Here I have for sale a set of original carlsson 1/16 forged wheels staggered fitment + tyres (extract from carlsson at bottom of page)
These are NOT replicas! - therefore the original ultra-light weight "forged" rims (9.6kg!!) not only are they light but very very strong (if you look closely at the centre they have all the writing on them to prove they are authentic)
RRP is approx £2000 per rim! (+ postage and duty as they are hard to find in the uk) e.g:
Performance Alloys.com - alloy wheels, custom wheels, chrome wheels, alloy wheels uk, replica wheels
Performance Alloys.com - alloy wheels, custom wheels, chrome wheels, alloy wheels uk, replica wheels
and that ^ doesnt even include tyres
Both the alloys and tyres have seen approx 60 miles worth of use thus are literally brand new!
There is not a single mark/scratch/blemish on them! just a little bit of dust from storage lol
( update - i have given them a quick wash using some dodo juice super sour suds wheel shampoo and the wheels have come up gleaming! they truelly are immaculate, even the barrels have come up amazing)
They are official uk spec ones in brilliant silver - diamond cut is no good in the uk due to bad weather and lots of road salt which will ruin them instantly and leave them looking tatty (bear in mind it would take much to have these completely mirror polished which would probably be better for uk as when they go dull they can just be polished back up easily by hand)
WHEEL SPECS
They are staggered fitment with wider dish for the rears (as any proper rear wheel drive car should have)
Front - 19x8.5 + 235/35/19 kumho tyres
Rear - 19 x10 + 265/30/19 kumho tyres
This is the perfect size for all high performance mercs such as sl55 amg and cl55 amg as 18s are a bit small, 20s look too big and compromise handling and performance.
This size gives you the perfect balance of a sexy sized wheel that the car can look nice and low on, yet will perform well around corners and for aggressive speeds (after all thats what an amg spec mercedes is built for!).
The rears are also very wide and will suit most big mercs running big power (these have been trial fitted to a cl55 amg and fit many others).
The wider rears also help to achieve that "power" stance where the back of the car looks phatt lol and the front looks streamlined.
taken from carlsson:
One-piece Ultra Light forged wheels: 9.8 kg - the measure of all things
The production of high-quality forged wheels is the supreme discipline in wheel engineering.
Carlsson Ultra Light wheels are subjected to a particularly elaborate forging process during which the aluminium is compacted to such an extent that not even the smallest cavities or pores are to be found.
Despite less mass, the material is extremely strong. In comparison, normal series wheels weigh around 50 per cent more than Carlsson's 1/16 Ultra Light wheels. Weighing just 9.8 kg per wheel, they are the lightest of all Mercedes-Benz wheels and are distinguished by a set of unbeatable properties
- innovative, state-of-the-art racing technology
- extremely tough
- the lowest weight of all wheels in the Mercedes tuning sector
- greater road contact and grip
- increased cornering forces
- improved brake ventilation and efficiency
- offer outstanding handling and comfort advantages
TYRES
The choice of tyres was carefully selected by a performance centre in london to match the characteristic of the mercedes (basically to suit the fact that the mercedes has a heavy front end and a lot of power/torque running through the rear wheels
- just the bill for the tyres came to around 1k
PRICE: 2500
LOCATION: leicester le4

I had my friend take these pictures with a slr high resolution camera. I did not have time to clean the wheels after they have been put in storage and my friend has even zoomed into section in the barrels where even any dirt has been found ( of which 99.9% would wipe clean) inorder to be as honest as possible
Pictures 1 -13 are of the actual wheels
pics 1-5 have been taken using my camera phone so sorry for the poor quality of those pics, but i can assure you that they are stunning in real life!
pics 6-13 are off a digital slr camera!
the other pics are example of how the wheels could look on a car
