new 19" wheels MRR GT5

Some pics of my MRR 19" GT5. I bought them from www.getyourwheels.com.
Ride is comfortable, but a bit nosier than my factory 17"
I am glad that I went w/ 19" over 20", since this is a daily driver. The car prob just needs to be lowered 1"

"thin"? Yea it is a little thin for the spokes, but I think they look nice. My fav's so far are the AMG ones.

Yeah, with the wheel/tire combo i have, the car should be about 1/2" higher than factory, so i might want to lower a little bit.

If the car sits higher, that means that the tire diameter is larger, and as a result the speedometer isn't reading correctly.

Does anyone know how to adjust the speedo? Is this something we can do, the dealer can do, or only a speedo shop?

I got them at www.getyourwheels.com.

I used a tire size calculator & the size is about 1/2" bigger than factory, and the speedo should ready about 2.5 mph faster.

Why does it say on the site that it's not for the W204? I mean I clicked on "W204" wheels and it lists a few types but not the GT5. Also how much did you pay btw? On ebay they have the rims and tires (GT5) for 2000$ i believe.

Ya, i thought something was odd too, so i called them & they said they had ordered them custom for the new C-Class from MRR... so i called MRR to see if they were legit & MRR said that getyourwheels.com was legit & that they did custom order them & MRR made the wheels specially for getyourwheels.com

So you can only get that fitament from getyourwheels.com. I paid the same as on the auction pricing.

These wheels are replicas of the Maya MRS wheel, the color combo is not a match for all car colors IMO.
