Finally got my new wheels!

I recently had my c300 fitted with some matte black VMR VB3's 18x8.5 +40 front and 18x9.5 +45 rear. I love the look of these and love the fitment, even though i may get some 5mm spacers for the front just to get more of an aggressive look. I also just lowered my car with H&R Sport Springs but will switch them out with some Super Sports when i get a chance. Let me know what you guys think! THANKS!

- Chris

Pictures were taken on my iphone. I'll do the real photoshoot when i switch out the springs and vinyl wrap my window trim hahah.

I like the style of wheel. It goes well on this car. I would have gone with 19's and a different color. My personal opinion...black on black is played out.

I wanted gun metal but this was the only color they had and it was my second option. I'm going to paint the wheels eventually. I have a color in mind

Looks great Chris! You should also take off the chrome on the doors too! It'll look very clean once all that chrome's gone! I always liked mesh wheels. I'm debating on getting something similar. If I can land a deal on some forgestars that would be lovely!

Should have stopped by and said Hi. Always up for meeting up with fellow 204 guys. Just ask anyone in a Europrojektz uniform. I'll be at the upcoming Motion Auto Show in Long Beach as well.

Let me know what Forgestar you want and I'll see what deal I can get you. I see the Forgestar/IForged owner like every day.

That looks really good! Removing the door trim would definitely help.

I think this is the first C I've seen with VMR's. I was looking at VMR's before, but the sizes didn't seem to offer a staggered fitment. Are there any benefits of staggered over the same all around like yours?

My set is staggered at 8.5 and 9.5

These wheels were 5x120 with a hub size of 72.6 but then i had them re drilled to 5x112 and im running hub rings to fit 66.6

Oh. Sorry about that. Haha.

I was looking at the 19" sizes on their site instead of the 18" sizes. I'd still like to know why people choose staggered over the same all around.

EDIT: Looked at the sizes again, and there doesn't seem to be a 5x112 wheel for 18x9.5.

OP do you have any pics of the car from the front? some 3/4 angle or something?

I actually like that amount of lowering. It's subtle, yet there...

Is it just me or do you have like EVERY POSSIBLE HOOK-UP in the automobile industry? Haha, well ideally I would want 18" F14s (seeing as I'm only on eibachs), but honestly I might just roll on stockies until I'm more than confident that getting a set of wheels won't break the bank. Seeing as I'm a student in college...dropping 2 grand on tires and wheels would be considered just that...
