfectly.. ;)

Mercedes-AMG puts wings on cars for a reason in Germany. They need aerodynamic down force so they can stay on the track. In America we don't go that fast on a daily basis.

I have a picture standing infront of that C class in HWA in Affalterbach, Germany.

I think deep dish look good on R129 SLs and 500Es.

Renn, I like the wheel too. I think it comes from the New SL, but I really like the turbine wheels on the SL. They might fit a C class, but I know the wheel bolts are bigger diameter.

I'm not a big fan of wide, fat lips, either. They look good on classy, flossing cars, but for cars that are aggressive that beg to be driven, not my cup of tea.

Love the flat-faced race car look (BBS, Speedline, etc.) :D

Not so sure about more pics from the 202 DTM cars, but check out the source for tons of Mercedes motorsport pics.

Actually it's my favorite of three wheels that OZ makes for the SLR

I like a bit of lip... not too crazy though. Overboard is never any good. That applies to lips, spoilers, ground effects, etc.

I think a nice suttle lip, like the ones on the 18 inch monobloc's have. I love the lips on those, they aren't quite Steven Tyler, but more Joe Perry size.....:D

Yeah J Irwan that is nice, you have the 18x9 out back? I never knew monoblocks had a lip`like that, is that what DLS are like? Or does DLS have difrennt offset? So a 18x9.5 would even have a fatter lip. hmmm

I have 18x9 on the back

and like Benzo98 says, I like monoblok lip looks because it is subtle...
(depending on the way you look at it, sometime you can't really see the lip there, but at the right angle it will exposed the lip ;) )
I just wish they make it in 18x9.5 that way I can get just a little more lip and put wider tires on the back :D:D:D


Here is another angle that I pulled from bnsport gallery ;)

Yup. I have an 18x9 with a 35mm offset. I would love to go fatter in the rear. It seems like I break the wheels loose all the time.

well AMG needs to make a monoblock in 18x9.5 or 18x10:D

For me it depends on the car. Wider bodied cars look good with deep dish. I think BMW's compliment the deep dish extremely well. So do 202's with body kits like AMG models and aftermarket.
