Looks bada$s...you are so lucky to own such a nice car, all of you...whoever decides to put these on their C-Class with a drop like that will be riding like a bada$s. Damn, I cant say how much it looks good with the lip different from the gold....damn. BTW, nice job on the photoshop.

Anthuny, do you have a picture of the wheels or of a car with the wheels already on it?

I think most people won't have the patience to special order the gold wheels from BBS Japan. The ETA was something like 6+ months the last time I inquired. BBS USA is usually of no help either.

Of course you can always go that route. It all depends on how much you trust the place doing the powder coating.

I think I understand where you're coming from now. A C230 with gold wheels is asking for trouble it can't handle, tons of cars from evo/sti to m3/porsche are gonna hit on you and put you where you (we) belong. Now gold bbs wheels on a C55 would be a different story, the gold bbs becomes the bait. If it was just for looks, the Gold LMs a winner.

Goodluck anyway.

fake bbs with staggered setup? does that mean you're doing 10.5 on the rear? whoa!!! let me know how it goes. I said 10.5 b/c I think the fake LMs only come in 8.5 and 10.5, keep us posted.

yea those are luff's with the 10.5 rears, but darwin is getting some made with a 8.5/9.5 setup, dunno the supplier, but he showed me a pic, and they look damn good. its gonna be a few months til ther complete, he told me this when i took my car in to get lowered. so im gonna wait and see what they come out with, b/c if i can go with the 19 staggered and no spacers needed, thats basically like god answered my prayers.

2007 C230 Sport Sedan wheel fitment

can anyone confirm that these wheels will clear the brakes on a 07 C230 Sport Sedan?

they website says it will
1 guy there says they wont but he is not 100% sure

are the brake the same on 06 and 05 C230 sport sedan?

I'm looking for a wheel that is gun metal color or a dark silver and having a hard time finding something I like anyone have anything in mind? I have search and search the wheel threads and have not really found anything like these

http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse....ShowLarge=True

Thanks for any info

the 05 and 06 brakes are the same.
if he says they wont clear, they probably wont
but if you put a spacer on they might.

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
I agree, the smaller wheel in the front only really works well with muscle cars.

On another note, Rlee when are you going to post updated pictures of your car. I've been dying to see them forever (sorry for the thread hijack)
