I'm thinking about swapping the rims from a C230 to my C320. My question is, do you think anyone would notice a C230 without the sport rims?

Ooooo. Bro, just a word of advice. Remove the AMG badge from your car or you'll be in for some bashing and possible flaming. Or if you want to keep it without hearing about it, just don't put a pic in your sig with it showing.

Is the '05 suspension better or just newer?

It's both. It has stiffer springs and a lower ride height. Are your sure your C320 is a sport model? They only came with charcoal interiors and the 5 spoke sport wheels. They also had sculpted body trimmings. (i.e. different front bumper, side skirt, slightly different rear bumper) Oh, can't forget the sportier suspension, sport seats, blue tinted glass. It's actually called the C6 sport package for the older w203s.

Not unless they're from an '03 or '04 (not '04.5) C230. Remember they didn't have the big brakes and were still considered sport models.

It's a 2003 model, here's a blurry pic of the rims. Please tell me if this would work, and if it does work, if you think anyone will notice.

Uhh, about the ebay thing, you can PROVE that it doesn't work for your car if your car was specified to work with the wheels...

OR you can eat up the 160 charges

OR you can resell them - unlikely

Otherwise, good luck

Yeah at least you saw the humor. Damn mbw is alwasy trying to hide sections from us!

Those look like E55 wheels. 285 will be too wide for the rear. I think the biggest you can fit on the rear is 265. I haven't seen anyone put the e55 wheels on the C but it may work, i'm not sure. I know for sure the rears are too wide though.

Just have Wheel Crafters powder coat the center black or what ever and leave the lip polished! They will look good then.

NZO wheels

Hei. I need a set of wheels and I like NZO. I would like to find out which one do you like better: PINO or Corsa?
Also if you have any of them how is the quality on them? Are they considered heavy?
