I was browsing on a 500E website the other day (Google Search 500E) and I happened across a Carlsson modified 500E. I noticed a set of wheels on that car that look really nice and are unique. The wheels look like they are made by BBS but I'm not certain. Does anyone know exactly what they are and their size?

Any help would be appreciated.

if your talking abt the carlsson wheels that look close to BBS but alittle more spoky...they don't make that in the us...go check out wheelexperts.com you'll see them there....I wanted those too..but they don't offer it in the US for some reason..ask Peter at wheelexperts.com

Dean,

Here is a link to the site where I saw them. You'll have to enter the web site and page down a bit and you'll see the modified performance section on the left. Click on the red hot headers and page down to the Carlsson E500.

Extreme E500,

WHEN IS YOUR CAR GOING TO BE FINISHED!

Thought you would appreciate hearing that question again.

Thanks for the info, I'll check out their website! Why didn't you buy them if wheelexperts can get them? Do you have any idea what the price is and what size they are?

Thanks again guys.

I didn't get them because wheelexpert couldn't get them..because for some reason they're not on the market yet..and might not be...ask Peter he'll give you a better explanation....

Those wheels are no longer in production, you may be able to find some used. However Carlsson had started porduction on a new multi spoked wheel that looks simlar.
BTW Carlsson wheels are produced by OZ.
If you like the multi spoke look check out the new AMG wheels from the SL55, the tirerack now caries them.
