i think they only look fitting for the w204... the lines are too sharp to fit the w203 in my opinion.

i'd check the offset before buying. just because they have 19x8.5, 9.5 and 10.0- doesn't always mean it will fit (clear the inner and outter fender as well as your brake calipers).

+1. But, you never really know for sure until you actually see them on the car. I've thought the same thing about other wheels before and been pleasantly surprised.

And yes, that wing (along with pretty much every wing on a non-track car) looks absolutely ridiculous. The rest of the kit is pretty nice, though.

Looks awful on the 204 - don't do it to a 203

Why do people buy a European car and then try to make it look like it was styled by Subaru !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Similar style, but the spokes are more split.

Why don't you fit the genuine MB wheel - cleaner look & it belongs - take a look, they are great!!!

I still prefer the AMG type IV... all incarnations.

But hey, my car is bone stock. The only thing I've changed is the oil...

True - they look a lot better IMHO. I must say your car looks good but could easily have come out of the AMG stable. Let's face it it follows many of their themes side on - not back & front

Ah! well - there is taste & there is taste! The owner is the guy who has to be happy - he did, however, ask for advice & he got it. No surprise it differs on different sides of the pond
