Just curiosity I ask about how many wheels your car have?

I´m little bit wheel feak so here what I have now. Few I have sold because little bit storage problems.

Now:
Carlsson 1 / 12 18" 8.5 & 10"(On my car now).
MB original "gullideckel" black 8 x 16" ET 34.
Brabus monoblock III 3pc. with 199 centers 9.5" & 10" ET20 & ET26(NEW).
Rial 8-hole 8 x 18" ET35(totally refurbished).

Old ones:
AMG 3pc. 17" 8.5" & 10" ET18 & ET17(NEW).
Brabus Monoblock IV black 8.5 x 18" ET35.
Mae 8.5 x 18" with black centers.
2 series MB 8 x 16" "gullideckel" ET34.
2 series original MB 8 x 16" 8-hole ET34.

I have two sets for my E500:

Rial 8-hole 8 x 18" ET35 (need to be repainted)

AMG Monoblock II 8 x 18" (front) and 9 x 18" (rear) (need to be refurbished - curb rash)

The Rial wheels are what I have been running on the car for the last 4-5 months. For the past 4-5 years before that, I was running the Monoblock II wheels. I have a brand new, unused set of tires waiting for the Monoblock II wheels after I have them refinished.

My car came with chromed 16-inch stock wheels. I sold them a couple of years ago as I didn't like them and only used them for a few months after I purchased the car (and got the 18" Rial wheels).

Cheers,
Gerry

Now
Brabus Mono III's 9.5" x 19" ET 35 (with 5MM spacers) All around
I'm also looking for a set of light weight (under 20lbs) 18" or 19" wheels

Old Sets
Evo II's 8.25" x 17" All around
Stock 16"

I have got the same sets as KarlC but the Monoblock III´s with 10mm spacers all around

I guess I' am a one wheel guy, but I wanted an all in one wheel without any additional need for other wheels. So when time came to find a very light, forged, clean and simple wheel designs as well as being close to my location for any questions - HRE was my choice. And since I don’t drive the car in the snow, I do not have a need for any other wheels all year around.

Mine are 3pc, model 546 with a step lip - front 8.5 x 17 et27 and rear 10 x 17 et34.

Now on 19" MAE Crown Jewel

In the garage

19" dubble spook wheels original MB (for sale)
18" Carlssons
17" EVO E500 limited wheels
16" original 8-loch wheels

Looking for a nice set 20" to complete the sizes from 16" to 20"

I don't now if you call me a wheel freak

On my saab 9-5 3.0 Turbo Griffin stage 3 Nodic tuning I have 2 sets of wheels and on de 535i M 2 sets.

Actually i have four sets of wheels ,
Three are fully operational and one is kept brand new .

- 16" original 8-holes .

- 17" AMG 3pc. with centres color coded.
( F: 8.5 x 17 ET18 / R: 10 x 17 ET 17)

- 17" MB Evo 2 E500 Ltd (new).

- 18" "Neez euro six" Evo 2 ,
(F: 9 x 18 ET 26 / R: 9.5 x 18 ET 28)

So I´m not only one who likes to own few set of wheels

my wife has it with shoes, I want to change wheels so now and then.

Can we see more pics of these wheels on your car?? Any side shots?

viewtopic.php?f=22&t=266&hilit=Carlsson+1+%2F+12

There few old shots when car was facelifted.

Hi

I have 2 sets:

8,5j and 10jx19 ET20/ET27 255/35r19/285/30r19 Carlsson 1/12BE
8jx16 ET34 225/55r16 8-holers

And it seems im (almost) the only one who is not owning a set of EVO's although my car originally came with them...

I'm also looking for a set of Carlsson 1/12UL in 9,5j20 ET45 and 11j20 ET35 instead of my 19"ers they are out there, but pretty expensive!! anyone know how they will fit TECHNACALLY know there have been a beef against 20" look at 124!

few pics:
















Jack

Jack, thank for the pics. Beautiful.

I've GOT to get another 500E.

Thank you

sold your green beauty? or just another one?

I actually had an astral silver car. Sold it now because I really wanted to experience something else and I can only keep one car at a time. Maybe later in life when I have the space I'll pick one up.

Now brabus wheels. Are much lighter than Carlssons.

I think I'm in love ...

The tires look a bit small, what size are they front & rear? Also what is the wheel width?

Those III's look great, though!

245/40 front, 255/40 rear. 255 front and rear would be a better combination.
Brabus TüV rcommends 245/40 front and 275/35 or 285/35 rear.
Narrower tires are better to drive.

Looking to buy these, dont have Lorinsers yet

What do you think?

I don't think they're very flattering on an E500E. They are mainly for older cars like the early 124s and the 126 cars (such as the 560SEC).

That's my opinion though.

Cheers,
Gerry

The 19 inch dubble spook wheels are sold to a S-Classe owner.

We are looking to upgrade my car to a 6.0 liter engine this week so i am looking for 17" or 18" more pieces AMG wheel that came on the E60 AMG

Cool!

Michel, are you going to drop an AMG 6.0 engine in or bore out your 500 engine?

No we are not gonna drop in a 6.0 engine. Its to technical for me te explane my technision nows what he is doing i hope. We have a extra engine in case i fails

Keep us updated with your project

Will do that this week de bore and stroke wil be done.

My car had AMG replicas painted in black when I bought it. I gave them back to the previous owner. Now it has the factory original 8 holes repainted. I also had a set of 17" Monoblocks also freshly painted/polished.

I really like that look (the painted sl wheels). It may just be the light but the wheels seem to match the cladding. I have often wondered what that would look like.
Thanks for showing us.

Drew

Yes, I think they matched the cladding. I don't know which pait he used. I should have asked him.

Thanks.

Yes! that looks fantastic. I'm going to save that pic if you don't mind. That's one of the nicest i've seen, and there are some very nice ones on this forum.

drew

Anyone intrested in my MAE wheels, after the rebuild to 6.0L i want the original 17 inch AMG wheels that came on a E60.

Of course you can save it. Thanks!

Hello.

Have you done any weight check on your 18" Neez Euro Six? I wonder what they could be compared to for example the 18" AMG mono II. And how is the finish on them compared to the original EVO II?

_______________
My wheels list is:
16" 8-hole (OEM)
17" AMG 3-piece (OEM)
18" AMG mono II (OEM)
18" MAE 3-piece (OEM)
(19" Brabus Mono III or 3-piece on the wish list )

Hi Arnt , for the weight the spec are : 9,96kg F / 10,06kg R.

They are lighter than the 17" evo , don't know the weight of the
18" aero II , but i'm sure the AMG are much heavier .

The finish is pretty much the same as the 17" evo B66470084 , but the polished part on the Neez shine/ pops a little more , they look very well made , even better than the 17" .

Great, Patrice.

I'm looking for alternatives to my Limited, where I should go the original way and put on 17" EVO II. But 18" wheels looks so good on the E500/500E and even bigger wheels too, but the performance and comfort are sacrificed a bit with 19"-20". The 18" Neez Euro Six having the same style as EVO II could be very nice on the Limited. The weight is important - you know with light shoes you run faster.
