Kleemann MS 11
Here are my new 19" Kleemann's/Michelin that we just powder coated for my C300 4Matic with H&R Super Sports. Let me know what you think. I will post pictures tommorow when they are mounted on the car.

I came from the VW world, so this my first Merc. 3 Months ago I purchased a 2010 C300 4Matic and pretty happy so far. Really hard to find wheels I care for in a Merc offset/color/size without spending $4K.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I should pay the extra for Michelin vs Continental..we will see. Powder coating was a pain but then again finding a decent wheel at that price point/fitment was as well.

My kleemanns are 19x8.5 +45 all around. I might buy spacers (8-10mm) to make the rear wheels more flush with the fender.

My rear wheels have a bunch of brake dust on them right now, giving them a dark grayish color. Actually didn't look too bad and had me thinking about powerdercoating them. Too bad they don't make plastidip in "brake dust gray."

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at the group buy but I have a couple of questions.

Can you get them without the LED strip on the bottom? I am not feeling it.

Are these going to be brighter than OEM?
