Hey i've been wanting to get a new set of wheels for years and i finally got these AMG replicas i luv the look and though these simply replaced my 17" OEM's i figured i'd save some $$ for a summer set which i'm hoping to be 19" BBs CH's still I really didn't want to make any changes with the wheels and tire setup for the 4matic ... especially for the winter Thanks for taking a peek .....

any more pics? the 2nd pic (the best of the 2) doesn't work

omgitselaine

Try again .... i was editing the picture sorry !

micropower99

They look sick. How much were they? And where did you get them?

omgitselaine

Thanks Micro

Actual AMGs i believe are anywhere between $3000 to $4000 and these replicas were under $1000 so i'm hoping they withstand the roads of NJ/NY and beside i'm looking to get 19" CHs sometime next summer yay

I got 17" so i could keep the same tires i have now but these do come in 18's and 19"s ....... see link below

TB5...

what rims did you have on em before? i vaguely remember it in your sig...

either way these make the car look real nice. do yuh thing woman!

omgitselaine

I had the OEM dual 7 spoke rims that every C300 comes with i think and yeah i luuv these wheels even though they're just 17" but as a winter setup i think they're hot !!! Thanks again !!

micropower99

Those are 17's? Damn they look bigger than the stock ones. Probably cause of the thinner spokes. Either way their hot. If you ever want to sell them in the future let me know!

Derspeed

They look like 18". There is a member that has 18" and they look like 19". I like 'em. Please reconsider on the CHs. IMO, they are the wrong wheels for the W204.

gratz on new wheels.

burnteggroll

nice ride with nice wheelz... =)

Richard2011

I agree. I don't know what you see in them.

omgitselaine

Thanks guys for the compliments

I know for most of you guys that 1" difference from either 17" to 18" or 18" to 19" makes a big difference ..... to think i thought that 1" meant more to a woman juust kidding !!

Well now that i see the 5 spoke design i can see why some of you guys don't like the CHs soo who knows what i'll get as summer setup now ?? ohh i also once considered the MRR GT1's and they're not too expensive either ?!

Richard2011

Those MRR GT1s look nice! Much better than the BBS CHs.
Like a snowflake or something.

FrankW

mrr better than BBS CH? you must be kidding....

micropower99

I'm thinking I might end up doing the same setup as you. Especially because those 17's look as if they are 18's and yet lets me use my stock all season tires

Petje

Looks good!! And they are really look bigger than 17"...

Good choice.

Merc-IN-the-Dez

Does size really matter??

omgitselaine

Cool You'll really luv the look of the wheels because i think the pictures dont do it any justice especially on my color combination with steel grey I guess this is what a forum is all about ....sharing ! Granted some may like the mod and some may not but at least if you get a visual one can decide on his/her own if that's right for them !

Thanks .... i was pondering whether i wanted to stay at 17" but like i said before i really didnt want to mess around with the 4matic setup right before the winter thus i stayed with the 17"

Ummmmmm ........................... YES

I am Jeff

I have to agree with you on understated on how the Steel Grey Metallic looks in pictures. When I saw the color in person, I canned the idea of iridium silver in a heartbeat and bought steel grey. BTW, nice wheels.

I wish you best of luck with the ny/nj roads. Everytime I wack holes i don't see, I'm feeling for my wheels and want to myself for not avoiding it.

micropower99

Just a quick question, in person do these wheels look like their bigger than your stock 17s? (Even though they aren't?) Cause I'm contemplating getting those or 18s but with those in 17s I wouldn't have to get new tires.

omgitselaine

I myself cannot tell the difference however a few of the guys i hang out with are more knowledgeable about wheels/cars have said this if that means anything. I say go for the 17"s just to avoid getting new tires for the 18" and get a nice 19' setup for the summertime instead no ??

C300Sport

Looking good Elaine,
Does the silver paint on the spoke match your car's paint exactly? Little lighter/darker?

c3nthusiast

She's so pretty I would have bought her the real AMG's. Woo!!! Hoo!!!

omgitselaine

Well i actually have a steel grey car and the wheels are just abut the same color with silver accents on the wheels. Take a look at the closeup picture above of the wheels Thank you also for the compliment !
