When they were on the Volvo back in 2004-2006





So five years later I wanted them back, saw them on craigslist and now they are under the house with the rest of the players on the bench. They were actually still in pretty good condition and probably the only set of 18" W140 S-Class wheels in the northwest.

These along with the far more common AMG Monoblocks were the wheels that inspired many of the VIP Japanese wheels, Carlsson, Lorinser, MAE and more when they were introduced back in the 1990s. US cars never got them, so I had to import them in from the fatherland.

I want a set for the coupe so bad

pfft, that was when lowering springs alone would suffice.

Ahh Mama's got Monoblocks on her C43 AMG. These are the sexiest Benz style IMO

Wow! Haven't seen those wheels in a while Jeremy. Still a good looking wheel, classic! Nice you were reunited and the rims were in good shape! You ran adapters with a Benz patter on the 855 when you had these on right?

Yes, but I don't have the adapters anymore.

The hardware to mount them and be hubcentric is in stock. Was debating on putting them on the roach last night, but didn't. Should I?

Is that a serious question Jeremy?

Jim thinks they will look bad. I think they'll be hot. Guess I need to find out.
