Ordered NEW WHEELS/Tires

ended up ordering full set of wheels/tires mounted/balanced and with a new set of TPMS sensors at 48 bucks per wheel. Just under my budget

i had stagger. I want to be able to rotate my tires and make them last a bit longer. 19" well just too afraid i would ruin them fast with potholes and stuff

Good idea, like me you have 4matic so staggered wheels are a bit useless away.

In my opinion I think 18 inch is the best size for the w204, while 19s can look good, sometimes a bit too oversized and obviously less practical.

I Like the wheels a lot, would you mind sharing how much they were?

Yeah 19" or 20" was the look I was going for but with the environment here in PA i think 18" will do just fine.
I spent $1937.00 free two year warranty on the tires, if i damage them in any way and they can't be fixed i get new ones etc.
Once i get them in and put them on i'll place some pics.

17" OEM wheels and tires are going in the basement. eventually i'll get the one rim repaired from the "slight bent" and guess i could even sell them or maybe next winter put some nice winter tires. Either ways the new tires i got should do fine in the snow too.

Those are nice. I was going to get those also, but the gun metal finish from TSW looked a little too black for my w/ my iridium silver. I should be getting my wheels in about two weeks & I'll post them up also. Congrats on the purchase. Guess your woman gave you the OK after all.

Thanks guys.

mhad2480 haha the woman and I had to compromised. She had bought me the wifi/3G PS Vita ahead of my birthday for my birthday. We returned it.
Besides the only reason i wanted it was for a Call of Duty game which its not coming out any time soon.

what are you getting to go with iridium? I was thinking these would look good with silver. I'm not sure if I should get black wheels like these or OEM AMG 18s, sometimes I think the black looks cooler with silver.

I am still going w/ a gunmetal finish, but I ordered some VMR's. Their finish seems a little lighter. Got a great deal on them(cash price) from a shop in Santa Clara. Gonna drive up there and pick them up in person and talk to them about maybe being a vendor on here. Got them for more than $300 less than one of the sponsors here quoted me.

Good to stay clear of 19's, based on my Pa travels. Post how they feel when you get them on, compared to oem's when they were new.
