Im looking at these knock off wheels. Do you guys think these are junk? I have an 2003 c230K which off set do I need. And whats the difference?

from ebay.. most likely for the price.. but if you don't do harsh driving, i guess it would be alright

MrMercedes

Yeah, I do pretty mild driving. I live in a city with very few pot holes if you can believe it.

i would ask them if it will clear BBK (sport calipers that your car has). just because a wheel is et32 doesn't mean it will clear (ask me and my Moven s5r how i know).

when are you guys planning on taking off your wheels and putting your stock on or w/e you use for the winter??? I might actually take mine off soon better to do it now than freezing outside i know its def a little early.

That is very inexpensive. But shipping is not listed.
They might get you there.
They look very nice, but I'd be a little wary at that price, when everything else in that category is at least 600 a set.
I read the stories of cheap rims that bend easily, or are out of round.
Find out if you can return them if they're not right.

Let us know how it works out!

Did mine last weekend.

yeah, moved last year. Has it gotten cold there yet? I'd be putting my winters on very soon if I still lived up there

I don't have rims yet but my winter tires should be going on in about a month

ya went to the auto parts store today and bought a jack, one of those big ones i hate using the stock one.... put my stock C7's back on (with winter pirellis). the ride is soo much smoother.... wash the summer wheels and stored them and wash my whole car today also. i'm kinda tiiiired lol


only reason i took them off early is b/c i refuse to take my car to a car wash with the aftermarket wheels on and its gonna be harder to wash my car as often

need some help guys:

can 18x8.5 with et40 work with a spacer up front? 8-10mm spacer should do the trick, but will it rub my fender? could i run a spacer and a size down on tire width?

and can 18x8.5 et 40 work in rear without spacer?

thanks.

on an 8.5" wide wheel, you can go down to ET25 and not hit the fender.

you'll need ET30 for the rear.

Sport Edition wheels are not junk. Tirerack sells them....

I usually when swap them out when I hear we are going to get snow.

But since I have 18's with all seasons this year, I think I will keep them on.

BlackLiquorish8

get and let us know how they are! a lot of reps on ebays are made by OE plant atleast thats what they say.... and these are cheap enough that if you bend them just get another set and use the rest for spare!

MJ50

that's super low price...
perfect for winter wheels...

yeuchau

I Love Cali

kevblah

ive been on the hunt for winter wheels for a month now...
...sucks living in new england

advans

i'm gonna do it last min. I still gota find a place cheap/good enough to do tire swaps. i'm gonna use my amgs with snow tires! ima ride in style!

anthuny85

nice, damn i was hoping the 40 would clear the rear, i thought 40 works in the rear of 203's, my old wheels had a 35.

Blake P

35 or lower would be fine for sure. I've never seen anybody running higher than that. Only one way to find out!
