So I've been searching for a set of wheels for my C that should be arriving in the next few weeks. I'm undecided between these four styles. Did some photoshopping on a Palladium Silver W204 I found on google images, so if it's someone here on the forum, thank you! Hoping to make a decision by tomorrow and put in an order as they will take about a month to get here. Let me know what you guys think, please vote above!

Work Gnosis GS-1


Work Gnosis GS-2


Work Gnosis GS-3


Work VS-XX

I was debatting between the first threee and went with 2. Looks like that is the concensus so far.

What are they going for?

What are the specs on the wheels? size? weight? forged?

My local tuning shop said it's about $2800 + $500 for shipping via air to receive them within a month. If I shipped it by sea, it would take about 3 months. Specs are custom, there is a wide range to choose from. They are made to order so you can choose whatever offset, etc. you want. Not sure about the weight, but they are two piece cast according to their website. You can check out their full line at www.workwheelsusa.com I asked about HRE's but it's double to price.

I love Vs-XX but they arent doing it for me on this Palladium Silver W204, maby because its too high or just the color.

The spokes seem too short...seems like the center of the rims come up to high to meet the spokes.

I think I'll be inquiring about the GS-1 and GS-2, see what the wait time is for those two wheels. Thanks for the help everyone! Probably going to go with the Matted Silver finish on them, they should match up nicely with Palladium Silver.

I am a sucker for 5 spoke rims . . though I've always had mesh rims in the past

Definitely go for the GS-2

Yeah the GS-2 look great on the car. My only gripe is they look similar to the 18" AMG wheels that come stock on the C350. But I think the cleaner spokes and hardware will make it look better than the stock ones.

GS-2.....looks sick

gs-2...by far

GS1.

GS2. But get a written guarantee that they'll be able to mount and power balance without weights added.

Wonderful.

I like the 1s. They all look good, but split spoke 5s are a bit common now and like everyone has mesh aftermarkets.

Thanks for the help everyone. I had a tough time choosing between the GS-1 and GS-2, but I finally decided on the GS-2 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear in Matted Silver finish. I thought about Matted Gun Metal, but they looked a bit too dark. They will be sized from the factory for perfect fitment, I got about 4 weeks until they show up. I ordered from Tunerworks here in Calgary, they do fitment for all sorts of exotics, so I have a lot of faith in them. Got my VIN and model number down so they can get the exact specs required so that it fills up the wheel wells nicely. Can't wait to get these in! Actually, can't wait to get my W204!!! Was on a boat a few weeks back, so it should be here soon.

first pic of the gnosis i seen in the states, and i have seen them personally at Work Wheels USA. The design is beefy, and aggressive.

I can direct anyone interested to a vendor in the east coast, air freight is optional, socal has other options.

AkaSigFreak

I like the GS-1 or GS-3. The other styles look too common. Love the finish.
That IS-F is amazing!

Petje

gs-2 for sure.....

mdniteangel

the second one is by far the best looking one

Word up fellow Calgary MB driver!

I have a set of GS1's coming for my E55. Should fit pretty sweet! Tunerworks is the shiznat - those guys are good stuff. I'll post some pics when i have them mounted in spring.

Cheers,
