Wink Need some good advice about wheels set =)

Hi peeps, im going to get a new set of wheels and tires for my car, and im pretty noob at this >,< ive never bought a wheels before in my life.

im looking for 19", and been looking around at discount tires, ebay, usarims, and few other sources.

but im pretty confuse now, because i dont know which one is better than which?

ive found some amg style on ebay with a good price, but not really sure about the quality. i also like the stance wheels on ebay. which im not really sure bout the quality.

so basically i just need advice from you guys, where is the good place to get a set of wheels and tires.

my budget probably about 2k for the set.

thx for ur time and ur help =)

im kinda tight on budget =( wish can go lil higher

im really into the stance wheels, which is listed for $1460 atm on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-BENZ-SLK2...#ht_8000wt_970)

is there any better deal out there for my budget range? >,<

35 offset front and rear will be pretty aggressive. I run 45 front and rear on H&R coils and would rub front and rear if I went 35. If you like stretch and poke and don't mind rubbing a bit they'll work. Otherwise I'd get +40-45 to be safe and not rub.
Here's mine:

Ok just confirm with me that you are NOT dropping your car, that is very important in deciding on wheels, different setups are needed for a lowered car than a stock ride height car. and second do u really like the stance wheels u posted? or do u like that style? Its best to go up top of the forum and spend a little time looking thru the official pictures thread, and also the wheel and offset thread, and find pics on wheels u like, they will already be on a C class so u can see without having to imagine. Post the pics or links here and I'll tell u what u need and where to buy for a good price

I would say yes they'll still rub, actually more than if you were lowered as negative camber is added when you go to coils or SS springs. Less camber means more poke from the wheels. If you go with a skinny tire you can make it work but you'll need a square sidewall or stretch to attempt to not rub. Like JTG said above, go look at the w204 wheel and offset thread to really get an idea of what setup would be to your liking. It'll really help you choose what's right for you

No no im not gonna drop my car. I will just keep the stock height. Cuz im living in CO, where it can be a PITA in winter season >,<

I really like the stance wheels, but also like their style hahaha

Dont really care what the brand is. As long as it has good quality and good style. Then i'll go for it

For a 2K budget for wheel/ tire package... You can find a good variety of wheels offered in 19 inch.

Here's a couple to look at:

Concept One RS8's offered in matte black, silver and machined




Avante Garde M368's offered in matte black and silver

I really like these wheels
http://www.mandruswheels.com/mannheim.php

I saw them on a W204 and they look amazing! comes out perfectly to the rear fender and just looks really nice. Wheels are definitely a personal thing when it comes to decisions.

you are welcome, I'm about to buy these wheels. I love the clean look, and how concave they get on the back. There is a fellow 204 owner that has these in two-tone, if you look in the pictures thread you'll see them

Tasho, you are correct. you need a +45 up front and a +48 for a 9.5 rear. For a 10" wide wheel we like a +52. this keeps things flush without rubbing in rear. we are a stance dealer and I can get those as well. I will PM pricing tomorrow.

The Mandrus wheel is by TSW. should come in correct offsets. A little more conservative me thinks
