I changed to E class rims

Well i got some E class 17 inch wheels n rims yesterday for a steal of a price.. The price was so great i had to buy them with Pirelli P6 tires... 235/45/17

They look so much better then the stock 16 inch rims that came with the car.. let me know what you think.. The car handles and drives so much better its crazy.

Ill post more later today after i clean the whipo

Not bad at all.

Did you have to do any modifications or was it straight bolt-on?

Were these W210 or W211 E-class?

Also, what are the rim size/offsets?

This is interesting, I always thought E wheels don't fit. This opens up a ton of possibilities.

I concur with Mu9enx - the early W203 C240/C320 (no Sport pack) had the most boring and ugly rims ever. They looked too small and too narrow for the body of the car and made it look dumpy. Those E-class rims are a huge improvement! They remind me of the rims on the 02-03 Acura TL-S. Can't beat that price, either.

Good luck with your interview, Kris. Let us know how it goes!

those are W210 E320 sport wheels.

again. some W210 wheels will fit and some W211 wheels will fit. not all of them will fit.
