Default Davin or L-Sportline Rims

OK here is the situation. I was gonna get the L-Spotline Model l Evo in 20's. Today I met this guy in the city that has the Davin rims that he is selling for $7k with tires. Do you guys think I should get them or just get the L-Sportline rims? I think that the L-Sportline rims looks alot cleaner on a GS, but not alot of people will have the Davin rims. What do you guys think??

Do you mean Davin rims, the ones that keep spinning after you stop?

I'd pick LSportline but after having their bodykit, I'd not trust them that much for the quality.

The kit don't fit good.

I'd say the L-Sportline Model I Evo in 20's look much better than the Davin rims.

Default davins

man please get the davins. the sportlines are nice and all but nothing gets the attention that the davins get..... they are so far in the game. i am assuming you are wanting something that is going to look good on the car. if you dont get them, let me know who the seller is and i will. they're going for $2750 a piece w/out tires down here.

Thanks for the replies guys.
DR.Rick if I don't get those Davin rims then I wil try and hook you up.

RacingAristo now you are making me sceptical about the L-Sportline rims lol. But its always good to know these things before I buy. Thanks.

Before I got any LSportline parts, they were used to be my favorite kit. Now I have their front grill and roof spoiler from two different shops, I can say their quality isn't the top notch.

L-sportline wheels are excellent quality
they are made by lowenhart i believe

I have them on my car and here is what they look like

L-Sportline on my GS


Those Davin wheels look stupid on a GS
they only look good on a benz IMO

my 2cents

Either way you go you are getting a good quality wheel.. My vote would be to go with the Davin's since I haven't seen them on a GS as of yet.. I've seen the Davin's on a SC430 and they look stunning.. Kind of gimicky but I think its pretty cool even thou some have said they are kinda "Getto" or "Rapperske".. At least you'd be different and at a much cheaper price than what I was quoted..

For reference I was quoted for fully high polished $2,950 USD per wheel with no rubber.. Hope that helps with your decision!
