hello, I have been searching all over the forums about rims, but no luck. I have a 2002 c240, and I live in Korea. I wanted to ask if anyone knows a good korean wheel brand I can get for my car. Thanks very much. Also is the offset the most important in wheel size selection?
I plan on getting wheels with these dimension.

17x7.5
offset 37mm
bolt 5-112
tire size 225/45 - 17

I duno if these dimensions is all I need to fit my car well. My rims are too crappy!!!!! PLEASE HELP

There's a Korean brand called "ASA" which is part of BBS I believe. However, they usually make applications for Asian cars instead of European cars.

ya theres a few that will fit your car i would check out www.tirerack.com and view them on your car to see if you like them and i would also try ebay g luck

ahhhh ur in luck! im selling a set of ASA/AR-1 Bright Silver Finish with Chrome lip, 17x8 for $650USD+shipping!

Tangerine

just out of curiosity but why korean brand?

raymond g-

shipping....tariffs.....= $$

necrotix

yea shipping amg rims or other name brands are pretty expensive to bring in. I dunno how much tarrifs etc will cost to bring them in either. I checked out asa rims, but I found out the rims that are sold in the US are not sold in Korea T T. I hope an offset of 37mm will be a good way to find a korean rim that will fit my car properly.

FYI the stock rims for the Sport Sedan are:

Front:
17x7.5 ET36 225/45R17

Rear:
17x8.5 ET34 245/40R17

These sizes should work on your C240 and you should have less clearance issues since the C240's come with smaller brakes up front.

ET 34
should be the offset, im thinking? ^^;

Ok look at these rims for me guys.
One costs 200$ per rim and other costs 220$ per rim. No tires.
Is this a good price? I'm in korea. Or could they be replica?

necrotix

this one is 220$. Being sold in Korea

advans

jan ken po

good gawd that's a wide rim

I found these replica rims, BZ24 "18. Guy said cost about $180 per rim I think they are being shipped from Taiwan to Korea. Also he said the rims could have like a milligram weight difference. I wasn't able to check if there were any markings like DOT, JWL, VIA, TUV for safety ensurance.

Questions T T.
1. Is $180 per rim ok price?
2. Do original rims have any small weight differences, and will couple milligram weight diff affect my car.
3. Should the copy rims have DOT, JWL, VIA, or TUV on them? If they don't should I not buy them.

I'd really appreciate a reply, thanks~
