most of the prices were found on british sites and I know they are way overpriced.

Anyways it gives a good idea.

What do you think of those wheels?
I like the privaat look with lips, do you have any other models that are alike?

Other very nice wheels:

Privaat Fahren looks the best out of the ones you posted.

[Scotty-C190E]

Uhhh, I don't like any of them. Look like young bimmer kid stuffs.

How about the LM-2 for something different?

I am going to have to say the Privaat Fahren's, those are pretty chunky!!

Hey PNSJI, where did you get the picture of that W202 with the 19's? Do you know that person?

[Denlasoul]

Here you go, the second best wheel for the W202 (IMO).

bekkers eh.... i like them too but I see them on BMWs all the time :(

[speedybenz]

Pick one that does not weigh over 17lbs per wheel in 17" and 18-19lbs per wheel for a 18" diameter wheel.

hum, seems pretty loght for a wheel

I know it's a big loss in performance to have heavy wheels, but the gain in strenght (like on a impact) wouldn't make the difference for the loss of power?

and also aren't those light wheels like 1500$ a wheel?

thnx for infos.

hehehe, time for me and my old fart car and modding attitude to leave! :p j/k

[MrSpace]

hum, unfortunately most wheels aren't available in sizes to do a staggered setup.

like the fahren: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelSizesByBrand.do?step=sizes&index=0

they have 18x8 offset 40
but no 18x9 for the rear, neither different offsets.

Etienne

I think these are pretty cool... Azev AS.
Anyone know the price?

http://www.azev.com/images/programm/color/as.jpg

Available in:
Size Offset in mm
8 x 17 30 to 45
9 x 17 30 to 45
8.5 x 18 30 to 45
10 x 18 30 to 45

They don't say the bolt pattern, but say custom fittments are avail, if need be.
