Deciding on which wheels to get... its between these two.. I love the concaved look but the offset they offer for our cars isnt low enough to give it that look that I want. Unless I can call up the company and see if theyll make me a custom set. They say its suppose to have that deep concave look on all the wheels but I guess I'll call them and see if they can send me some pics of they actual wheels so I can get a look at how concaved they really are.
VMR V713
19x8.5 +35 front
19x9.5 +33 rear

What a mess - How to screw the handling & make sure the tyres can't operate as designed. Michelin would have heart failure!
Cosmetics over performance - Please don't do that to a Benz. Aside from screwing the handling I think it looks crap.
No tyre's rim protector is going to save those wheels from curb rash

On a good note, those VMR wheels look freaking fantastic! Too bad those only come in 19s or I'd sell my C63 wheels for those.

Will these fit 02' Coupe
Saw these for sale in the classified section, and was looking for some wheels.
These are off an slk350 17'' staggered

If anyone can help with fitment it would be greatly appreciated, also what would be the best tires to run.
Thanks

Instead of getting Linea Corse Lemans (replicas of the BBS LM) why not get the real thing?
Just to let you know, you will have problems with 19x10 on the rears. Unless you plan on cutting the rear fenders.

Also, since SLK-Class uses the exact same lug bolt sizes as C-Class W203, you can use your current lug bolts. Without having to look for hybrid lug bolts that probably don't even exist!
SLK-Class & C-Class (W203) lug bolt sizes:
Alloy wheels: M12x1.5 thread, R12 ball seat, 39.9mm shank, 17mm hex
Steel wheels: M12x1.5 thread, R12 ball seat, 20.6mm shank, 17mm hex

Just rolled the front fenders. I used to rub on the rears when driving on dips
But when I installed rear camber kit, it took out the rubbing. Corrected the camber angle about half an inch. This will save my tires from wearing fast.
Here's how low my car looks!

Glocker the 1 BBS is worth what the whole set of reps is. Not everybody is so lucky right now to have 5000+ for wheels and tires. (at least me)
