Quote: Yeah but his are 18's I believe. I'm hoping there wont be any rubbing issues. I like that color because it matches my pewter color very well. I think it'll look sharp.
they look like the TSW Bremmas, and there are probably a lot of people with that. maybe you can search up some threads or something, most likely someone will have it in 19's with stock suspension. that color will go nice on most cars, i think rareamg had a set of dark colored rims on his car, and it always looks badass.

as for the quality issues, you could ask c24owner. you must be scared of the potholes huh? lol

what do you guys think of an 2inch drop up front on 18's? is that too much of a drop (can't believe i said that, lol)? or should i stick with a 1.4 drop? i don't want it to rub, it's real annoying. i have both of these springs, which one would you guys choose?

Sport Spring Front 1.4 Rear 1.3 29392
Sport Cup Kit Front 2.0 Rear 1.4 31004-1

i'm getting these numbers from the H&R website.

I've never seen a spring only drop that I'd consider "too low".

I wish...Id feel like I was 8 years old again and it's christmas morning if I could actually get those. I saw those in the classifieds this morning. There gonna cost me three times as much as I want to spend though. I'm trying to save up for a COMAND unit and a Rieger E63 style front lip too. So spending that much on rims is going to send me back and by the time I can afford the Rieger lip the W205's are gonna be out.

IMO springs/cupkit will always have unbalance height F and R in W203s, unless you cut your springs..

I think for a little bit more, you can get Tein Basic for your car..

There are actually a couple cars with those wheels on them somewhere on this forum, just maybe not in the W203 wheel thread. Those wheels in silver....EVERYONE has them....you don't have to look far.

IMO, 19's on the sport suspension is borderline...i think the front is just to high for that rubberband of a tire. The rear is decent. On a non-sport, i wouldn't do it w/o lowering. That being said, 18's on a sport susp looks good and on a non-sport, you can get away with it. There are def peeps running 19's in that w203 wheel thread with and w/o the sport susp....but you'll have to go throguh all 25 pages as i have

my only other problem with that rim is the lip. i think that a staggered set-up with a lip should have a lip difference front to rear. i mean, the back rim is 1" wider, but the lip is only 3mm deeper ...wtf??? (btw, i called as i was interested in these a couple months back). this is just my opinion, but i think that if you have a lip on a staggered set-up, you should be able to see the difference of the depth of the lip. you won't see 3mm. otherwise, don't get a lipped rim or get a lipped rim w/o a stagger. again, just my opinion

No, it does not rub.We manufacture customized wheels and fitments. When designing an aggressive fitment as pictured on the C-Class, we take all information into account from tire size and brand the customer is running to any custom brakes or suspension he may be purchasing. Unless you are running a set of coilovers all the way to the ground, suspension should never play a factor in wheel fitment or rubbing. Wheel overall diameter and factory track should never be exceeded by more than 3%. Thank you for the interest and let me know if you have any other questions.
