New wheels on my C280 Sport (pic)...
A few of my original rims were slightly bent, so for my non-winter setup, I decided to buy some new rims. Five years ago, I would have went with 17" rims. However, now that I am 35, my priorities have changed and I really don't want to give up the ride quality of the 16"ers. I also didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for new wheels, especially since this is the THIRD set of tires (between two cars) I have had to buy in a matter of 4 or 5 months. I wanted something that looked proper, and these look a little like the AMG split-spoke (although admittedly not nearly as nice). They are the Sport Edition Fox 5. I paid about $130 a piece, but Tire Rack has them for $110 I believe. Tires are Toyo Proxes 4. Well, just thought I'd post a pic here for all to see. If anyone needs a set of reasonably priced 16" wheels, these are an option...
