Wheel/Tire/TPMS question
For all of you out there who have put different wheels on your car, how did you handle the TPMS thing? Did you install the wheels/tires yourself as well as the TPMS or did you just order wheels and tires and have them mounted at a shop where they also installed the sensors?
Just asking because I'm thinking about ordering these: http://www.mercedesbenzwheel.com/c-c...e-mbz-303.html
from mercedesbenzwheel.com (fantastic site)
Wonder if:
1) Are these TPMS compatible? (I assume so)
2) Should I attempt the install myself or have a shop do it?
3) Get the dealer to handle all of it for an outrageous amount of money?

Those wheels will not fit your 2009 C300
1) You can use your existence sensors
2) If you have a tire installer machine you can installed yourself.
3) Any tire shop can install and balance the wheels.

Tank how do you know they won't fit? They don't list a lug pattern or offset. I did see that it said W203 above but you can get to them from the W204 list also. BTW valve caps for $39.99 is crazy my AD sells the same ones for 19.99.

Offset for a W203 is 34-37 some W203 owners have used 31-35 as well.
