Really liking this... although a lot of you probably won't

[Haris]

Really don't like new shape Mercs, but this is one of the very few I do like. Thought i'd share some pics, even though I'm guessing most of you won't like it.

Fitment is absolutely spot on

 

[MercFanUk]

Not a fan of split rims, but the overall look is pretty darned mean

 

[renault12ts]

The car looks good, because except for the wheels it is a very clean standard car.

 

[EDZ649]

Looks great, as long as you keep driving in a straight line it should be fine, mind you the tyres rubbing on the front arches when you steer should keep the rust at bay

Not a fan of the stretched euro look on the tyres or the practicality, too easy to damage the rims....

 

[bpsorrel]

Actually, I do like it! Very cool looking car, not blinged up, just nice!

 

[bpsorrel]

Looking at those wheels, I wonder if that fitment would be an MOT failure here? Apparently mine is just a couple of mm from being one and it's nowhere near as tight as that!

You don't like split rims, seriously?

What's wrong with the wheels, nice subtle split rims which suit the car's lines quite nicely

the usual uneducated hate against euro scene, this car is on air so probably more practical than you're car if anything.

you're only reason for hating stretched tyres is that you'll damage your rims far easier learn not to drive into a kerb then, it's not hard if you know how to park properly

Wouldn't be an MOT failure as the car is on air.



Glad some people aren't narrow minded and can appreciate the car

My thoughts exactly - cheers!

One good reason to dislike split rims apart from their prissyness and pseudo racer pretensions. They will always be heavier than a one piece wheel. Jointed components are always heavier, then throw in a bag of bolts at the periphery where they hurt the rotational inertia.

Nice

so a set of BBS RS' wouldn't be lighter than a monoblock wheel in the same dimensions, I'm sorry but you couldn't be more wrong.

I saw this car on another forum.It's had arches widened and a few other bits also.
I never really noticed Cls until I got my E class,now I drool every time I see one.

The car looks quite nice, but the wheels do nothing for me personally

They look a little cheap/tacky, very rare that an aftermarket rim looks better than an upgraded Mercedes-Benz or AMG wheel IMHO.

Raise it up a few mm (even on air, I don't care) - and fit some 18/19" AMG wheels and I reckon it'd look much better

Looks good I reckon, not overly 'pimped' but a bit different.

fair enough appreciate your opinion, but I'd like to see a set of 18/19" AMG wheels which will fill the arches like these wheels do. You'll soon find that there aren't any

[renault12ts]

Listen, I don't want an argument...I like the car and the wheels. The reason I like the whole thing is because only the wheels have been modded.

Where do you get off being so aggressive?

Have you weighed them?

You do know, btw, that steel wheels are lighter again.

It's the wheel tyre combo that fills the arches, not the wheels. So, no matter what diameter wheels you have on, the overall diameter will be the same in all cases...if it isn't then you will change the gearing etc.

What makes you an expert?

If your going to be damn rude then don't post up stupid comments like 'I'm guessing most of you won't like it'

If you didn't want our opinions then don't ask. Grow up!

Any for your information my friend I have been driving for over twenty five years, I know how to park!
