Hi all,

I'm planning to upgrade my 2005 evolution (C7 wheels) to AMG wheels, the question is wich ones, I'm planing this for 3 years now! LOL and now is the time, but so much time watching wheels that I'm confused wich ones I like the most!!
Prices are almost the same, so that is not the question...

PS: My coupe, for who don't know it, is silver and have the complete AMG styling and brakes...

1-First I preffered the AMG typ III 17" because of the cheaper tyres and confort ride:






2-Second I was watching the AMG type III but in 18" I like it sooo much and a bit rare to see in the SC... classic and sporty...





3-Now I was looking on the sportier AMG typ IV in 18", they give the car a sportier look, but more conventional to see on the roads...

 

I voted for Style III, but whatever you get, go for 18's.

 

I like the IV even thought they're a little understated they look clean in 18!

 

18" first...type III second if you don't want to run the same wheel everyone else has. OR you could go for the CLK 63 wheels.

 

I vote for 18" Type III too!

I vote for IV because I have IV and I also debating on buying III or IV and I ended up with IV!!!!

 

New pic:

 

AMG type 3 18" looks the best

 

Type III 18" looks the cleanest

 

type III 18"

 

Check this style out.

That wheels where stock in cars with AMG pack in Europe, prety comon here...

 

those wheels are pretty common here as well, they are seen a lot on 208s

 

Hey guys, just providing options. I don't see too many on W203 Coupes.

type III in 18!!!

don't worry E, I still like em!

 

Ha, well it's not so common on coupes here, since they weren't offered as part of a package like the C7 (evolution) package here in the states, but yes, as shown from the brochure i posted they were offered in Europe in the AMG package. You lucky dogs.

Oh geez, an X19 head in Mercedes sig.
Any skin left on your knuckles E?
I had my head off 3 times, due to blown gaskets, which were due to
overheating, due to belt breaking, due to the mechanic being a nimrod, and putting on one that was too small...which blew again 5K miles later when the water pump went bad from the same too tight belt.
Never let a mechanic touch it again.

Lesson: Change the water pump when you put it back together.
And of course new belts, and while you're in there, send out the alt for a rebuild to an auto electrics shops, put new brushes in.
Then all you gotta do is retorque the head after 500 miles, and make sure it doesn't rattle loose.
You're gonna need the special spagetti wrenches, which are no longer available. I got the club I was in to buy the last set I ever saw available.
What fun!

 

Type IV's too commmon...type III 18's are nice

 

Sorry to jijack this thread Gaix.

I have now put about 200 miles on the rebuilt engine. New Big Valve Head, balanced and blueprinted injectors. That little car is so choice to drive. No guts at all, but I think I can get up to say 90 RWHP. Right now, I'd be happy to see 60.

I'm planning on parking the Mercedes and developing the Fiat to get those ponies I covet so much.

Now THAT would be sexay!

 

Yeah, but €€€€€ and not so easy to find

 

I voted for the AMG Style III wheels in 18", but I agree with emrliquidlife that the older AMG Style III 18" look nice. I have those on my coupe, and I think they look much better than the new style. But, they also aren't very common here so I don't have to worry about seeing them all over.

 

Now some more...
I'm really confused!!! I also like the SL type ones, AMG type V I think

 

these are nice...and rare to find on a coupe.

 

Yes, same opinion here, till I saw one with those wheels, in my little city! LOOL
These pics are from spanish forum members.

 

Am I seeing a C55 COUPE!!!! can anyone shed some light on this...
