DPE's always have this massive a$$ lip!
My OZ's have little blips of a lip compared to a lot of other multi-piece rims.

Niccccceeeeee wheels. I think that combination of finish with the wide lip is the most attractive on C class cars. Your car gets my vote for nicest ride in South County.
I would not disagree with Toyo's if clearence is a problem, but all my racer friends feel Yoko's are a more agressive (read 'fun') tire.

2003 C230 Sedan
Need help finding 17" wheels...
Hi everyone,
Well, I have been trying to resist the urge to buy wheels for my '03 sedan for about 3 years now. Always just buying tires as they are needed. This time, the tires are bald and my wheels are pretty scuffed up all over. I did some searching on the internet and found a package deal I really like from edgeracing.com
For under $950(shipped) I could have these wheels and brand new tires too. Not bad considering I'd spend around $600 for new tires alone.

17x7.5 - PCD 5x112 - ET 38
19.5lbs.
Problem is they are sold out! So while I wait for them to come back in stock, I wanted to see if anyone else knows of any good deals out there for me...
These are the requirements for me:
17" only, nothing bigger
packaged with tires for no more than $1000
hoping for black or gunmetal in color
Thanks so much for your time everyone. If nothing like this exists, I'll just sit and wait for edgeracing to restock them. I'll just ride my RC51 around for the time being.
