'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!

any good wheel shops in socal that sells either wheels or wheel/tire package for a goooooood price and could order any wheel you want? (it could be a shop or an online shop!)

I've only heard of a couple, like TWS...

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.

Question 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.
