If you can see the tires personally, buying used tire+wheel package would be a better deal. Uneven wear and amount of thread left would be difficult to judge if you don't look at 'em directly.

usually buying brand new wheels and tires combo the price is cheaper. when buying used the price is obviously even cheaper, but it all depends on the tread of the tires.

say you buy a set of new 3 piece wheels for 3k and spending 1k on tires. buying everything separately you have to pay for shipping and mount and balancing etc etc.

Emailed you for pricing on the mb6 reps. Hard to read the prices. Is there a price break when you buy 4?

I am actually selling my rims. Just wondering whether I should sell the wheels and tires separately.

Question for those with DPE or other custom wheels

I'm looking into picking up a set of DPE wheels for my C32. Since they don't have half sizes, I think I should get 19x8 fronts and 19x10 rears.

I want to have the wheel clear the brakes and be as far out to the fender as possible with very minimal to no rubbing. I'm currently lowered on H&R coilovers. From experience, what offsets should I be looking into?

If you have DPE wheels, if its possible, can you post a pic? Im also trying to decide on a style right now.

Thanks.

fronts should range from 35-28mm offset
rears should be about 35

if you buy new DPEs, tell them your application and they custom build the wheel to fit your car

dpe should already know the correct offset since they're making a custom offset. just tell them what car you have and what you want.

Ok cool. Yeah I'll probably be talking to them after I decide on a style. They've probably worked with a lot of W203s.

the w203 came out in 2000 for the 2001 model and its been virtually the same so they should know. just tell them you want the largest lip in the rear possible and you also want bbk clearance in the front.

I was thinking about the R06 or the R07 in black with chrome lip. Do you have more pictures of your car? I know you have much wider wheels, but I was having trouble finding a lot of black with polished/chrome lip.

Can you email me some pictures?

Thanks.

Just to be sure, wheels from a CLK55 (w209) will fit a W203 correct? I'm looking at a set of Lorinser RS6's.

W209 wheels will definitely fit a W203.
