Mercedes new collection of wheels


And the GLAs get:

GLA
5-spoke wheel, 48.3 cm (19-inch)
Surface: matt black, rim flange: red
Wheel size: 8 J x 19 ET 43.5
Article number A15640104009Y22

I think that I like them. I am a little undecided about the red rims on them, but I think that they would grow on me.

What do you guys think?

Those wheel are horrible, do not complement the GLA at all. I rather dump money into a set of aftermarket wheels I can use daily. Come to think about it Vossens would make the list.

 

[Truthiness]

Do these come as an option on the GLA, and do you have to pay extra for them? I wouldn't pay anything extra for them.

 

[nightscar]

They look like the 19" optional wheels already available but in matte black with a red ring so I would assume they would cost extra.

Does make them sound nearly so fun when they are described as simply "the 19" optional wheels already available but in matte black with a red ring."

Then it just seems like a quick paint job to make some extra money.

Even the design of those spokes throw me off.

A set of these Vossen CV1's will do the GLA well:

 

[Truthiness]

Can't tell if I like those VOssens on the GLA or not. They just look slightly out of place. I think the car might suit less and larger spokes.

 

[nightscar]

I think it works, somewhat similar to the optional 20" AMG wheels and I think that looks great.

 

[Sweet Tooth]

Those are very similar to the AMG wheels. Almost identical. I'd kind of want to get rims that are different from ones that MB offers if I am going to go after market. I guess there are only so many ways to design some rims though.

I tried to crank up the exposure and sharpness a bit so you could see my wheels. These have been a great set of wheels, and are regularly mistaken for OEM, which I like. I also prefer No-lip, big-face designs for such contemporary styling the GLA has. I think wheels with a 'lip' do not belong on an SUV, and frankly, a lip designed wheel is kind of outdated anyway, much like chrome wheels.



I like that I can see my upgraded rotors better too

[AMGz]

The fact that they're mistaken for OEM wheels is indeed a great thing, it just goes to show how tasteful it looks, since Mercedes is good with that, with their design teams dedicated to such tasks. There's a level of expectation with MB's and clearly what you've done complements your GLA. Well done

Best rim for me. Brabus R 21"
