I just had to post these pics ......I was just telling JimmyL about these wheels I spotted in the most unusual location. Well, not really, because they ARE on a car.

I was going about 78MPH when I saw them....it then took me about 3 more seconds before I decided to look closer. Of course, I forgot to check the fuel filler lid to see if this was a diesel or not.

Comments anyone?




Do you see the traffic in the background?



Do you notice the green tag?


Coda is in the background....and waiting patiently.
3 of those look like cheap "Prime" wheels, and the other is a Lorinser.

I thought they were all the same.......I keep telling you all that I'm not a "wheel man". I don't care what kind of "shoes" an MB gal has on.....as long as the rest of her looks nice.

You see really nice sets on the European Ebay go for $1,000+. I paid $300 for one set, and a bit more for the other if you count shipping.

Jimmy did notice something on the back of my other set that I never noticed, though. On the inside of the wheel its branded Ronal, but the outside still has the AMG stamp. I guess they're knock offs, but since I paid so little for them, I'm not concerned.

If it has an AMG stamp on the face, it's not a knockoff. Ronal made wheels for AMG.

Well then, I guess they're authentic after all.

Ronal makes good wheels also. They would be just as acceptable as Pentas.
Until then, hubbies still rule!!!
