Finally got new wheels - w211 on w203
#28
I'm considering refurbished to pristine condition wheels for about $1100 shipped. The rear wheels are going for $280 each and the fronts for $250 with $100 shipping for the set. This is the best deal I can find next to dealership prices over $2k. Any thoughts?

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 😊

Met up with DrFox and got the stock 07 Sport staggered "spider" wheels. Front wheels 816 revs/mile, rear wheels 810 revs/mile-Less than 1% difference in revs/mile. Ran the car over 200 miles since @ 70 mph+ most of the time-NO PROBLEMS. Heres the resulting look on stock 4Matic suspension.... .....Thanks again for all your assistence Sam!!
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.

2006 Mercedes C-230
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 !

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.
