'05 C230K SS

I just put winter tires on my stocks (Dunlop Winter Sport 3D's, FTW) and bought a set of used 18" summer wheels/tires on eBay.

17" Mille Miglia Spider and C230 SS fit??

With the winter approaching, I'm in need of a set of snow tires. Does anyone have experience with this 17" Mille Miglia Spider on C230 sport? I found this set with Michelin Pilot Alpin snow on Craigslist. The poster says these are 7.5" 5x112 with 35 offset.

Thanks Much!

TWS is good and come highly recommended by a lot of people on this site. I didn't get my wheels there, but i've had some work done there. I've heard good things about Need4Speed, ive been there a few times, but have never bought anything or had my car worked on... you can also try HMS in Westminster or VIP Status in Torrance...

ABT "BR" Wheel on a W203

Just curious if someone who is still active on this thread could photoshop this wheel onto a red w203 sedan? I am curious how it will look. Thanks.

Wheel color options

I need to get one of my wheels refinished since it turns out they didn't fix one of the cracks. So I ask this: Should I stick with the current color combo on the wheels (cheaper) or reverse it (flat black spokes with a color coded lip)? Let me know what you think!

Either is cool. For me, the decision between 18 and 19's is where you live.
Good roads/sun = 19's. Rainy/potholes ( Like Oregon

) = 18's.
