I think I went through the entire thread but I didn't see anyone mention if these will fit a w210, I will be transitioning to w210 in a couple weeks and I'm just wondering if these will work...

any inputs and responses welcome

thanks

according to brabus, both 203 and 210 use 19x8.5ET30 and 19x9.5ET35... so the answer is yes, it should fit...

I'm still waiting for confirmation from Velocity that they have successfully test fitted the wheels on a W203 and are ready to proceed with our group buy. They indicated last week that they are planning to have it done this week, but I still haven't gotten an update. Once I know, you guys will know... and the GB will officially be open for deposits. Until then, all we can do is wait.

The latter sizes are what is recommended for 19x8.5/9.5" wheel sizes, but the former sizes might work better to avoid any rubbing issues since my car is so low. It is not uncommon for the rear to tuck all the way to the top of the rim with passengers and luggage. Maybe I'll mix and match and go 235/35/19 (front) and 255/30/19 (rear), but I have plenty of time to decide.

The rear should be just about flush with the fender as well, but don't want to get too close since many of us who are lowered need the extra room to tuck some tread!

Like MJ50 said, what finish do you want?

Can we actually mix and match our tires like 235 fronts and 255 rears. Will it affect our breaking system at all?

Anyway, these wheels are gorgeous; make me want to replace my LM6s .

I guess you can still get in since Velocity hasn't started producing them yet.

Good news is... we've got more buyers! Bad news is... Velocity still hasn't done the final test fit and go ahead. Hopefully it will be sooner, rather than later.

Sorry for my absence today on the thread... my bro and his wife just had a baby girl and I've been at the hospital all day!

The conservative estimate is late July/early August, but as long as everyone gets their deposits in quickly and Velocity can begin production on time, it could be sooner! FYI: Typical production time for custom wheels is 4-6 weeks, so best case scenario is that Velocity confirms fitment by mid-May and receives all deposits by the end of May, which would put the wheels in production all of June and on our doorsteps in early to mid-July.
