im asking because everytime i find some wheels, i have to bother u on this forum by asking the same stupid question (will those fit... )
thx
general rule: no big lips on the front, at least et30 to clear coilover, at least et35 to clear C32/55/sport brakes if the wheel has no lip and flat spoke design..

Not sure if you can notice it, but my spokes are curvey spokes compared to straight spokes on Milleniums..

Like Frank mentioned, mines are the replica of 1/16 Carlsson wheels..

When I said Maya, I didn't mean the style, more to the color. It's brushed diamond black/silver..It'd look great on your car, what color BTW?

wheel thread

https://mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=253761



i like the wheel when looking at the side of the car. however, when you get a 3/4 view or angle view, i don't like them as much. i don't like how the spokes come out as you get closer to the hub. i understand why they have the be made like that, i'm just not a huge fan of how the look from that angle/view.
