Look at Luwin's old car and edub's to get an idea of what they look like on a W202.

[sleek_benzo]

i've seen the 7 on Jon Pek car

seen the milano on Edub

not sure about the ADR?

[sleek_benzo]

Hard to put the ADR in the same consideration as the Axis. I wouldnt even think twice about the ADR.

[sleek_benzo]

i'm thinking of giving my replica to my fiancee dad.. get my stock 16 sport rims (on his 124 now).. run them for a while.. till ????

the milano sure looks nice.. so does the mod.. so does the adr..

damn i hate it when this happens..

(hoping to get a new set of wheels on my birthday)

[Pagz]

hey the mods and milanos are nice ....
thanks to edubs ride, mine sits on a set too...

Regards,
Paul

[sleek_benzo]

i know.. you're ride is pretty sick also...

though yours doesn't sit as low (which is a good thing.. i don't really like to slam mines.. even though it look sick..)

which pads are you using?? spacers??

[Under Pressure]

The "Mod" looks to be a rip-off of some old skool Racing Harts (M5?) and the "Milano" is clearly a rip-off of Carlsson 2/5 wheels. ANd the ADR just doesnt look all that hot.

[sleek_benzo]

thanks.

Hi Paul Could I see a picture of your car. I am about to get the milanos for my 1999 c280 but I don't want to lower it too much.

thanks

[pnsji]

Milanos!

[locopr31]

yes, I am getting a set of Milanos 19" hopefully next week. Can anyone tell me the price they pay for them. Of course I am looking for the best price.

Thanks

Zeke

[sleek_benzo]

hahaha.. i guess there's more interest in milanos than i though.. maybe we can get a group buy on it???


just a thought..

[c_lee]

get the milanos! -- the mods are ... "eh" in my opinion. i've seen it on a 202. and makes the car look more liek a ricer.


if you have black car, the milano with blacked out spokes would look tight!

its just my opinion

i was thinking maybe gunmetal?? :D


the mod ricey?? http://www.eurosportiff.com/

[pnsji]

if you go with "Mod", you better have a really aggresive setup to make it look good.

[sleek_benzo]

true.. me like milano too much anyways..

those were the 3pc Axis se7ens on JPs car. The mods are 1pc. not sure if they look much different tho.

thanks...its on #2's all round....and im in the process of installing eibachs etc....
no spacers at the moment,but there may be a need for them in the rear soon as it rubs on the inside when cornering hard...
the reason being milanos in 9.5 dont come in et35,mine are et 40,
but the 8.5 do come in et35,this is what i have on the front,the 235 rubber clears the control arm by 4mm,and i had to roll the guards out 10mm,and cut the metal between the bumper and the fender....so they are far from a perfect fit...
but if you use 225 up front and stretch the tyre to its max,then some of this can be avoided....

Paul

[sleek_benzo]

aintME - from the looks of it.. the mod and 7 don't look much different..

23K - you selling?? :D

pnsji - those are nice.. but something about milano that keeps me looking.. must be the deep lip...

[sleek_benzo]

think i'll be going with these now...

http://www.hopad.com/uploads/35/1093447629_1.jpg


buying wheels is like a kid with a buck in the one dollar candy store.. you want everything but can only afford one...

[c_lee]

i'm not all that crazy about the axis finish rims, but i think for my next rim i will get the axis milano's with black spokes....

:D

[sleek_benzo]

you don't like the sevas wheels up there??:(

[c_lee]

they look ok....hard to tell without seeing on a car,

i prefer the milanos...just a personal preference is all

Hi Paul:

Is that including the tires or just the rims. Also If you don't mind where did you get them. up here in Boston they are charging an arm and a leg.

Thanks

Zeke

[sleek_benzo]

i think they look very nice...

http://www.hopad.com/uploads/35/1093984688_1.jpg

[Denlasoul]

I dont like the Sevas wheels as much as the Milanos. I am not fond of the spokes being curved in so dramtically.

that is just for the rims....tires cost as much again!,
(depending on brand)
im in NewZealand,i purchased them of spy engineering in US for
$1500USD + $269 frieght,+customs clearance etc...which worked out being ~$2400NZD,then my tires cost $2000NZD for eagle F1's....

there site is www.spyeng.com ,there are many more sites if you check axis website also...this one seemed to be the cheapest option for my situation...

[sleek_benzo]

damn.. glad i'm in the us.. :eek:

[CKlasse]

Damn susanto... I ll buy my next rims from Ebay. They are so cheap!

[sleek_benzo]

i really like those sevas rims.. we'll see... :D

[c_lee]

i agree. i don't really like the sevas wheels. for me the spokes are way too thin in my opinon.

but either way....they look better than stock.

ultimately it's what you are happy with - its your money!
