even chromes are inappropriate for that car. stick with silver or polished.

I think that word can be found in the ricer's dictionary as:
"a wanna be AMG" who posts in the wrong forums.
These are MB forums, not Jeep.

Too much beef on the tires for those to be 20's. Youd expect a 30 series or less if they were 20x8+. They MIGHT be 19's but I doubt....Ok they may be prolly something I will NEVER do but I wont insult(trying REAL hard....)but look at this, he has everyones attention and that is ultimately what did guy is looking for. Not a refined car, not a nice euro sporty look but he managed to get us all looking lil romeos
car. Bling Bling YO!!

I don't really like spinners but that's cool if you like it since it's your car and not anyone elses'... but could you stop talking about how many girls you can get because of your car? If you need a car with ugly spinners to get girls then... :o and if you paid 5 g's for those then...

These are spinners with adaptors people....
Dude, if you spent 5K on these you got taken for a ride...spinners without adaptors don't cost that much anymore.

c230ksc, your car looks different, I've never liked a car with 20s, spinners look cool though, they'd look better in 18s IMO.
Anyway don't pay attention to all those guys that just criticize and attack you with their comments, as long as you are happy and girls stick to the car like a magnet it is all gooood!

Sorry Man, I am going to call your bluff. First of all, no way you spent 5 grand on those. They look like they are 17's, 18's max. If you paid 5 grand, they saw you coming. I wouldn't be bragging about that. Second, A friend of mine owns a rim shop here in Dallas. I have seen many vehicles with spinners that I like, and some that I don't. Sporty cars do not look right with spinners. I have seen probably 3 corvettes with 20" spinners, and they looked almost as bad as yours. To be honest with you, yours look like those new spinning hub caps that Pep Boys sell. Spinners were made for 20" and better. If you were to put 24" spinners on an escalade I would tell you it looked tight, but to put 17" or 18" spinners on a two door coupe. Come on. Don't get me wrong, I like spinners, but it has to be on the right vehicle for me to appreciate it. Some story would go if you put 20" spinners on the same escalade, it just looks to small to try and grab peoples attention. If you like them, that is fine, but remember you posted it up and we replied. If it were me with the 2 door coupe, I would of slapped some 19" something under there with an H&R cup kit, and be a lot better off.

Woow thats tighter than a virgin!!! I was going to get those too until I stopped doing drugs :p What i find funny is i think the only reason this guy gets the spinners is to get girls. It's like he can't get a girl without showing them his 16 inch spinners. Probably making up for shortends somewhere... Hey at least he's a golddigger's best friend! What a way to ruin a Mercedes....

I hate to admit it....
Those of you who have been around long enough will recall how a certain "Dr. Iggy" and his cronie C240 owners said the C230 Coupe would lower the esteem and demographic standard of the average Mercedes owner. He said this would be "the Chryslerization of the brand" he so loved. He said the Coupe would bring a lower, undesireable class to the marque. He disparraged the people who had ordered and were waiting for their '02 Coupe to arrive (as there were few of us in mid 2001) as 'wanna-be rich boys' with no class or taste.
We argued that the Coupe would not do that...We chided him to the point where the only ammunition he had left was to call us racist for disagreeing with him. But in light of the photo's shown on page one.....
MY GOD, THE FLAMING IDIOT WAS RIGHT!
Paging Dr. Iggy!!

i dont like the car (with those wheels) either but dont be such a snob. wealth does not equal class or taste. there are plenty of rich people with no class or taste. and dont be so ignorant either. dont act like mercedes should be exclusive to the well to do. you seem to forget about the rest of the world in which Mercedes is just a very large manufacturer of cars. from econo box A-class and Smart cars to commercial trucks to S-class and Maybachs. indeed vehicles for everyone.
