If money wasn't a problem...what rims would you buy?
 

Like the title says if money wasn't an issue which rims would you pick?

Post pics please:)

Fikse Profil 13s, Full Bling Bling Polish, 10 x 18 all around, 50-mm offset, with 285/30-18 Pirelli P-Zero Asimmetrics @ each corner.

I'd convert to center-locking hubs (and have custom rotor hats machined to accept Porsche 911 Turbo ceramic composite rotors), and have a custom set of center-lock, magnesium BBS or Speedline wheels made in 18x9.5" front, 18x10.5" rear, in carbon-polish finish, and a have a lock nut wrench machined out of titanium for me like the one the McLaren F1 comes with.

That's easy.

I'd go with HRE 540R's all the way around. 10's in the back and 8.5's in the front. Powdercoated black with a polished lip all done by HRE. If I only had 6G's.

Mazdaspeed MS magnesiums. Phat.

Fikse Mach V Front: 8.5" Rear: 10"

volk racing TE-37 in silver 17x7 with 40mm in the front and 17x8 with 45mm in the rear with pirelli tires on them, but i dont have the money :D

TE-37s in bronze! or Gramlight 57pros

The Ab-Flug rims jpandes has.

Da bears. Definitely da bears. :)

Reminds me of China's panda bear they sent to the Mexico City Zoo to impregnate 3 female bears, the bears all had to be artificially inseminated, China's bear was GAY! : ) LOL

Thank you apneablue, that's what I have, except rears are 9.5". :)

FO SHO! BBS LM, 17x10 all the way around...with S02's..yeah.

Yep. They're a performance rim, too... the 14x6 weighs 18 lbs. :)

woooo...arcwelder...do you have pics???

I always wanted to see what the Mach V looked like on a FD....

I'd go with the Mazdaspeed MS01 Mags, here's a link to a pic:http://www.poweraxel.com/mazdaspeed/...ws98/ms93.html

All I have right now is this photo. (If it attaches) I'll try to get something better and post back.

I think 545R would best look on CYM. Classic 5 spokes design with deep dish... I can't wait to save up that 5g...Anyone got actual pics of 545R on Cym?

arcwelder...

woooooooooooooooo that's nice....

please post some more pics!

RE

Very nice, but...

19 x 8.5 - $1,643 ea.
19 x 10 - $1,763 ea.

Total: $6,812 :eek:

18's bronze SE37A's for my VR FD. Actually, I almost have enough for them but I'm wondering if I should keep saving for the enevitable zoom zoom boom!

... assuming they aren't made out of lead (read: too heavy)

HRE's all the way.18x10

Or Racing Hart CP-035R 18x10

I'm gonna have to say HRE's too.

I love the 800 series...smooth lip...none of that classic 3-piece bolt look crap. I hate that

EACH??? OMG........Wheels actually worth as much as the car.

Is nothing sacred?:D

1. BBS RG-R
2. Volk GT-7 (gunmetal center, polished lip)
3. Fikse FM/10

not terribly expensive, only in the ~$2K/set range (not ~$2K/wheel like Jimlab's!)

MMmMMmmm advan ::drool::

kinda pricey...but ill either be rockin these or avdan rg's

those are bad ass

I dunno Jim, i've never priced it, but i'll bet you could do my pie-in-the-sky center-lock setup (third post or so) for not much more than this... not including the Porsche ceramic-composite rotors of course, as those are likely 6k all by themselves.

If money was not an issue, then I would take the stock rims on the Farrari 360 Modena. Of course the car would come with it.

But since money is an issue, I had these rims put on- as a matter of fact , I had then put on just a few hours ago! http://home.pacbell.net/sedchew/borbet_fd.jpg

blitz technospeed 18x11 rear and 18x9 fronts. with some bad ass tires, h&r wheel spacers and a set of fender flares.

I fyou're not making at least 450 to the ground, 11's won't do you any good.:)

HAHAHAHA..."how many heart attacks is dat' for ya der' Bob?"

"ahhh, abouta bakers dozennn"

Polish sausage. Ditka. Da bears. Bearsss. Bearss. Polish sausage. :)

There are a few options I'm thinkin about, but the 19" Brabus Monoblock VI 2-Piece is what I'm leanin' towards. Clean and classy...

HRE would pretty much be my top choice, but their styles are a little too sporty for a Mercedes-Benz, IMO. Most are too thinly-spoked for a larger car, and I don't think the 546/546Rs would look too good on an SL.

I would go dub-status, but even with 19s, I'll need some very low-profile tires (P295/30-19) in the back. With 20" tires, even the most low-profile ones out there are too big in diameter compared to the factory P285/35-18. Messing with tire diameters is NOT something I want to do, especially in a Benz with so many electronics working off the tire-speed.

No Shit:D

but if money isn't a problem...then 450 shoudn't be either, now would it? :)

The Kinesis Motorsports H58s. 10x18 on all 4 corners. On my car, pic below in my .sig.

JoeD, I have deleted the outbursts. You've been warned.

Money not being an issue.... OZ Super Leggera 3's 18x8.5" in front 18x10" rears

A set of Fikse's like these would do nicely

http://www.fikse.com/raceblack.html

I'd go with some HRE 540's in 18x10 and 18x11.

Toucher, LOL!!!:D

Any more pictures guys?

Work Meister 2SR's.. =P~~

I think I'd commission Volk to make a custom set of TE-37 mags, in, mmm, 17x9.5f 17x11r. In gunmetal. With the right offset for 2.5" springs so I can run nice, wide tires (can anyone say 275 front 315 rear?) With rolled fenders, M2 trailing arms, and 2.5" springs I think that might actually fit.

mmmm Advan Sienna II's.... My FD will be rockin those soon.
