Question Newbie On Board I Got My New 05' C230 Kompressor Benz Now Need I Need Rims !!!!!!!!!

Hi I am a newbie. I just got my 05 C230 Kompressor Sedan. Oh its an amazing car to drive. I like the supercharger its pretty cool. Now I need rims to put on the Benz especially when you live in Manhattan you gotta look fly with your whip and stock rims will not do it. So I plan on getting some 18's AMG Double 5-Spokes and or Brabus Monoblock VI. Those rims will look nice on my car especially in chrome. I gotta make sure I mod this car right. The rims I planning on getting are replicas because you can get a nice set under 1K. Non chrome under $550. Not bad at all. My question is what are some good manufactures or companies I should consider getting my replicas from ?
Have anyone heard of Eurotech wheels ? How is the quality. They say they are German Made rims and not made elsewhere. And they say that they Does guarantee their products because its top of the line for the lifetime. Does anyone has these Eurotech Wheels on there cars ? What about Lakeshore Wheels, Highline Wheels and Velocity Wheels ? Do they have good quality wheels. Please give me some advice on who makes the best Replicas for the money and qaulity.


Also I visited some other people on ebay that sells these styles rims and one guy stated that If he has 10 people from MBWorld he can sell AMG 18's for $450.

1) You claim NYC but your IP is Boston.
2) Advertising, attempted groupbuy, without being a sponsor or getting permission is against the TOU which you agreed to when you signed.
3) You deny email contact so therefore you leave me no choice but to do it this way.

18 yr old with a Benz in Manhattan? Boy would have to be loaded in which case replicas are unacceptable. Nice work all.

Nope. The record is a banning before the guy even had a chance to complete a post. Twice in a row. And no it wasn't C230_617.

1) 16 out of 800+ posts on the W203 forum. Opinion up to membership willing to search.
2) assume = *+*+*
3) No background on what is known to membership and/or administration.
4) Comments posted on W203 equate, IMHO, to your statement above when applied to yourself.
5) Drives GM truck, Link 1 and Link 2.
6) Likes to go against the grain as is evidenced by his other support posts.
7) No different when compared to this post - link 3, non-W203 but ...........

How is that, for starters, for getting to know someone by their posts on the internet?

Why on this board when people make topics people cant focus on the topic or answer questions ? I went thru alot of threads and people be going off-topic. Wow

Yea, I remember that bloody little bugger in the Maybach forums.

I must admit, I am impressed with the moderator of these forums. If I ever owned a company and needed some security personnel (for technology, not protection), I would definitely consider hiring you.

There are a lot of 18 year olds who drive C Classes, especially in California. I assume Manhattan might be a bit different though.

I'm far from being loaded. But you might think I'm a bit too young to even be driving at all, especially a brand new Mercedes. For that reason, I'm not going to mention my age. But it's definitely not uncommon at all. Especially, Mercedes-Benz safety in a way (when you count active safety) might be safer than a Volvo. Then think about all the neavou riche.
