Got some new rims for my w203..

Hey guys ive been looking for some nice rims for a long time now.. ever since i saw the 22 spoke amg turbine rims from a sl55 i think i always wanted them.. but at like 1k for a used set without tires it was too expensive.. im a college student now and dont have that kind of money to throw around so i just planned on staying stock rims for a while.. i was looking for em all around the web and found a nicee set for a steall lol.. drove all the way to new jersey to pick em up.. traffic was a bit crazy took forver lol.. anyways picked the em and im happy as hell... i always wanted these .. now i have to get some tires for em.. i think ill wait till after winter... im gonna throw snow tires on my stock rims soon

He got a good deal on them...

LightDragon turn stupid mode off.

It's his car and he as always wanted them. Bremma TSW are kind of borring if you ask me. I will sell you my rims since you like them so much when I get some one ones. I was thinking of getting some Linea Corse Lemans.

is it just me, or does that look like an uncomfortably close fit?

rims look great! i can imagine they'll be annoying to keep clean.

the bremma tsw's are overused and overrated IMO. i like the uniqueness factor of these rims. they look good and there arent that many cars outside of the SL55 or SLK55 that have these. they look really sick on my buddy's C32 (silverbulletamg).

D1NO, lookin' good

white and whiter
it's fine. just get the right bolts. 225/40 and 255/35 18" tires. it's been done.

the SL55 and the SLK55 and the C63 multispoke are few of the AMG wheel that looks great on all models.

you know when you look at your car down the side, and it looks like your wheel wells are empty because your wheels are sunk more than an inch inside your fenders? yea thats not AWESOME.

those stockers are *** ugly and sunken battle ship sizes/offsets, i cant wait to yank mine off. these look waaayyyyyyy better.

d1no: Plz plz post widths and offsets for front and rear.

good choice, these wheels are sexy, one of my favorite.


post more pics when mounted.

thanks guys... idk wut LightDragon is talking about lol... i agree the stock rims r ok looking but therye not hot ****t.. mine were all beat up from previous owners but i tried to touch em up... these amg rims are way better than stock.. therye wider and give the car a better stance.. and way looking better too..

there is no tires on them for now since summer is about to end im just going to wait till winter is over.. i have to buy some snow tires for the "AWESOME" stock rims lol

to the post above i hate the sunken in look too.. flush is the ****t.. these rims are 18x8.5 30 offset front and 18x9.5 33offset rear..
