Default Carlsson Wheels

Does anyone have a set on their ride. What are they like and so forth, any pics.

I am planning to buy the 1/6 evo 19x8.5 with 245/35/19 all the way round.


Let me know if anyone has some insight on these rims..

thanx

I had a set of 18x8 1/6s on a C280 benz I previously owned. IMO the 1/6 evo is a much more beautiful rim. Carlsson is known for MB tuning and IMO has a good reputation for quality. Nice wheel.

FYI the tire rack has 'em for $259.00 each. IMO that's a killer deal for 19x8.5.

1 last shot. If my assumption on the GS is incorrect, I'm sorry. I have pics of these wheels on other vehicles as well. Let me know.

Great looking wheel and they make then Japanese bolt patterns and offsets...Carlsson Japan is really starting to open up to non-Mercedes tuning...I have a picture (it's an official ad) of a Carlsson Cima (our Q45...the older one though) with their wheels...the Q has a body kit but I think it's a AutoCouture kit...

But I dunno if I'd do that wheel on a Lexus...it's too...Mercedes... It'll probably bring down the reliability of your Lexus...heheheheh...

I like them too. Another Blue gs has them. Very nice rim imo. Compliments the GS quite nicely.

Carlssons are nice quality wheels I would recommand getting a 5th one as a spare, incase you bent one. The Evo's in 19 might be getting discontinued soon, I remember Tirerack also had a big sale on the 18x8.5 before they stop selling it.

The 1/6 never came in 20". The only rim that comes in 20" is the original 2/6 and 2/5. Both have been discontinued and replaced by "Brilliant edition".

Just stopping by to say "hi".

Can you do better on pricing than tire rack? What about the chrome 1/6?

Wait, these 19x8.5 Carlsson wheels are only $259 each?!?? I can't get any prices for Carlsson wheels on TireRack! Also, do Carlsson wheels all come with the MBenz center cap? That would seem cheesy to me, especially on a Lex. Is $259 for silver or chrome? Hopefully the chrome wouldn't cost too much more. That GS looks beautiful with those wheels!

Default 1/6 evo

the bolt pattern is discontinued, I talk with vera at tirerack, and she told me that carlsson, will not be making a lexus bolt pattern for the wheel, it will however continue to made but with a MB bolt patterns. With this said i did verify that carlsson will custom make them for lexus upon demand, so that if you wreck a rim, you are not screwed.
the 259 price is for silver, with polished lip.
