That's steep. Trey paid $300 for the 07 rims on my car and $75 to have one refinished because it was curbed.

Tyre size front & back

Hi, can you tell me the default tyre size for these rims? Front & back?

the rear one is wider I believe. I have same rims but front ones are more in height. Thank you 😊

And Chris W211 wheels look great--BIG improvment!

Yes. Still own and in AZ. Over 270k miles. Working on troubleshooting a blower motor issue and relay issue as well as a suddenly dead battery - after the relay/regulator was replaced. Parts took FOREVER to get here from Germany.

Good Afternoon guys, I have a question. So I am looking to replace the stock 2006 C230s wheels with W211 wheels. I understand I will need new lugs & spacers. I found a company that can provide the lugs and they "think" I will need the 26MM lug bolts with M-14 head and M-12 thread. I am thinking 31MM bolts due to the 5MM spacers. Can anyone confirm this ?? Thanks !

As they say, to each their own. But do you really think these will look good on your W203?????

AGREED, looks good on the picture.

But, that means that your car needs more work than just slapping on the W211 wheels to make it look like that.

Do you already have the W211 wheels?

If yes, take one of the original wheels off and check one of the lug bolts by sticking it into the W211 wheel and measure how far it is sticking out at the back of the rim.

Do the same by measuring the existing wheel. You want to have as much sticking out of the back of the W211 wheel as on the original W203 wheel. Add 5mm to the distance for your spacer.

I believe the M12 thread to be correct.

You can also check Amazon for lug bolts, huge variety there.
