Those are Lorinsers, I had them and got rid. Currently have some AMG IV splits, which you need.

I drive a Saxo so am a certified 'tard, but I quite like the wheels

Lovely car. Seriously awful wheels though.

Gap is really opening though with the price, its the right one when you consider the ~50-80% difference in price between that and an equivalent '55

I'm heading down this afternoon for the week... got phones on O2, Voda & Orange, and all get absolutely no signal at all in the village

. Ten mile drive just to get a basic voice signal, let alone data!

DM · 10 Apr 2011 at 13:20

Fett, are those Lorinsers worth anything? I mean am i likely to find someone wants to do a swap for standard ones?

Will Gill, you missed an epic night once i stopped acting the goat on here

I guess, but then if you have the cash, it's worth it. Not sure how much you'd lose over a summer...not much I would have thought.

Not sure, mine came with them from a MB dealer and I found a crack in them, so they ordered in some IV's for me. I think they really suit the car and are beautifully finished whereas I never thought the finish on the Lorinsers justified themselves sitting on a SL, plus it's a bit "I can't have an SLR, so i got the wheels instead".

DM · 10 Apr 2011 at 14:04

Those ones look much better, mind you what am i driving myself mad for, i wont have it long.

Yours looks a treat there

I can hear Mercedes Benz now

"No No Sir, the wheels are completely different"

"you mean you got the designer to press the "flip" button in photoshop on a set of SLR wheels"

"well .. yes"

lol.

DM · 10 Apr 2011 at 16:35

They got a bit of the computer fan look about them aint they.

Joshy · 10 Apr 2011 at 16:37

Stop obsessing over wheels and enjoy your purchase!

antijoke · 10 Apr 2011 at 17:00

Love it, apart from the wheels, I think they look wrong on anything other than the SLR.

look carefully at the SLR wheels

The wheels on the SL have the blades facing the opposite direction, and the centre of the wheel is concave where the SLR wheel centre is convex

Its like somebody just flipped the design in photoshop

DM · 11 Apr 2011 at 09:56

Well its arrived and these wheels do look a bit snide, my daughter and her mate have condemned it as a mid life crisis pimp mobile as they were leaving

Spamalot · 11 Apr 2011 at 10:01

Are the wheels on it atm from factory?

DM · 11 Apr 2011 at 10:04

No idea, but sadly they are on it now, anyway minor problem, im off to buy 6 months tax and then give it a go, sun seems to have gone away too i notice, been blazing all weekend, im cursed im sure of it.

if your curse is plenty of money but when you buy a convertible it goes grey, ill swap you with my curse of no money and still grey weather
