Opinions on these wheels...

These wheels with a luxury grill and stand up emblem on a sport model ... different than everyone else in north america (these are Canadian C250 wheels).




Like kanye's maybach...



More and more I'm disliking the sport grill, reminds me of this car:

I don't mind them majority of the C250's come with these wheels in canada. be warned the spokes one these are closer together and I have never seen a person with theses OEM wheels that weren't dirty as hell.

I got these ones because i like the multi spoke design Mandrus Rotec easy to clean made for MB and the quality is amazing.

I wanted the 19's C63 multi spokes but I have a 4 Matic and i don't want to mess with that system.

I should add they are pretty light they feel like there around 20 pounds, much lighter than my replicas I had before. there forged so they should be really strong

if you check the link theres more pictures of both colours on cars.

In canada I paid no more than $450 a rim so a bit pricy, but I'm really happy they are easy to clean. I feel like i spray the hose and just wipe away with a rim glove the dust just comes off, i don't need to scrub or use a ton of soap.

I have gotten a lot of compliments on them too.

I saw you talking about the lux grille, I'm so happy I went out and bought the coupe grille it looks much better in my opinion. The OEM sport one looks to filled in this one gives it a better more spaced out look. The lux grille is nice when its painted black, I've seen a few people do that.

I had these wheels. They're nice, but they collect all of the brake dust and are a pain to clean, which you have to do a lot.. because they collect all of it.




This is how they ended up looking after not cleaning them for a week.

I ended up trading them for some five spoke wheels. They are far less annoying to clean and don't get dirty that fast... also having them in black helps a ton as well.
