Bremmer Kraft (tirerack brand) wheels. Opinions?
ALready planning on what wheels my c350 will wear.
Tirerack has their own brand. In particular, they have a fairly new model that is not only concave but somewhat BBS like. I really, really like them. They make a silver

and a black

WHat do you guys think? Like them?
Black or silver?
(on pewter)
Also, would you go 9" on the rear just for the look and traction or go 8 all around to be able to rotate?

i couldn't imagine myself personally paying that inexpensive for wheels, i'd buy strasse or maybe vossen. of course i'm sure you aren't in the market to spend well over $5k on metal alone.lol i like the ones karo put up though, it's my style.

Ive never had a black wheel, I used to think it washed out the look of the wheel, but I do love how black looks on a couple of the pewter cars on the board!

Actually the offsets should be fine. I am running 18"x 8" 32ET in front and 18".9.5" 35ET rear and clear just fine and I am low on H&R coilovers. No spacers invloved. The only issue may be backspacing as his calipers are bigger than my wimpy c240 ones. The posted backspacing measurements for the wheels are actually not bad.

As I noted earlier, these wheels width and offset wise, are a good fit on a W203. They will not stick out past the fenders.
There are PLENTY of W203 MB owners running 9" to 9.5" wide rears in staggered fitments and there are benefits to it. Most W203 staggered fitments offered by aftermarket suppliers are 9 to 9.5 in rear, so saying "there is no reason to run a 9.5.." is merely your opinion. 255 or 265 35 18's are optimal on 9-9.5 inch rears for a W203 application. 255's usually do not require fender rolling and 265 may or may not and are about as wide tires wise you can go on a W203.

cp, absolutely not. These wheels will not stick out past the fenders. Here's a pics of mine. They are 18x8 in front with a 32mm ET (Same as the bremmerkrafts) and and my rears are 18x9.5 35mm ET. (The Bremmerkraft rear is a 9 inch 35mm ET as well, so they will actually be inward a tiny bit more as in ~1/4 inch.

Nice wheels - correct offsets - There is nothing wrong with them. I run 17 X 8 ET32 AMG split replicas all round. Tirerack enjoys excellent volume discount. The biggest problem on the C Class unless you get stupid is inside clearance on the front with the strut dimple. I run 235/45/17 Michelin PS2's all round. At 245 the tyre will (just) foul the strut. See calculators on 1010 Tires website.
