I have a question about the light weight wheels...
Being them light weight, do they have enough strength to support some considerable potholes!?
What I wanna know is, if I'll go with some of these wheels, won't they have the tendency to transform in a square wheel!?
I'm asking this because I'm running on replicas, but the quality is a little bit better than some years ago, but not as OEM! (I have all 4 wheels needing to be straighten up)

Of course, the best thing is to avoid potholes no matter what.

Ok, Ive read though most of the posts but did not find the exact info that i was looking for.. I have a W203 C240 non sport package and was thinking if i could fit a 19X8.5 in the front with a 40 offset and a 19X10 rears with 45 offset.. Wheels are made by carlsson model 1/6 evo. Also, can I use 245/35 front and 275/30 rears? planning to use Tein springs. If it would not fit.. any suggestions on how I can make it fit? Thanks for you help! meantime, ill read through other posts..

I thought that somewhere in this thread, someone stated- a couple times, that something between et28-35 for the fronts and et32-35 (maybe a tad more) on the rears. With that being said- you can most likely use those wheels, but you will need some spacers and longer lugs.
I think I would cut that tire size down a little also. 225 or 235 fronts and 255 or 265 on the rears.

They all say they've searched, but most are too lazy to read the whole thread.
but I can't put them, because that size its not allowed by the DMV here, because its not a size used by MB

ur okay. you can go 265 in the back and still be okay. also take into consideration the sidewall height of the tires. that plays a major role.

Ok, I'm in love with these HRE M40 
Any one know more info about them, weight, price!?
I think I read somewhere that the sizes are 19-20" if so I can forget it since I only want 18"

a friend was offering me to buy his giovanna wheels 20". i have a stock 06 c230 SS (tires are 35 but not sure about any other dimensions) it's black, with chrome lip. we'll meet up sunday. is 20 ok? i was just looking for 19. he won the wheels from a poker game. do i still need to drop the height? and upgrade sway bars? would an H&R lowering spring will do with stock shocks?

Im getting tired of not being able tu turn the steering wheel all the way to make u-turns. Front tire tuch the front part of the black plastic under the fender. is there any solutions other than getting smaller wheels or raising hight? coz I luv the way it looks now.
H&R coils, 225 40 18X8.5 and 255 35 18X9.5.
Any suggestions with that plastic
Or I just have to live with it?

I had the same issues and readjusted those wheel covers, it's been fine since that..Try to readjust them!
