Bekkers

I have been trying to find the perfect wheel for my 300E 2.8 for toooooo long and finally settled for the SLK Replicas For SLK C/E/CLK Class 7.5X17et35 going for 160$.What do you guys think are these wheels gona rub or fit mine car. It is a 124 1993 300E model 2.8 lowered with the eibach pro-kit.
Im planning to put 215x17x45 or can i go wider. I have looked around and just dont want to dish out close to $3.000 for the wheels plus tires. I found at bekkers.com a replica and would just like to know if anyone has ever used these before or have any knowledge as to thier quality? if so do they have as much lip as the originals do? do they weigh much more? and if you can add anymore information on these i would greatly appreciate it. It's just been so hard for me to find the wheel I want and when i finaly find it, it was way too expensive. so no biggie I will settle. plus the SLK replicas look phat enough for the price.
thanks in advance.
i've attached a picture i got from bekkers and as you can see they look identical and did anybody put that kind of wheels on theyre 124.s
or can somebody post some pics with these wheels on a 124 model

and two more quest. what do you get with the wheels .....bolt ,valves or natin and did anybody from y guys had any trouble with bekkers ....


Ahmo

I hear Bekkers is a respectable company. The SLK wheels are not my favorite style for your car. My friend bent a 17" SLK rim and I remember it was very cheap to buy new from the dealer.

You can go to this website:
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.do

and then click on "Interactive Wheel System" and then you can see what different style wheels look like on your car.

Here are some of the ones I like:
EVO


BRABUS


CARLSSON


AMG


Don't forget to look on www.ebay.de. You can find original brands for good prices.

I have had great experience with Bekkers, excellent customer service, and very knowledgable.

I like the SLK wheels by the way, look nice on a w124. The monoblock replicas are nice as well.
