tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
Where does tuning actually begin, and today we should also ask ourselves “where does tuning end”? For many, tuning begins with a lowering or a loud sports exhaust and an increase in performance is for a large part the epitome of a tuned car. But what if we take the trouble and compare the question with a statistic? Then it turns out that in a good 70% of all vehicle owners who want to change the rims of the vehicle are replaced first. Even before classic chip tuning or lowering, new rims are the most popular tuning utensil of all, but at the same time often one of the most expensive subsequent changes.
The choice to change the rims is understandable in my eyes, because often the rims installed ex works are not always unsightly or even ugly, the problem is that the standard rims are selected in the manufacturer's configurator and that ultimately has thousands of other owners of a, in this case Mercedes-Benz GLE, also done. In addition, the wheel sets are trimmed in the direction of mainstream optics ex works and of course not very individual because they should ultimately please the general public. All good reasons for a new set of wheels! What could be more obvious than to look around the Forgiato Wheels repertoire to see if a suitable alternative to the wheelset installed ex works can be found? The owner of this matt red foil-wrapped GLE has shrill "the wheelset project“And the standard rims were exchanged for an abnormally large 26 inch Forgiato Wheels wheelset of the Insetto-ECL type. We already have a GLE with us in December 24 Zöllern discovered and were actually of the opinion that it could not get worse. OK, we were wrong! If you look at the selection of rims from Forgiato Wheels then it becomes clear to us why it had to be this manufacturer! Forgiato Wheels is predestined to deliver crazy and crazy designs in extreme sizes and not to lose sight of quality.
As you can see, there was something crazy for the red foiled GLE and the project could almost begin. In addition to the ECL wheelset, the Stuttgart SUV has received a few other changes that we are only aware of based on the photos, unfortunately we have not yet received any technical details. No matter the main focus of the car is of course on the huge wheel set which certainly does not miss the standard rims but would have been more suitable in the 22 inch dimension. It may also be a pure show vehicle, so we don't want to question the project any further. We took a closer look at the pictures of the GLE and made a comparison with the production version and were able to determine one or two changes to the rims.
What we got directly from Forgiato Wheels have experienced and recognized for yourself, we provide you with a summary below as usual. Should you notice any further changes, we would be happy if you post them in the "comment box", we will then add them to the post as soon as possible.
