Carlsson, but in Diamond finish

[jnolte]

go with carlsson


I have had 2 sets of Carlsson 5 series wheels. I had Carlsson 1/5 o18x8/18x9 on my c36 and i have carlsson 1/5s on my c43 also.

I really with i could of gottent he 2/5 but they are harder to find and also cost a pretty penny (but its worth it)

the Axis wheels are going to be ALOT cheaper...

carlsson is way better though

B. Because Axis Finish is just like Carlsson 1/16 replica. I saw this wheel in person, it looks so good. Carlsson 2/5 is just too many of them on the street.

1/6 looks best of the three. The wider face matches up with the body of the 202 well.

K, so I purchased my wheels! I decided to go with the Carlsson 1/6 EVOs 19x8.5 all around.

It will take me a few weeks to buy tires and mount them on, since it is the holiday season - need to buy presents. Once I get em on, I'll post some pics.

I'm thinking of the following set up. Please let me know your thoughts on this set up.

Wheels: Carlsson 1/6 Evo 19x8.5 all around.

Tire size: 235/35

Spacers: 5mm H&R Spacers

Springs: Vogtland Sport kit (vogtland springs + koni shocks)

Thanks again, for all your inputs on wheels.
