Re: Srt6 / Slr
more pictures...
as for why my car isnt lowered? cause it doesnt make me faster in a straight line
actually im sure it would but i just didnt bother with this car. all my other cars are lowered with adjustable suspensions and i just wanted to keep this one rolling around mercedes smooth. i very well may throw a set of coilovers on it but it hasnt happened yet, michigan pot holes have me scared, lol.

The price on them seemed too good to be true for a quality wheel, but if you give them the OK they'll most likely happen.

Re: Srt6 / Slr
Rob,
I love the rims you put on.... but 1,3,4 in the first batch of alternates are VERY nice. I really want a nice 5 spoke.... at $750 I will really have to think about this now.....

#2 is a 16x8 that could be used with slicks, i forgot to get pricing on that one. it is a much prettier alternative to the early 90's 500sl rims we have been using though.

Re: Srt6 / Slr
Can't stand it any longer... People keep comparing the wheels in the first post to SLR rims, when they are CLEARLY modeled after Lorinser LM6 wheels.
SLR wheel has cuved spokes with no twist, domed center, and no bolts OR lip around the rim.
Lorinser wheels are relatively straight-spoked wheels with a twist to each spoke, meeting up to a lip with bolts and a recessed center.
While they are similar, they certainly aren't close enough to be constantly confused. Yet, they always are LOL.
Doesn't take away from the fact that it's a gorgeous rim... one I'm even considering.
But, the brand mixup is killin me...
Even powerwheelspro lists them as SLR reps... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
