Looking for Rims for my c230 Kompressor
Hi, does anyone know what brands of wheels I should be looking for, I have an 04 kompressor coupe I just bought. I am not familiar with bolt patterns and I am trying to find some really nice looking wheels on the kompressor, preferably 19" rims, not trying to go the staggered look either. My car is silver but I am re-painting it black. Can anyone please point me in the right direction here? I've seen some Brabus wheels on a few rides, but maybe someone can help me find more of a variety of wheels? If you have a link, please post, or if you have a pic of your ride with wheels, lets see them. Thanks for any help! Also, what is the bolt pattern specs on an 04 kompressor, the benz dealership I bought the car from didn't have the manual and I am still waiting on it. Appreciate any help here.

2004 models belong in the w203 section bro, not the 202. :P
Bolt pattern is 5x112". That is for most, if not all Euro cars. And just to let you know, 19" tires will be far more expensive than 18" or 20" tires. I dont know why really, but even number sized tires are just cheaper from my experience.

Hey thanks for taking the time to respond, you really think that I could actually use 20" rims on the c230 coupe? I thought 19" was the limit on this particular kompressor? I have found these wheels, but they are more then what I was looking to spend, they are awesome:

You might fit them with some modification all depends on width, offset, & tires, but what they'll look like is another question. I believe thepinoc was simply referring to the cost of 19's vs 18 or 20, not necessarily 20 was a good option. I'd stick with a quality 18 or 19. If you check out the pic thread in the w203 forum you'll get plenty of ideas of what looks & fitments are out there

To me, 18" seems the perfect choice for our w202. Unless offset and widths are perfect, 20" will be pretty hard to get without rubbing issues and the like. 18" also keeps pretty good ride comfort, and it's less expensive (still gonna pay upwards of 200+ EACH for good tires mind you, reason why im still running stock).

Ok, I have found some wheels now and have ordered up. Here they are, they are 19"
Manufacturer: Konig
Style/Finish: Lace (Gloss Black w/ Machined Spokes)
At its heart, the Lace is a classic mesh style, but the Konig design team took it a few steps further. First, they coated the wheel in a Gloss Black finish. Next, they machined the entire face of the wheel to reveal the brilliant alluminum, then clear coated it so it stays that way.
