I've been looking for new wheels after seeing OMGITSELAINE's set-up, which are my favorite wheels so far. I found a great selection in the Mercedes section at:

https://www.powerwheelspro.com/shop/about_us.php

But, none have the proper offset for my C300 Sport of 47F/58R. Talking to them, I learned they are expecting a new inventory of high offset wheels which should work with the W204 within two weeks. So, I plan to check back around the end of January. FYI for anyone else still looking for proper offset wheels!

 

thanks!

 

if only they made AMG style 815 in 17s... GAHHH

 

Not for noting but the AMG style 810's are nice and come in 17's !!

 

Look at the 818, if you must have split spoke....somewhat similar. But, as Elaine points out, the 810 looks great, and with a solid spoke will sure come clean and look better much easier! Can't wait to see some or all of these in the new offsets they have coming!

 

hmm..yea but I still think the 815s look better. Would the 817s fit in our cars? offsets and everything? I thought ours were 17*7.5?

 

Got to wait and see when the new offset wheels come in at the end of January!

 

yea.. i guess.. haha still a long time until spring comes along. As long as I am able to find new rims before summer time..

 

With spring/summer around the corner I am in the market for a new set of rims aswell . . Great to have another site that I could purchase rims from.

Has anyone stumbled upon a vendor that sells these?

 

They sell inexpensive chrome lug bolts too. I think a few members are looking for those.

 

Any update with these? I checked the site and highest offset is still 45.

 

I checked again as well. When I last called, they said their first container of new inventory of higher offset wheels was delayed in customs. I guess we just keep checking!

 

I have finally narrowed it down to the 3 choices.. 815,817 or 818.. but since they don't make 815 in 17s.. it'll mist likely be the 817s or 818s. I hope the new choices will good too!.. hahaha very excited! haha

 

Get two of each!

Those all look great, but when I see those split spokes, I just think about tiny brushes cleaning out brake dust! 810 rules!

 

I concur i like the 810's the most also and hmmmmm they kinda look like ...... mine !!! And ohhh on your first post about seeing my ummm "set-up" .... you did mean my wheels no ??? J/T !!

 

Yes, Mrs. Sportstick agrees that is exactly what I meant!

 

hmmm, yea cleaning will be a *****.. Does anybody have 810s on our Cs? I can't imagine them on it.. haha kinda like the c63 rims?

 

Look at the photo in Elaine's sig just 3 posts up....if those aren't from the same supplier, they sure look extremely close!

 

Actually it isnt too bad cleaning the wheels i have now the standard 17" wheels that comes with most c300s were more of a pain in the *** with the numerous spokes. One other good advantage i realized about getting my wheels is that with the dark almost grey steel like accents of the wheels it doesnt look anywhere near as dirty as before .... often hiding the dreaded brake dust look after just 1 day !!

 

How are the quality of these wheels, are they the cheap stuff? Their prices looks reasonable.

 

Their site says TUV approved...the German certification agency.

 

yea.. when people say worse quality than OEM. it means that it's easier to bend or break if you drive through potholes and such right? i've never bought replicas before..

 

I've never bough replicas either, but so to speak, many aftermarket wheels are either the same poor quality, besides the real high end named brand forged wheels. I am debating of getting the 18's AMG ones because their OEM and not having to worry about offset. I really would love some sort of lip for the back rim, but it is tough to find one with our high offsets, especially used ones.

 

For what it's worth, here's what they say on their site. You decide!

It seems promising! I'm just scared that they'll bend/crack easy...
