the LM-5 looks really really nice in person. I saw some 19's in Newport Beach on a CL. Very nice.

As soon as i get my Gettins, I'll post pics of the lip. Thanks Will!

The new E class looks like a slightly bigger C class.

I don't like the Lorinsers much at all. Saw them on a CLK the other day and the offsets were WACK! The front wheel was outside the fender and the rear was tucked in.

I have the Gettin and it looks much more aggressive and I think it looks better quality as well.

Ryan...

from my limited understanding, like many german tuners, Lorinser does not make their own wheels. whereas on certain jdm brands such as rays/work/arrow zauber, they actually make their own wheels.

just a little side info, german wheel makers actually acquire the diamond cut polishing machine from japanese equipment makers..

I think Ronal makes Lorinser's wheels...well, they make Brabus wheels...they also make this beauty (under their own name) Classics!



The LM-5's are very nice though...every Japanese manufacturer has "their version" of the wheel...

No no no...get the Bears for the TRACK!

The only bad thing about the LM's is Lorinser's pricing. I mean you can buy some WAY better quality HRE wheels for the same price and that's a FORGED wheel that you can get customized (finish, offset, width, etc..)...
