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
here are some pics of me test fitting them on the car
Damn barely a finger between the strut.. will that be fine?
My dirty *** "brembos" lol
Barely a finger between the inner lip and inside.. 33 offset
Reppin lol
and chopped to see how it will look when mounted..

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.

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.

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.

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..
