Rims of choice

I'm considering getting some rims for my car since the stock ones feel a bit heavy and are somewhat faded now. What rims are you guys using or what rims would ya'll recommend?

Have a look in the picture thread and/or the wheel and tire thread of both this section as well as the regular W203 section. If you want light weight, OZ makes some pretty light wheels. I am sure there are others, but I can'think of the name.

I always forget about BBS wheels.

Tire Rack has the OZ Superlagga (sp?) on sale. I know the 19" weighs just a shade over 20lbs. Not sure about the 18" version.

alot of benz drivers, AMG and not, have used TSW Bremmas (myself included - these are replicas of the SL65 rims) - but i heard they were recently discontinued... however you can probably still find them on ebay or elsewhere online, or from members on here...

let us know what other rims you had in mind!

I was definetly looking at the BBS LMs. I come from the VW world and thats pretty much all the dubbers use. Also I'm not trying to do too many mods to the car as far as fender rolling or spacers. I want to keep the car as stock as possible with the exception of the rims. I'll check out the ones ya'll have named. Mikegpr03, are those chrome LMs those things look sick. If so, where did you get yours?

Oh one more thing whats the wheel pattern/size on our wheels?

between et27-et32 on the fronts with a 8.5" wheel and around et35 on the rears with a 9.5" wheel. do your own math if you are looking at a 8" or 9" wheel
