Anyone running this set or have a pic on a 036?

There was a recent for sale with these I think. Offsets should be 30mm or so or less. More will require spacers.

Close enough?

Not quite the same...but maybe helpful.

Expressing my personal opinion here (and I've seen more than a few 036s for sale with these wheels) but I don't think they're all that good looking -- or appropriate -- for an 036. I see them a lot on BMWs and they look good on Bimmers, but I've never liked this style on MBs.

Cheers,
Gerry

Thanks Drew, that does help.

I agree with Gerry. I used to run the 19s 2PC Twin Spokes but they made the 036 look a little - let's say - mismatched. But I was wondering if that was because of the 19" size (v. 18") and the titanium color when my 036 still had the two tone cladding. Perhaps. I was curious because a friend in FL is getting new wheels and would let me have these for pretty cheap <$300 and they are perfect. My vision was to powder them black or dark grey (or even maybe 199?) for a spare set that would give my 036 a more monochromatic and aggressive look (with the now 199 lower cladding).
