Porsche Turbo Twists on a W124

[AMGwheelwhore]

I have always loved Porsche Twists and I picked up this set for a steal so I figured why not be the first to attempt to fit them on a Mercedes. It pokes and rubs like crazy but it looks damn good. Might flip the adapters around to make it more flush later on and in crucial need of a fender roll... but for now Im happy with it. Let me know what you all think. - Colin


Specs:
18x8 ET50, 20mm Adaptec adapter, 215/40/18 Nankang NS-II tires
18x11 ET48 25mm Adaptec adapter, 225/40/18 Nakang NS-II tires (Stretched to the max)

its a recipe for success, but for some reason i'm not feeling it. idk...more low?

That looks terrible. With 3" difference front and rear, you need a phat ass........ your car is more like a white suburban cheerleader

Thanks man

I think I need to flip the adapters around and put the 25's up front and the 20's in the rear. I need a crucial roll/pull before it goes lower, rubs on the smallest of bumps

Haha it pokes extremely hard, I plan on flipping the adapters around and having the rear quarters pulled to match the front fenders. It's a start quit busting my balls Hans haha more progress will come but need more money first

Just lower it more. Natural camber on Mercs will take care of the rest.

not really feeling it as it sits, the back needs a bigger tire and you need to lower the rear and roll/pull the $hit out of those quaters. it really sucks that the W124 aside from the 500E has flat quarterpanels

The chrome really kills it as well.. There is potential though.

Wish they made those in 18x10. Wow.

Im looking for a silver set I can repaint in 18x7.5/10 the 11" is a bit much

Thanks bro

Ya thats been said bro, good one though

Fenders are being rolled and pulled next week, then I will remove the pads to drop it down a bit more and allow the MB natural camber to make it all work out

^ that would help a ton and the point of my post isn't that it doesn't have potential, it's that you sunken wheels up fron and 1.5" of poke out back. If you want to keep the rears, you need to do something drastic upfront like 40 mm spacers or widen the fronts

don't like it, even properly fitted will look... well... strange, just look at the body shape and the wheel shape...
