Question I CANT DESIDE WHICH WHEELS/TIRES TO GO WITH??

I want new rims/tires for my black 02 C32 but cant decide which ones to go with cause there are so many different ones out there...Anyone have any suggestions for some new shoes for it? I am trying to shoot for some either 18's or 19's(if not to heavy) within the $2k price range. Also, if not to much trouble can some of you guys post some pics of your C32's with the rims you have?
Thanks,
Peace!

For 2K you can get (and I know I will get S%$ht for saying this) Some used McHRE's. They will be the best bang for the buck. If you save I bit more you can go with some Lm's from BBs (my FAV).

Just my 02$

ya thanks man, I was just looking to spend around the $2k area but I will spend more if the wheel/tire combo looks/handles/performs good. Any other suggestions or any other members have any? Thanks again for your response!

If by some chance you find a good deal on lightweight forged rims, you'll really like them. My car just feels totally different with almost 10 lbs off each corner.

got anymore wheels then in that thread by chance? And do you happen to have any more pics of VM6's or the V715's on cars? How fast do they come when ordered? And what about tire packages?
Thanks,

with that kind of a price range you have quite a fair range of wheels to choose from. For a black car I like the monolights.

Then again, his black monoblocks look damn good on my car...

$2k with tire or without tire? if $2k with tire then you should probably look for rims that are around $1200-1400 range.

Are you currently running the stock rims? I need a second set for snow tires if you want to sell them.

yes i am running the stock 17 inch AMG rims, PM me if you or anyone else is interested in buying mine. I am ordering new wheels/tires today. My stock ones are in perfect condition with no curb rash or anything like that, and the tires the M. Pilots PS2's with about 1700 miles on them(give or take 100). I think I am going to get these, what do you guys think about them on my black c32?

mono vi reps are always a good choice. update your profile with location man. look through the classified section for those. I'm pretty positive I saw 2 or 3 sets of them for sale in the classified.

I got a pretty good deal for some 19X8.5 and 19X9.5 mounted and balanced with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 tires for $1,925.00. What do you guys think?

I got mine for about $1700 including rolling my rear fenders. But it also depends on what tires you are getting. I got the Kumho ESTA SPT's which are pretty inexpensive. I can't afford expensive ones so often with my rear wheels spinning all the time!
