These wheels any good?

[slugger]

These seem to be interesting. I am curious if anyone out there has a recommendation on quality. I am looking for an affordable 18" upgrade.

I know you get what you pay for.

Thanks!

hey i can speak from xperience.... i ordered my rims from the same person.... they are rvm and EVRYONE that has seen them all comment on how awesome they look...i went 19 inch and they are even better looking than friends of mine who have spent in the 1000's on rims.... (suckers) the rims i got are of great quality and look and i got them at a incredible price (530 for 4 19in 8.5, shipped).... i say go for it...

i was about to get those lorinser lm1 replicas...but i didnt. ive seen pictures of those same rims but 20s on a silver s class...it looked alright

[SpEeDy230]

in my opinion it would not look good on a 202.

Jnolte, What rims do you have?

[GPReyes]

I have those exact rims on my car...

see http://members.cardomain.com/gpreyes

of course if you had the cash it's always better to get the real lorinsers....but at that price, the replicas are fine in my opinion...

I'd rather get replica lorinsers, amg's, carlsson's or any other well established benz tuner, than some authentic brand rim that does not look like it's for a benz.

I used to run original 18" Carlsson 1/16's on my 280, but I didn't like how it looked to racer boy and how audis and vw's had similar looking wheels.

I'm very happy with my lm-1 reps...like I said...if you got the dough...go and get yourself the real ones...but if not...the reps are great...haven't had any probs at all...

[Luwin1026]

I actually liked my ADR's that I had on my car for a brief period of time. True, they're no BBS/AMG/Carlsson, etc. but for the price, you can't really beat that.

[ShollyC220]

IMO, pay the money and get some Brabus wheels... by far the sickest wheels made for Benz's. Mono heaven...

BTW, how do I get that dancing banana dude? ahaha, hillarious

[GPReyes]

Kit was purchased a long time ago in SF. If I'm not mistaken it's the first issue lorinser front and rear bumpers for the 202. Right now the website has the updated ones ...the new rear has two grill inserts instead of the single horizontal one I have. and same goes for the front bumper which has two metal grill inserts on both corners instead of the single one I have in the middle.

Side skirts remain pretty much the same.

You can check it out on their site.

I like the older one better though...looks more aggressive. but lorinser kits are generally more aggressive than amg but still retaining the benz shape and soul.

I'm sure you'll find a kit in your neighborhood aftermarket tuning store. or order from the site.
