Looking at these, but with brushed aluminum face rather than the chrome. I'll stay with the black center 2 spokes as well as black rivets.

Opinions?

you want something light weight and strong at the same time, how much does these wheels weigh, i remember putting lorinser wheels on my e class, and they slowed down the car drastically. Not a good thing.

Well, they're 3pc forged, so I would guess they're not boat anchors. I think I'm gonna pass on these though. The priced has been worked down for me, greatly, but I feel like I'm settling.

Back to the drawing board....


These in matte black centers with polished lip and chrome fasteners. Or, just as pictured with brushed centers and polished lip.

Derrick and I have already spoken. Actually, his was the first number I dialed, as always. And I urge everyone reading this to look to D2 Autosport first, when making a decision on wheels. Their knowledge and expertise never ceases to amaze me, and the customer service is top notch. I'm a previous customer that has nothing but good things to say about them.

But, FEAR is right. The D2 line is just a bit more than I want to spend this time out. I took it hard when I sold my VIP Modulars, and my wife took notice. This time out, I had to be a bit more conscience of the bottom line if I wanted to stay married. I do.

But, the deal has been made.

It ended being none of the above. I'm taking a design and doing just a touch of custom coloring. Should have them within 2 weeks as they were an in stock set. And I got a great deal because they were just sitting. Just need to add my personal touches and assemble. Details to come....
