Arrow To keep the wheels or not?

At the moment I have 19x8 Axis Mods on my audi. They have a 3 inch lip all around. Offset +35. I plan on getting a benz sometime soon. Should I keep these wheels and throw them on the new car or just sell the car with them and look for something else?

is a c-class what you plan on getting? Well, either way i would probably just sell it with the wheels and get new ones. You can probably find ones you like tons better than these on your new benz. They look good enough to not hurt the vehicle in your re-sell anyway so you might as well not mess with it.

3" lip huh?!? I used to have 3.5 on 19x8.5 on my A4 Cabrio I would definetly sell them since they are not staggered. They do look nice though

As far as I know, even MB and Audi shares the same bolt pattern 5x112, still won't fit

sell the rims individually because you won't get any money by selling'em w/ the car. if you keep'em, don't know if they will fit or not even if they have the same bolt pattern, but I believe I've seen Audi uses MB/BMW rims.

any mods = losing money when you sell the car. you might not even be able to sell the car at market value.

Audis are 5x112

Yep, think im gonna sell them anyways..
BTW, the C class is not gonna change in the next year or so right? I know the 05 is a bit different. But I dont want to buy it, if in the next 2 years they totally change the body.

I think the wheels would look slick on a C class.

Sorry to sound like a noobie, but what's the difference between staggered on non-stag? I tried to find the definition on the internet, but gave up after 20 min.

Thanks

staggered = front is narrower and rear is wider.

expect the next C-class to come in late 2007 or early 2008. that's just my guess.
