Mandrus Milleniums 18 x 8.5 all around !! i know its only 18s but I am not a big fan of rubbing noises however rare it is, and no staggered wheels since i have a 4matic.. even though i wish I would have. Those 19s looks really awesome but I still like mine. Ride quality is perfect still and I feel like I can still beat the winter mess here in the East with this wheels. I just need my C240 to be lowered. Just have to search from this forums for the best one I guess. I have the clk grille too. Which do you think looks better? OEM Grille or MOD? (btw, next MOD is HIDs, clear housings etc..)

You're right .. She needs serious drop ..

I would prefer 2005+ OEM Grill

advans

the wheels look great. but yep u REALLY need a drop.

jan ken po

Love the wheels, but yeah w/o staggered and AMG sport package, you need serious drop.

rlee02135

nice wheels, but drop it like its hot

jdestreza

yeah im searching now as I write this for whatever is the best choice for dropping it and still matches what i want. Something that will look nice, yet wont give me that "wavy" feel in the road. I still want the luxury ride of course. Coilovers, springs, so manychoices.. trying to narrow it down now..

as a MAJOR fan of the millenniums, effin kudos! i got like a week more til mine come in! ugh, i hate waiting! haha.


congrats! no drop it! lol

Anyone ever see an 18" wheel like the '06 C230 sport 5 spoke wheels???

jdestreza

i heard there is a certain type of kits for lowering a 4matic? like bilstein at tirerack??? why is that.

jdestreza

remember DO NOT USE THE OEM Lugbolts or else you will not be doing this .. and if that happens i will then do this to you and this lol

kidding aside, yeah i love them .. thanks to Jan Ken Po... hes the inspiration for all milleniums owners.. especially a silver one..
what size did you get badass? tire size too..

johndddd

if you find one let me know because thats the size and style I have been looking to purchase for several months now without any luck. There are wheels similiar but not the same. In my opinion not even close. The 17" sport wheel is sharp. I have given thoughts to 18" SL500 Five Spoke Wheels.

BadAssC230k

yeah, im not meessin with stock bolts, heh. knew it'd be an issue so im gettin a new set for the wheels. as for tires, i just bought mine the day before yesterday. I got Falken FK-452 @ 235/40/18's all the way around. what kinda meats you runnin?

Blazinpin0i

lo0kin good pare dang you used stock bolts before 0_0, im glad it was only 200$ in repair. now lower it lol!

225 / 40 / 18 Toyo Proxes 4

18 x 8.5 all around, did you get it staggered?

jdestreza

yeah im definitely getting it. Too much wheel gap, making it look small you know. What kind of body kit would you suggest for my ride?

BadAssC230k

nope. not a fan of staggered. orderd 18x8.5 and 235/40 all around. easier on rotation, plus i have a problem with symmetry. i HAVE to have ti

jdestreza

Hey Jan... I know, I cant wait to drop this or at least get a kit.. ive been eyeing down an AMG.. but well see, price price price... its always the problem..

jdestreza

heres more pictures, different grille.

looks good....now drop it!

jdestreza

rlee: "...NOW DROP IT"

jdestreza: YES SIR!! lol

I wish it was that easy Rlee, if only it was that easy. Im thinking bout just getting a lip and maybe I can get away without dropping it you know,..

BlackLiquorish8

nice wheels i have a 4matic also but i really want staggered wheels is it really gonna mess up my car if i get staggered wheels??? thinkin bout the brabus replicas 18 staggered. Ya it sucks how little options there are for 4matic w203's.

jdestreza

well they said its all up to you but its not recommended by anyone ive spoken with and there was a lot i asked. Since we run on all wheels, rear set not being the same size as the front will eventually ruin something and I can not tell you what it will be . They just said "something". Search around, you might find it not even a big deal so it will justify a staggered set.. i liked the staggered too esp on the milleniums, same thing with 19s i like them better compared to my 18s .. but id rather have a smooth, quality, a little lux, a little class type of ride so I opted out of the 19s or the staggered and Im glad I did , im smooth driving it baby! No complaints so far, no rubbing noises etc.

And dont feel bad about having a 4matic brother, while their cars are sitting in the driveway or their garage in the winter.. yours and mine is out playing in the snow (this of course does not play into the folks who live where snow does not fall )

Do you know the Brand Name of these rims? To buy a set

Ep1dem1c

He is selling his... check classifieds i think

I've spent about a days worth looking at about every pic and thread here and can not find a nice 18" wheel that has a decent size lip that does NOT require spacers to clear the '06 brakes. I love the look of Bremma's but can not go with 19's on our crappy streets and the 18's have no lip at all. I'm sure that HRE or some other big $$$ company could custom make somethig but I'm trying to stay under $2k for rims. The NZO Corsa's are cool but need spacers.

What am I missing?
