Need opinion on Rims

[girlRACER]

Okay, I'm going back to Hong Kong soon. Want to sucker my dad into buying me some rims. Here are my four choices, which ones do you like?:
1) 18" Renntech 10-spokes $6500

4) 17" AMG's $3000

[Superesc]

I would say Combo number 4 please.

[CRXguy]

EDIT: Definitely the Lorinser LM-5's!!:thumbsup:

[girlRACER]

Damn, can't get the links to show as images!!!

Anyways, I wanted the AMG ones for so long and they are the cheapest. The Renntech ones are so nice but they are so expensive. I really like the Lorinsers a lot. And the OZ's, well they are cheap and in-stock.

[Ekliptix]

I like #1, but they would look a lot better on that car is it was lowered 2".

[Dope Dealer]

I like option 4 the best. But there is a lot of empty space, I sure hope you got big brakes :thumbsup:

[three.eighteen.]

the lorinsers look killer

[Ben]

I like the number 2's but to me they almost seem to masculine... with the bolts (multi piece wheel) they come off more industrial...

[James]

since when has that stopped u? :rofl:

[girlRACER]

So Obviously #3) OZ's are out of the picture. One down, Three to go.

So far....
1) 2 votes
2) 4 votes
4) 4 votes

[mwmhong]

Yeah, you can't post the images, it shows up as links?

Anyways,

#1 Doesn't look good, way too "spokey", very flat and dull looking
#2 BEST CHOICE is really nice, aggressive looking, muscular spokes:thumbsup::thumbsup:
#3 THIN spokes, and too "spokey", like a bike, ugly:barf:
#4 2nd best choice, looks nice, but spokes look a bit too boxy and stubby.

And some of those rims are worth more than my car! LOL!

[boi-alien]

Lorinser LM-5

[GT2NV]

go with the 2's:thumbsup:

[OMOYYC]

First choice - 2
Second choice - 4

I don't like the other two whatsoever.

Where are you getting these wheels anyways? What tires do they come with? They seem awfully expensive for 18's.

[speedracer]

I don't like the choices either.

If I had to pick : 4
(Isn't that the same as what is on Kenny's Chrylser?)

[kenny]

Without question, #1 because they are the most expensive.

That I live by? nope. Which is why I took the AMG wheels (#4) off my car and got some cheaper wheels :)

[max_boost]

Lorinser LM-5 are so sweet! Go for it!

[Redlyne_mr2]

number 2.......multispoke rims don't suite that car, anything 5 spoke with a lip woudl look tight:thumbsup:

[4wheeldrift]

I personally would go with the OZs. The dark grey would look really good on the yellow car.

I'm ordering them from Tunerworks most likely. I think they're expensive because of the brand...but I dunno too much about this stuff.

Anyways...so far:
1) 3 votes
2) 10 votes
4) 6 votes

....probably looks like I'll be getting the Lorinser LM-5's. I'm surprised how many people actually like the AMG's even though they are 17's.

will the rims off of the sl500 fit..those are so nice..go price those out from your neighborhood benz dealer

[LowRiderHD2000]

I'm also a fan of #2.

[TomTom]

ill take #2) 18" Lorinser LM-5 for $5000 Alex

or #4, imo the #1 looks kinda ugly

just curious what ones do you like the best? i know you oviously like them all but there has to be one that gives you a different feeling.

[Fluidic]

18" Lorinser LM-5

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[RiceCake]

Lorinser LM-5 :thumbsup: :D

[2000impreza]

i say OZ super L's. they are very nice and light rim. my sister has a set of 17's on her car.

[OMOYYC]

Can you find out what kind of tires you are getting with it?

S-03's or Pilot Sport are good.

[DSM Power]

There's really no other choice BUT the LM-5's if you ask me! ;)
Of course, I could recommend a few other rims (Volk TE-37's anyone ?! :eek: ) but you seem to have already made up your mind. :)

BTW, here's a new and increasingly good website full of wheels, pics and specs.

#2 man!!!

[Dr. Evil]

#4

[MrX]

I don't think i'd go with the AMG just cos there's so many benz's running around with those wheels.

nope on the OZ's cos they just don't work with the SLK's styling

The Renntechs are nice nice wheels but they do cost a fortune.

The Lorinsers look hella nice on the SLK, but do remember an 18" LM5 will look more like a 17" wheel cos of the 2 or three piece design (can't tell which one it is.)

If i were to buy a set of wheels for the SLK i'd consider Carlsson wheels. I especially like the Design 1/5, 2/5, and 2/6. If you get them wide enough there will be an awesome lip on the wheels too.

Check them out at:

Carlsson Wheels (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/carlsson/carlsson.htm)

[girlRACER]

Wow thanks for all the input guys!! I think I've got my mind set on the Lorinsers :nut:
From your opinion I gather that
1) too expensive! not everybody thinks they're nice
2) nice and mid-priced
3) doesn't match my car
4) Kenny didn't want his so i don't either.

Kenny's stock AMG's are shod with R compounds =).

I really like the 2/5! :thumbsup:

The AMG wheels are really nice, I think you should get them. You have to understand that they are my stock wheels and I just wanted wheels for the summer so I can use the stock ones for winter and the track. They have the twin spoke AMG wheels in 18' now too (center hub looks slightly different) so you might want to consider those as well.

[kenny_klx]

Out of those 4 choice, I think #2 is nicer than the rest. However, there are better one...:clap:

[Stratus_Power]

number 2 plz, super size.. coke w/ that

[REdOX]

Poor you... your most expensive rim is only $6500!! hahah

18" Lorinser LM-5's for sure.... IMO the rest look like a55. But that's just my opinion and everyone is entitled to one :)

[mischief]

I say you buy some wheels from my cousins company.

iForged USA (http://www.iforged.com)

Can't be light weight forged wheels.:thumbsup:

[infamous]

i would go with the lorinsers. they make the car look so nice. then everyone would :drool: over your car.....wait, everyone except for kenny already does
