alt 228 wheel

hey alfonso, nice to see ya post. as you can see my fascination with wheels will never end. looking to get my 5th set in less than a year. thanks for opinion guys. oh these wheels, run $225 a wheel. 19x8, very inexpensive for 19's. also, come in a titanium look too.

Very affordable wheel, tires will be more expensive than the wheels, beware of pot holes on the streets. Good to hear from you too

19's don't look right on a C-Class. They look oversized when you see them on a W203. If you can get those rims in 18's, then I would go for that.

dont get those

are those real two peice rims or just made to look like two peice? $225 a wheel for real two peice rims seems too cheap, must not be good quality at all.

personally i dont like them at all for a Benz. they do look much more like beamer rims.

well guys, i have those exact wheels in 18" titanium and i think they look really sweet. if i could go back, i'd buy 19's as they fill in a little better. just my opinion as everyone has there own tastes. beware, the rims look perfect for a coasting car on the autobahn. well, atleast pertend that we have it.
