Best looking rims under $1k- your input please!
Hey All,
So it looks like like there is no way to fit LM Reps on my C32 based on the front brakes.
I currently have Roderick RW2 that the previous owner had painted charcoal and I hate them. Please give your input on the best looking wheels that meet the following criteria:
-19x8.5, 19x9.5
-Silver only
-clear the calipers
-under $1,000
The car is a silver C32. Your input is appreciated! Thanks, Mike

tough decision
Mandrus makes wheels for our cars that have the right offset and clear the brakes, or you could also source oem wheels from other mb vehicles i.e. sl55/65 or cls55/63 wheels. Finding aftermarket wheels for our cars can be challenging as most styles dont come in our bolt pattern/offsets.
Hope that helps somewhat

I just looked up the RW2s and they look pretty sweet IMO is it just the finish on them from the PO or you done with them all together? keep us posted on what you get..

SOLD - 2005 C55
Hey Mike,
I have a set of E55 OEM 19' wheels I don't need - it came with C36 I don't own anymore. I forgot the detail but they looks like below link with some chips - repairable. If you're local, San Francisco, CA area, welcome to check them out. If interested, $500 for set.
Was thinking I wanted E55 one day so kept it. I found out E55 was bit too big and bought C55![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

The TSW Rotary-Forged line is very light, very strong, and ~$1,000 MSRP. There are a few styles to choose from; mesh, 9-spoke, five-spoke, etc.
Mandrus wheels can be had for less than a thousand ($980 shipped) but are low-pressure cast. Look nice, but they're heavy.

Hey mike, how about a set of sl55 (turbine style) wheels? They are the same sizes you are looking for. I'm running them on my c55. Check out my pic to see how they look on silver. Clean!! Also got a set of c55 wheels if you are interested in those.
