my budget is around $1200-$1500

Rims: $1500 max

I can get the tires really cheap down here so the total would be around $2000.

whatever you choose, make sure it satisfies numero-uno.... YOU....

ther are lots of wheels out there and lots of people with differnt taste... Make sure what you buy is what you like, and not what everyone else on the forum thinks will look good on your car.

Please! You don't need to spend $2k per rim people! They are plenty of wheel and tire packages under $1K total and thats mounted and balanced (not 19's but still)!

Go to tirerack.com or similar sites and look around...you don't need a Lorinser, Brabus, or Renntech...there are other choices.

It kills me that I see wheel and tire packages for a 24" chrome rim at $2,400 and you people think that 19s can't be had for less.

Here's 19's with tires that fit w203s...

http://www.edgeracing.com/product/bu...ea9a77bb8b7600

$1629 with Hankook tires
to
$1899 with Pirelli P-Zero

With several choices in between.

These aren't the cheapest i've seen either. It's just not a "Mercedes Tuner Brand Name"

for under $2k, you can easily get 19" brabus replicas... you can probably get them with tires for that price...

To me, if you gonna spend the big bucks on a nice Benzo, why short yourself with replica wheels? You might as well buy a Fiero (is that the right car?) and slap on a Benzo body-kit if you gonna go replica...

If you dont care a lot about replicas then you are very lucky w/your choice on the mono III. Right now all the 'bling bling' wheel companies(ie lexani, lorenzo etc) make a copy of that same rim. You can probably pick it up for cheap as the REAL Brabus mono III is EXTREMELY hard to get. If you have a black car make sure u get a black center as the mono III look w/black centers is just plain P.I.M.P.
