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

Second wheel

Linea Corse Lemans (replicas of the BBS LM)
19x8.5 +30 Front
19x10 +30 Rear

Absolutely = FAIL big time.

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

91RS

Yeah, but that's the thing! It doesn't even look good, that looks like absolute ****e.

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.

W203E35

The second wheels look NICE!!!!!!!!!1

Glyn M Ruck

Yeah - both wheel styles are pleasant.

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.

FrankW

those will fit fine.

225/45/17 and 245/40/17

Giorgiojustini

Did you cut or roll yours?

SunnyRayToronto

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!

Little question,im trying to get a set of wheels for my coupe so im looking and i see a set of MRR's 19 inch staggered , they come with tires but im not sure if they going to rub , tires are : Rears 265/30/19 and fronts are 235/35/19 , i have my car lowered with h&r springs. Any input on this guys?

Glocker

Make sure that you roll your front fenders.
Second what brand of tires are those?

XsuperbeeX

damn.. 19"... anyway which mrr you looking for? just go with 18" and you dont need to roll...

LinDenKid

They are Flakens if im not mistaken , Superbee: gt1s.

Glocker

If the Falkens are non shoulder tires you are ok.
But you still need to roll your front fenders so it does not bite and slice the tires.

LinDenKid

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)

Glocker

I have heard of to many horror stories about the replicas. Like the rivets coming out while driving. Not worth the risk.

FrankW is selling his for a very good price. $ 2400

Giorgiojustini

Look at what I just bought for $1500 with Toyo tires.

Giorgiojustini

According to seller they are. How can I tell the difference?

Glocker

Here are different models of BBS, Check it out! .... http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/bbs/bbs-wheels.jsp

FrankW

BBS has engraves of their part # and spec on the front.

that's a steal for a set of RS-GT. what car did it came off from?

FrankW

RS-GT doesn't have step lip.

Giorgiojustini

Here is a better pic, zoom in and you'll see bbs ingraved with what appears to be serial numbers. I dont know much about reps, but seller said they are the real deal. Real or no real?

FrankW

i know most of the BBS wheels like the back of my hand. those are real alright. you got a steal for a set that's that's worth a lot more.
