on my 2005 c230 coupe please help doesny 1 know if it will be a big dif. im fron new york will it be hiting my fender

Its not a bad ride. I went from 16 to 18 and it rides fine. Good luck!!!

It'll be fine with 18's....

Two things though (not intended to flame, just "constructive criticism"):

1.) don't post your question twice
2.) PLEASE stop typing like you're 12.

The good thing about NYC is the roads are glass smooth so you won't notice a difference. Depending on tire size and if you lowered your car will determine if it will rub. Stock height with tires of the same diameter and it will be the same as the 17". The difference comes with 19" where the tires are of larger diameter and people lowerd their car. Out here in So Cal where the roads are rough, lots of pot holes and such you will notice a ride difference to 18". Also be careful what wheels you get, not all can fit over the large brakes in a 2005.

im going to get HRE rim 18" hope wont mess up my ride

Probably won't mess up your ride, but with all those crate holes in NYC, you should expect getting a couple of bent rims if you decided to go with HREs.

damn the HRE rims i want to get go for about 4000 will it be that bad 2 put them on on my c230 05 coupe.. i also orderd eisnamnn exhuast k&n airfilter and also renntech wing going to also make my grill black you guys have any advice

will renntech pulley cuase any problems?

Idon't think he's trying to type like he's twelve, english is probably not his first language.

Try finding someone on here that has a renntech kit already installed to see if there are any problems. I was interested in a Kleemann kit but now I'm looking more towards Digi-Tec because of what it offers. Read this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/126957-evosport-kleemann-pullies-c230k-ss.html. Get the K&N as soon as you can but don't get it if you look into the Kleemann kit because it's already included.

:v

lmao you really think i care about how i spell , and please ( lol ) yea i type like a 12 yearold cuz i really dont care how i type ONLINE but im sure i dont drive like 1

use the search option some more... i am sure you did because you PM'd me so that's a good sign. Good luck with the wheels... i just got back from wheel repair shop. All my wheels are now non repairable.... bringing the tally up to 5 effing wheels. Just gives you the warm and fuzzy doesn't it? The ride is fine with 18's... a little choppier but nothing horrible.... still smoother than other cars. Best of luck to you......

Go 19's, it'll look much better than 18's. HRE's are expensive... we all know that. Search first before posting new questions on here please.... there is tons of info on this forum.

19' Umm Thats Kind Of Scary With The Hole's We Have Here In The Streets Dont 4get Im From New York

Yah i guess you got a point . Make sure the 18's you pick out look good as 18's...

Umm.. From 17" to 18 " that's not much of difference for the look if u dont lower the car. Considering the road condition in "NEW YORK" city, i would guess the rim is more for the look not road handling . So as long as u drive smoothly, I think the ride of 18 19 should be similar. I will say go for the 19"

And I hope ppl reading this thread wouldnt mind I say "we" all noticed u are from NY.

just get the right tire size depending on the size of the wheel and you should be alright. i know here in SF have some phucked up roads as well and have to take that into consideration if you're going to get low profile tires.

Here is mine 18 '' 225 40 front and 255 35 rear on coupe....everythin 's not bad at all . plus tires cheaper than 19''

Samhsu, that's a sweet ride bro. BTW, where can you get those front euro license plates? I've been wanting one of those for a while now.

:v

Forgot to tell you my front passenger one on the way back to HRE will cost me almost 700 bucks replace outer and inner pieces ..cause'' I ran over piece of wood down the street one.......good luck

thanks......I got mine from Ebay for 50 bucks somethin shipping included ..seller in germany ..search on Ebay sometime you will find a really good deal.....

50 bucks? you should've checked out europeanplates.com that's where i got mine. They were about $27-29 shipped with words of your choice and the real used one are just a little more.

thank you so much u really helped me with the pic of t he copue and 18" on them cuz thats how my copue i guess its gonna look like with 18" THANKZ
