Engine Noise

What hapaned with the grinding noise that your engine was having? I'm going Tuesday to the dealer to try to fix it.

Re: Engine Noise

I's been fixed (fingers crossed)
I can look up the statement, because I don't remember that part name they had to replace.

I dunno what is exactly different about handling because I've put these on rights after the soft winter tires.
What I do know is that I need more power

Thanks young

I needed to scale the photos down from 5 megapixels and the quickest way was to throw them into this photoalbum web-site/application, I wrote, that shinks pictures down on-the-fly and it also adds this (c) note as well

Looks similar to my AMG Split Spokes. I think the wide rear tire really makes the back end of the car look better on the C230K.

So these wheels are different than the normal C7 wheels?
Whats the width on normal C7?

is it just me or do those tires have a bigger space between the rim and tire. i like the low profile look with a thinner space between rim and diameter of tire.

wide is good but i think would look better if they where thinner. for some reason mine dont look that thick... ill go check it at lunch to be sure.

Are you talking about the sidewall height?

This is what the 17" rims and the overall wheel diameter dictate. If you want a lower profile, you must go with 18", 19", etc.
