I like the rims a lot, but I don't like the company that is selling them.

I was looking to buy aftermarket wheels for my car, they had the rims that I wanted and when my husband and I called them to ask some questions, we spoke to several people who just didn't have a clue. Every answer out of their mouths was, "I don't know".

If you want to know the name of the place where I ended up getting my rims from, pm and I'd be more than happy to give you their number. They probably have these rims in stock.

I know some people from the porsche boards who have wheels from them, most people seem to be happy. I remember there being two sources on ebay for those same eurotech wheels, one tries to rip you off for shipping while the other has realistic prices.

I like these rims very much, my only hange up is if the wheels are staggered, I like the lip to show it and these do not.
Good Luck.

I am considering putting 18's on the front and 19's on the rear so I can have a larger lips and a little larger contact patch.....anyone done this?

I have not chosen wheels yet...I most likely want something with black centers and a polished lip...

i know that people with supercars do this, such as the corvettes, vipers, lambos etc. don't know about our cars. maybe frank can chime in on the true staggered setup.

Can't really see the point in putting 18's front and 19's rear. The MB staggered setup is already good i.e. 18's or 19's allround. Surely you are messing with the geometry of the car and will encounter problems with suspension parts and the overall ride. I would go for 18 x 8 (or 8.5) front, and maybe 18 x 9.5 rear or the same in 19's. At the end of the day its your car, and i am not sure who might have attempted this configuration especially on an MB.

Sorry mu9enx meant to quote from original post.

that's what i'm saying. i think that wider rubber in the rear will be fine; don't have to opt for the 18/19's setup.

I have a 2004.0 C230 sport sedan, so I have the older smaller brakes without the cross drilled rotors.

Will a 18x8 ET28 offset fit on my car? Would spacers be required if this size works? I searched the forum and couldn't find any information on a 28 offset with this wheel size. Thanks.

i think with 28 ET you should be fine!

im about to purchase some wheels for my 2004 C230K and i was wondering if these wheels would fit and also what size of tires would i need so that it wouldnt rub.... And also i don't have any BBK and my car has a stock high.....


Fronts are 19x8.5 offset of 32mm
Rears are 19x9.5 offset of 35mm

I like the set on the left more- the other set looks too "bling" for my tastes.

After reading through this thread, you would know that those offsets will work just fine for your setup, and might even clear bbk if your car had the larger brakes.

Hey guys, im about to change my rims on my C230K 2005.

I want some 19 inch, I just wanted to ask if the ride experience changes, for example steering, road bumps, ride hardness, or the suspension feels different, and if 19 inc wheels need special suspension or something like that.

I dont want to mess my ride just because of huge rims, I had some 18s on my previous C200 K 2003 and I didnt have a problem with anything, I just want to be sure 19 inc wheels will be ok or of theres to much of a problem.

Thanx in advance.

Well, you're not losing much rubber from 18's (225/40R18F and 255/35R18R) vs. 19's (235/35R19 and 265/30R19), so if you were comfortable on 18's, you shouldn't feel that much of a difference (if any) with 19's. The main difference would be in the steering. The ride harshness or the suspension shouldn't feel any different.

Thanx alot drex

alright thank im just making sure im trying to be in the safeside thats why

hey ppl,

does anybody know if these are bremmas in gunmetal or are they the st4 in the bright satin?

thanks for the help

drexappeal

Do Bremmas come in gunmetal? I didn't think they did.

And is it ok to only lower the front? Because the back is very snugg due to
ton's of Audio Equipment and Rubs on Dips with 2 Adults in the back... but
i need to get rid of that nasty gap in the front!

Thank's in advance!

Go with coilovers so you can get the drop just how you want it.

joyofcola

yeh i kno the bremmas dun come in gunmetal..but they might of gotten it repainted or smthn..soo are u saying they are st4s then?

drexappeal

Well, here's the thing. It's possible to paint the Bremmas, but they're 1 piece rims with fake rivots, so all the trouble it would be to paint one piece rims...I'd think that they are something else. Take that for what it's worth, but I dunno if they're necessarily st4's. A lot of companies have made reps of the amg style 4 rims.
