Hey gang,

Need help deciding on rims. So far I am deciding between BRADA TR5 and BR5 sz 18 on white finish.

I have a white w203 with coils. Just about it.

I need deciding on which rim. Feel free to critic on what colors wheels would look better or even model/type.

Below are 3 photos.

Stock, BR5 charcoal (imagine this rim in white), TR5 white.

I think the stock wheels look better than those two styles and colors. Of course it is entirely personal preference. Are you looking to upgrade handling/braking or aesthetics? I would also check what the weights are of those wheels you are looking at. Stock wheels are HEAVY but plenty of aftermarket ones are also.

Neither....

but everyone's likes are different...

Well, looks like they are actual 3 piece wheels so that's cool. That being said, I still want to melt every wheel with rivets down, real or not.

I vote neither as well. Also, I don't know if you've ever seen a white car with white wheels, but unless they are painted body color, it ends up looking half assed personally.

Sorry.

Yeah neither...I like the Brada BR7s tho. How expensive are they? You should check out watercooledind too they're a new company like brada and have amazing 3 piece wheels.

Noted. Tks for the advice guys. I ended up saving my cash and rejecting the wheels offer, and I actually have no regrets. At any case, you guys know I am looking for wheels or other alternatives. What would you guys suggest?

both are ugly, keep it classy. C55 rims or SL65 gunmetal.

What tickles your fancy? 5 spoke? 10 spoke? Multi-spoke? Directional?

Check out http://www.powerwheelspro.com/shop/i...sort=2a&page=2 they are also a forum sponsor.

I personally like the TSW nurburgring's, they look good and are much much lighter than stock.

i like 5 spoke, twin 5 spoke, i like the mandrus millenium look. concave 5 spoke. bbs Reps

Cl63 rims. Personally I love these in black/machined face finish. Their sharp, solid looks add a little something to the curvey, subdued lines of the w203.
Edit: USArim has them currently. Their site is pretty good, because it generates an image of them on your specific car.

Couldn't go wrong with these bad boys

I'm actually thinking of refinishing my stock wheels a charcoal or titanium.

Yeah I actually like the stock 17s (lowered) every now and then I switch them back forth

Stain or gloss? I'd like to see
