I have been looking forever to find the just right set of wheels but the offsets for the W204 have seemed to stop me in my tracks everytime. I think I have finally found something as VMR is now making the 710 with the proper center bore and offsets for the new C Class.
Could someone with a bit more skill than me please photo shop the 710's onto an Iridium Silver C Class? Also, I would like to hear opinions on whether or not the design is a little too "BMWuey"...lol
I have always like a good five spoke and a good "birdcage" look so these may finally do the trick for me but wanted to get some differing/confirming opinions.
Thanks

Check out www.adv1wheels.com they have rims of similiar design, with correct offsets, be warned they are pricey.

Sorry, it's not the best

+1 If I start at the ground and let my eyes wander up, those wheels do lead me to expect a 3 series. There's something about the semi-circular end of how the adjacent spokes connect at the hub which seems odd....too "pretty/delicate".

Dynomite, your wheels look great!

Thanks

Thanks Dynomite!
I like them but not sure if they are quite the direction I want to go...I kind of agree with Sportstick about the look but I was thinking more "lightweight" than delicate...lol.
So far the two front runners are these and the Munichs from formymercedes.com...

Guess I will finally have to do something once my stock 17s wear out.

id go with the vmr's.. everyother c class has a typical 5 star wheel.. or amg rep.. be different

Sportstick

Classic beauty is classic beauty. I don't quite get being different just for different's sake. I've seen the new wheels I just bought before....I just haven't seen anything I like better, so regardless of whatever anyone else has, put your personal favorite in your driveway!

They remind me of the Work VS-XX.

If you have the budget, $2500-$3500, go with the Works. If not, then I guess these are probably the closest thing to the Works. I digg it, but would love to see a set of Works VS-XX on our car.

You can also look into BBS LM replicas. They have a birdcage/spiderweb look to them as well.

I have nothing against a 5 spoke wheel, i had 2 sets b4 i purchased my newest ones.. just that some of them, like amg reps look stock and boring.. i understand that some people like a more plain/clean look.. just my opinion if im buying aftermarket wheels there gonna be something that doesnt look like it came stock with the car.. if we all thought alike every1's car would look the same..

dynomite05

Big, you still have those tips?

bigigg

Yes, I have to double check exactly what I have.. I believe its 2 AMG tips and 2 non amg..

Sportstick

I completely understand....this is just another example of what makes this forum so interesting....a variety of opinions!

I would be fine if every other car looked like mine...I think uniqueness for it's own sake is highly overrated. "Same" doesn't matter to me if I like what I have....but then again, let two women show up to the same party in the same dress, and look out!!

Shoot me a PM when you find out. Thanks

Just so everyone knows, the VMR 710's will not fit on the W204. Although the center bore and lug pattern are fine, the center hub is too long and will stick out from the wheel. I talked to VMR and they said there is nothing they can do unless they alter the design of the wheel to get them to work for mercedes...any they stated that they have no plans on doing so either.
