C230Kreepin'

What rims are these?

a3 german

the answer is in the back pages...

but they are RH ZW2, 9" and 10"wide 17's..

I hope to have this week the aero 2 at home...

C230Kreepin'

Sorry for having wasted your time, I guess I didn't look hard enough...

a3 german

no problem

and it's not usual to see that wheels on mercs, so I understand the question

C230Kreepin'

Are you going to be keeping those when you throw your Aero II on?

a3 german

no, the RH's have been sold, so I'm running on temporary wheels until get my aero 2 finished. btw, the car how it is now, waiting for new wheels:

C230Kreepin'

What rims are those? And just to give you a heads up, if I ever go to Portugal I'm stealing your car. lol. Even on temporary rims it's still bad ***.

lepez

your car looks good even on those rims... It amazes me how many wheel styles you are able to pull of with your W203 :p

I'm guessin SL (r230-type) wheels ?

a3 german

thanks people

yes they are sl wheels, 18"..

the important news..

wheels at home...

9.75 rear wheels with custom wider lip
matte silver paint
amg center caps

C230Kreepin'

Damn... They look soooooo good. Teach me the ways of wheel p*rn. =) Where did you get the wider lips?

phister

Depending if the wheels are 3 piece or 2 piece you can just buy new barrels and rebuild them. I'm ordering 3.5" outter lip for the rear to push mine to 10.5" and contemplating getting 2.5" for the front to do 9.5" in front.

Hello!

Even the SL rims are looking so fancy. Without your picture I could not imagine that.

But the new barrels.....man unbe****inglievable!!!!
Keep doing that!

C230Kreepin'

Where would I go about buying new barrels? Cause there are a set of Aero II that i've seen but need alot of tender love and care.

pmpalma

O carro ta óptimo pá. Parabéns

a3 german

obrigado palma


about the wider wheels..aero II dont have new barrels or new wider lips on the market.

I just could do that with custom work of a company at portugal, they "extrude" de lip in alluminium..so its an expensive but effective option and with that you can do exclusive wheels.

its raining in portugal, so I cant take decent pictures..but they are allready on my w203

Ola' !! O teu carro com as jantes do SL e' exactamente o que eu queria fazer com o meu C230. Mas enfim, comprei jantes do C55. O teu carro esta' mesmo optimo !!

obrigado cintoman

encontrei essas jantes ŕ venda por acaso e decidi logo ficar com elas...ficam muito bem dentro de jantes OEM...

um abraço.


hope next few days can take some decent pictures to show better the new set..

István

Hello again!

What was the ET of the RH rims? What size of tires did you use? Any spacers?
Thank you
The Aeros are coooollll!!!!

a3 german

thanks istván. the answer is on page 2:



"about my wheel specs, they are 17", 9" et53 in front with 25mm H&R spacers. they are really really close from the damper (koni) and really on the limit of the arches..

at the rear, I have 10" et40 with 20mm's spacers. fit perfect with stretched tyres, if I had wider tyres it will rubb I think..

front tyres are 225 45 and rears are 245 40. wish I have lower profile tyres , like 215 40 and 245 35, but for legal reasons in Portugal, I have to use the OEM tyre size "

István

Thank you for quick answer. I am sorry I haven't seen that. I red everything but somehow I skipped the data.
Thank you again.

Do you have more pics of the SL rims on your car? I have an opportunity to get a set really cheap near me. What thing do I need to make them fit right?

a3 german

sorry I dont have more pics :/

depends what deal you find..if they are all round 8,5 et35 you will need 18mm's rear spacers. same if you find a 8,5 and 9,5 set..18/20mms rear spacer and it will look perfect.

some pictures:

István

GOD! GOD! GOD!

a3 german

thanks istván!

well, if someone see this post and could help me...I will apreciate a lot..

so, could someone post here one really lowered car on H&R coilovers? My question is, I have 5/6cm lowered car (comprimid springs) in front and 4cm at rear..

do the H&R coilovers lower really more?
