Lorinser D93 Wheels

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking for a while on VIP and thought I'd ask the experts for their opinion :biggthumpup: I potentially might pick up a set of wheels this weekend. I own a W210, basically stock with a few upgrades like Euro lenses. This would be my first wheel purchase for this vehicle and I want to do things right the first time. I found a set of 19" Lorinser D93 wheels on my local Washington DC Craigslist for $600.00. The price seems very reasonable but after further investigation it doesn't seem that Lorinser makes these wheels anymore. I'm always a little hesitant to buy used products in the first place, so I'm getting a red flag. The tires are in good shape but are 255/40/19's....that's a little tall and wide for my taste. I might run on them for a while until I can find a nice deal on 19" tires to stretch. What truly worries me is that Lorinser doesn't make these wheels anymore so if somethings happens to one of them, the set is toast. They replaced the D93 with the RS1's. So what do you guys think? The look and finish of these wheels are really nice.

I think you should keep searching. You might actually find something better.

Those wheels are really old. If you do decide to get them, make sure to ask for the accompanying lorinser spacers, because the original offset is very very high and might hit your brakes.

I decided to take your guys advice and pass on them. It's a good deal for the price, but they're really old. The 19" D93 offset was originally created for the S class models and I would need the correct spacers just as Jtanoyo1 stated. My correct offset is 35+. Lorinser does make some really nice wheels though. I'm going to keep searching for a set that matches my style. Thanks guys :)
