Some rims that look great on the RLX. If I had a SH, these are the two I'd choose from...







Im really digging the Mainlines. My only concern would be:

1) just how much noise reduction are we really loosing by not having the helm-holtz resonator design in the rims.

2) any negative effects in suspension and handling (or other stock driving characteristics of the vehicle) by going with a larger wheel size. (20")

those look like they belong on a 2005 Ford Focus Hatchback

I dont follow American cars, so no idea what you're talking about.

The pictures they used in their website have the RLX sitting a little higher than it does in real-life. So their proportions are off. And both those rims are very similar to the Light-alloy accessory wheels you can get for the C-class MB. Which is why I like them. I like MB wheel design. They have a great balance between sport and elegance without looking cheap or "racer-boy". I'm ok with the stock 19"s on my RLX but I do NOT like the stock 19"s that come on the Sport-Hybrid. They dont do anything to give that vehicle the sport attitude it commands.

neither of the aftermarket wheels you pictured commands the sport attitude you are speaking of. (hence my comment of it looking awesome on an economy car, Ford Focus)

However; if you like those wheels, go ahead and grab them and put them on your RLX.

In your opinion, sure. In my opinion, they are nice balance between elegance and sportiness.

Different strokes for different folks.
