hello new buyer

Hello well I've been debating between BMW, MB, and Lexus, I finally have decided on the C300. I just saw it in person and I love the front end, such a beautiful car.

Going to throw some 18" Dayton wire wheels on it. Will post some pics later on if anyone is interested. Just going to get the basic white with chrome wires.

Check out this link: http://www.daytonwirewheels.com/luxurycars.htm

I've never seen any Benz with wire wheels before. I've considered some Asantis and Lorenzos, they look nice, but they are dime a dozen.

Good choice on the C300 - much more luxurious car than the BMW or Lexus.
Not so sure though about your choice of rims - it'll damage the look of your C300. Each one to their own, I guess, but the arguable looks aside, those are going to be a ***** to keep clean given the amount of brake dust the Benz puffs out. It's incredible.

Those wheels seem so wrong for the 204, or any MB.

Vogue tires have the yellow and white sidewall. If your going to consider Daytons gotta put the vogue tires..

Ahh thanks. The lowrider look is not what I'm going for, 14" deep dish and white walls won't be seen on my car. Although I do love white wall tires, I don't think it would look right on a Benz. Probably won't go with the Vogues. Maybe Pirelli or Yokohama, I haven't looked much into it.

As for keeping it clean, it won't be a primary vehicle. I guess it will just be used to take my wife out and **** off all the other Benz owners.

But I love wire wheels.

Does anyone know if MBs use to come with factory wire wheels? And if so what were the years?

I found this link on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...spagenameZWDVW

Was just wondering if these were knock offs or factory?

I don't know, I'm having second thoughts on the c300. The 335i is a sweet car. I like the looks of the Benz but I like the interior and performance more on the 335i. I'm kind of torn between the two. 335i with 18" Asanti 122s. Yeah I think I've made my mind up to run with the BMW. I might change my mind though again in the next 24hrs.

Daytons are so 1980's. It'd be probably fun to see if 15" wheels fit on the w204. I bet not.

Just let the guy do it. I mean if there is a kid in the block that wants a mullet now, would you say no?
