Carlsson Launches 22-Inch SUV Alloy
German based specialist Carlsson has but one make of car in mind when designing a new alloy wheel, so it comes as no surprise that the company has become very good at what it does. From its headquarters in a sprawling estate once owned by an aristocratic horse breeder, the company strives to create what it calls individual cars for individualists and wheels that will create a completely new image for any Mercedes.
The newest addition to the Carlsson stable is the ‘2/11 Brilliant Edition,’ a lightweight 2-piece 22-inch wheel designed for the M and GL class 4×4 and R Class crossover “multi-activity vehicle.” Featuring an 11-spoke design and highly lustrous silver paint finish with a highly polished outer rim, the 2/11 Brilliant Edition creates a particularly energetic image when paired with low profile high-performance tyres while at the same time providing the required touch of elegance expected on a luxury vehicle. The appearance of the Carlsson wheel is distinctly different from the five-spoke variety fitted as original equipment to all three Mercedes-Benz models (and the seven-spoke factory option available on the R-Class) and offers customers an extra two inches diameter compared with the largest size factory fitted wheel.
