mind u, no company ever has created better looking rims than these...i love em. except may be the M6 rims, also every one of those twenty-twos..., the cgt has nice rims too, welllll, so does, the F430....

Amit I've seen same rims on a C-class in Noida too. There's a pic of them posted in one of the early meet threads. Also forgot to mention they are fake's & not geuine McMerc rims.

Slr Rims Looks Good..
Are those aftermarket rims ?

amitverma · 23rd December 2006, 01:32

it did have the merc logo. and they did look authentic. but i really dnt think mercedes sells these rims. they are exclusive for SLR.

i saw this very same car yesterday in Maurya...looked hot!

That car's got a lot of add-ons, like the quad exhausts, W220 (2003-2005/6) rear lights and the turbine wheels. The wheels are obviously not genuine McLaren-Mercedes...cuz I'm pretty sure the dude wouldn't be paying over-the-top, crazy money, for bespoke SLR wheels on his E. Hehe.

However, they could be expensive Lorinsers or some cheap Chinese remake...

chrome mirrors, chrome door handles. too much chrome.

mclarenracer · 23rd December 2006, 08:18

slr rear wheel size is 305/45/20 if i remember correctly i don't think they can fit on this car.

aniguchisan · 23rd December 2006, 08:25

Chrome mirrors too?

....Jesus no.

then you put these wheels which look ugly on this car, its meant for the SLR and thats it, even SL doesnt look as good with it..

naah...

They are not original Merc rims. The originals only came in Mercedes McLaren SLR. These are the copies.

The rims are not from the Mclaren Mercedes. They are the Lorinser LM6 design.
