Wheels and tinted windows
Ive been wondering about getting new wheels for my c280 witch i imported from the US to Iceland a few months ago and i need some help. I will post some old pictures of my car i would post new ones but the car is all dirty because of the snow. The wheels that i am thinking about are from an Audi a4 but i dont know what the wheels are called or if they can be used with my car. What do you guys think?
Also what about tinted windows should i have very dark at the front and back because of the light colored interior or 30% front and back or the third option 30% front and dark at the back. please discuss
ps. if anyone has the same color interior and has installed tinted windows please post pics.

I would do tinted windows 20% front and back or 30% front and back. Try to keep the same % as it will look better. Search for the "all you need to know about tinted windows thread" as it will give you more information.

white and whiter
depends on the A4 wheel's offset. they may or may not fit. You do need to machine the centerbore to MB spec for sure.
the official wheel thread has all kinds of wheel info on what fit and what doesn't to give you ideas.

7 years of a chassis is very difficult to keep organized in one forum and the more duplicate threads we have like this, the more difficult it gets for people to search. Thanks for your cooperation.
