Help me decide!
I am torn between these two rim choices for my 2002 white C320 wagon:

1.



...or 2.




Thanks

Second for sure--brushed and less busy is classier, doesn't beg/plead for attention like the chrome plated spider webs in the first.

I like the 1st ones but I agree with Frakctured I do not like the chrome. I am looking for some like the 1st but all black!

17" is a good diameter wheel for the w203.

I agree with the comment above, I never was a fan of chrome. I like to go suttle but make a statement.

Thanks all so far. Like the first set as a retro feel to the late 80's deep dish craze on Benzos. But the AMG are, as stated, a nice understated rim. And 17's due to practicality of driving through pot- holed Houston. Ordering today, stay tuned...

As always, pick the lighter option. Your car needs all the help it can get.

Hmmmmm. . . i guess between those two, the "AMGs" would be my pick. Although ive never seen those before, Im guessing they are reps.

I really think the semi AMG style looks better on a W204. Too edgy for a 203. I prefer the AMG Type IV split rim style on a 203 & some lip.

But Hey! - It's personal.

My humble personal opinion is that the stock 5star c230 sport rims are the best-ever look for a w203
