The covers look cool but those things just make a mess. If your car is that dirty you should wash it more often. Then again, it never snows here so IDK if that would make them more useful. In the 135i they wash with the windshield and are guaranteed to make the car dirtier overall. The lights have never been even slightly dirty.

Welcome Marcedes, but the color of your car is appropriately called Mars Red. Can't get any better than that for you.
I just bought a beautiful 2006 C230 just like yours for the wife. I'm patiently awaiting a spoiler install from the dealer. Enjoy the ride.

Got me some wheels...

Alright guys heres an update!

They are

Carlsson 1/16 18/8.5+40 18/10+45

The condition on 3 of the wheels is almost immaculate but there is one wheel that will really need some TLC. However I think it was worth it for the price I got them.

Here are the pics! Your feedback is appreciated!!

I suffer from being impatient


They sold me some verdestin or vedrestin tires or something like that..
255/35/18 $150 each
235/40/18 $140 each

Do you think I got ripped off on tires?

Oh, you are now my sworn enemy! So you are the one that bought those out from under me. I saw them on Ebay, posted here to verify they fit, then the dude selling them closed the auction before I could bid.
