Should I keep these SLK55 wheels on?? NEED ADVICE

[OCKlasse]

So since my dad now has Asantis on his SLK55, I now have an oppurtunity to keep these on my car. I tried them on to see how they looked...tell me what you think! If you need to see what was on before, go check member profiles, I am on the first page. :o

DUDE!!.. KEEP THEM!
I wanted to see what these looked like on a 202.. figured they would look good.. but damn man.. they look frigin sweet!
nice drop too.. what setup you running?

[The LO C]

They look good, but you need exhaust now. Maybe an air-foil style wing?

[zzDragonzz]

holy amazing wheels batman!

keep 'em

you've made me want em for mine now!

Those are AWESOME!!! I am goin to get some similar looking wheels soon. Thanks for showing us how then look.

[GPReyes]

I used to have similar looking wheels from carlsson...very nice...I changed to the mono looking lorinsers cause I wanted a more elegant look...

your wheels have that kick ass DTM style...might look even better if you got an aggressive kit like rieger...so it's even more dtm...

keep em

haha thanks...I was totally thinking the same exact thing with the DTM style...

Would look best with a C36 kit. Your car is too plain jane to rock em.

took the words right out of my mouth.....as much as i love the rimms and the ride height...ur car is just too plain to rock those wheels....;)

[MirageHatch]

i think plain is the wrong word...that brings negative connotations, and that is certainly not what this car is about!

still a clean car & nice looking wheels... i say keep them

[MirageHatch]

fair call NJ it all comes down to personal taste and opinion, I searched high and low to find a c-class in this colour, its the only colour i wanted! I personally think silver wheels with polished lip work the best with this colour, however both the chrome monos OCKlasse had on and these ones I think show how varied and suitable diff. rims can look on this colour..

thanks for such kinds words, Mirage! Well...I want to keep them. I am going to also be doing a Remus soon, so hopefully this will make it fit the image at the least a little better. We'll see what else I plan on doing. I'll keep you posted...:bunny:

[Denlasoul]

Dont get me wrong, I like the wheels and the car. IMHO the car needs to rock a more aggressive look for those wheels.

I dont think they would look good on my car as well, and my car is plain jane. ;)

[jnolte]

kneeeed liiiippppp!!

[trymonlam]

sorry, wrong thread.

[GPReyes]

c36 kit is not dtm enough...try rieger or lumma...

Reiger front and rear, yes. Sides nope.

Lumma!?!? Too rounded to fit those wheels.

I would think a boxy kit like the C36 fits the wheel style best. Maybe even Reiger front/rear with 36 sides.

Make up your mind and post more pictures!!! :D DEFINITELY KEEP THEM, if you dont keep those rim it would be the dumbest thing to do. Dude you must be able to see it. It looks very nice. Better than chrome monoblocks... wayyy better.
