Good.

Got your attention!

This thread is very simple, straight to the point.

Is this 107 HOT or NOT?

Rules are as follows. (strictly abide please)

Post a picture of a 107. Yours, your mate's, one you see in the street - it doesn't matter.

Pics MUST include either a side shot (90º) or a shot at approx 45º from the front or rear - TO SHOW OFF THE WHEELS.

Obviously the better the picture, the better the chance of being voted HOT and less chance of being voted not.

This thread is about showing off your wheels, and your car. Mostly the Wheels.

Standard wheels are fine - aftermarket - fine, there are no rules about what's allowed and what's not - so long as the pic doesn't violate the forums NSFW policy (shame that, naked women look great on 107's) but I digress..

Show us your Pics!

Hot or Not

96 SL600 wheels in Chrome or 2001 SL500 AMG wheels. None of these are my choice in wheels but they were both sort of kind of free. The AMG wheels took me some getting used to but they now seem to fit the car.

Hot another wheel on my Hot list. They made them in 10" with 0 offset for the rear of the 107.
Made for 107? Bbs rs058 10x16 et11 (not et0). That's the same face part as the bbs rs009 (008, 011, 023, 077, and maybe others) but with a 6.5" barrel (instead of 5.5) and a 3" lip (instead of a 2").

Since I think pics are required, and we are waiting for some brutal "NOT"...

Yes I just double checked the Et is 11. Also there is a 13" wide 107 wheel ET -58. Have no idea it that requires tubbing

That's for the widebody conversions like a konig. A high positive offset would be required to fit under the stock fenders in that width, and at 15" would probably hit the suspension parts too. No doubt for a widebody.

Ever thought about making your v12 a widebody? :)

I gotta say this chrome r129 wheels? Definite "NOT". :) I've mounted quite a few "not"s myself.

You are picking on ScottinSoCal's SL and he is not here to defend himself.

Even though even he did not like those wheels and went back to Bundts.
