I thought the 4-matic was the off-road version of the W203 - Jk!

They look nice & will fit with those offsets. See also Eurotech Luxury Wheels in your neck of the woods. Everyone tells me they are good guys. See their website & eBay ads - now I'm off to bed!

might not fit if you have a bbk... if you don't, looks like you should be fine.. it also doesn't list the hub bore size, but it says it fits mb's so you're good there too...

pay attention to the specs. they say it fits C300 and C350 which means W204 offset 45-50. they won't fit W203 without spacers.

They cannot fit all benzes since different models have different offsets and lugbolt size holes. On top of that you are referencing the offset from the first ebay link and not the second one that FrankW quoted. Don't mix apples and oranges.

even though they have MB caps on them and say they will fit several MB's- i would still ask the hub bore. there are a lot of wheels that look similar to that on ebay and they have a VW/Audi bore. you are probably fine, but i would still ask just to be sure.

Absolutely - sorry Frank - my mistake - I am mixing apples & oranges. I was indeed referencing the first link

I would always refer matters wheels to Frank & intend doing so shortly for my own car. This is a subject, among many others that I will gladly bow down to Frank's superior experience & knowledge.

The other thing that would be helpful on these websites would be differentiation between W203 & W204 - C280(C300) & C350

I had a lousy experience with them, in particular their Customer Support. Their Sales staff are nice enough, if a bit uninformed. I can't comment on the quality of their wheels, as I never actually got tires mounted up on them, but returning ANYTHING to them seems to require an act of Congress...

Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Yep - I checked out a few other wheel/tire sites who had marginally better prices, but after a bad experience with one, I just bit the bullet and went with TireRack, and I'm glad I did. All the little "extras" that the other discount suppliers would nickle you to death with were all wrapped up in the price from TireRack. Plus, their sales and customer service was awesome.

I generally don't like "large" suppliers of anything, but I'll definitely rate TireRack.
