18" "Carlsson Alloys" Thoughts?

[Mobb]

Okay, so i know there fakes, replicas or whatever you want to call them.

I Have asked him to email me pictures, which he did and the writing on the wheels that should read " Carlsson followed by CP 1 / 16 " Actually reads Callsica followed by CP 1 / 16


Link > carlsson alloys and tyres VW Audi Mercedes 5 x 112 18" on eBay (end time 28-Jan-11 16:38:15 GMT)

So my questions are;

Does anyone know anything about these replicas? (Callsica's)

Will they fit my W208 55 AMG?

And do you think they are worth the money?

What are your opinions guys?



Oh and i hope i posted this in the right section?

Not a staggered set up and would look wrong on a W208 55 IMHO

Personally i'd report him to Ebay.

Someone is going to get badly caught out there and part with a lot of money , nowhere does it say that they are reps ...

Throughout the whole advert they are referred to as Carlsson.

Completely agree.

Just wish i could find a more affordable set, just cant warrant 1500+ on a set of wheels..

There is a member on here with a set of 18 inch AMG copies for sale for sensible money i think.

You can buy decent Carlsson reps for about £400 in staggered set up, less if you want 8.5j all round. Nothing wrong with the right ones same weight as the originals which is usually the main problem with reps just google it. If you go this route and are struggling give me a shout might be able to give you some pointers.

Yeah id love a set of 1 / 16 Reps.. with the staggered setup and 8.5 all round or 8.5 front and 9 - 9.5 on the back?

Id also love a set of these if i couldn't get the carlsson's > http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/classifieds-wanted/96401-19-amg-wheels-r230.html

The thread doesn't directly relate to the wheels but if you scroll down you can see another member offering his set of brabus wheels.

Could you not subsitute something like these?

Borbet Light Alloy Wheels. United Kingdom. Borbet.co.uk, Quality Alloy Wheels Made in Germany. Borbet UK Alloy Wheels.

They're available from Motorworld

Not staggered set up though

No website for obvious reasons

But you might want to look HERE and look a little deeper than Mercedes If you know what I mean, best giving him a call though and telling him what you want.

Thank you for that info, you have helped me massively, even though i shouldnt be buying another set of rims :/

 

[gunning]

also do u think 19s look better over all? As ive just fitted 18s and think they look too small

Depends what on? on C class and CLK 19" kill the ride and tramline all over the place 19's just aren't right on those cars IMHO.

I put on staggered 18's and lowered the suspension which I felt was a better compromise

 

[gunning]

im on lowered suspension, but you know Ginas C230K the black one, what size were her carlsson reps?

Also Flanaia1 PM on the way to you.

I think Ginas were 18's but I'm sure she or someone else will confirm
