FS: USED Carlsson 1/6 Wheels 17x7.5 ET30

I'm selling My old Carlsson 1/6 Wheels from my car. I don't need them anymore and they are taking up space. I listed them on ebay. I have written everything I can about them and the condition on the auction listing. Carlsson doesn;t make these anymore and they are hard to find.

You can find it here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7986374720

I started the auction at $199.99 with no reserve and no buy it now, so they will sell to the highest bidder.

Alon

Nice listing and great detail there Alon. On a side note, the ET30 offset is pretty aggressive on the W124 - it really makes the front stance look wide. Did you have rubbing problems on the front, or did you roll the fenders or install the AMG fender spacer?

I did not have rubbing issues on the front, unless I was making a very sharp turn and hit a big dip.... which would catch the fender and bend it out a bit. I did that once while I had the rims, and it didnt bend it out much at all. like maybe a fraction. It was all about speed if you were going too fast and turning 90 degrees and there was a dip it could rub.

The 30mm offset is very agressive, but it gave it a slightly wider track and looked great.

I would so keep these wheels, but I have no room to store them, and I had planned on getting them refinished and buying another set of tires and then playing musical rims on my car, but I could use the money and put it to better use.

I only just installed the AMG spacers when I got my hammer wheels and have yet to roll the front fenders.

These Carlsson's are my favorite wheels for a W124.

If I still had my E320, I'd buy these rims.
