TOUGH RIM DECISION!
Hey gang,
Need help deciding on rims. So far I am deciding between BRADA TR5 and BR5 sz 18 on white finish.
I have a white w203 with coils. Just about it.
I need deciding on which rim. Feel free to critic on what colors wheels would look better or even model/type.
Below are 3 photos.
Stock, BR5 charcoal (imagine this rim in white), TR5 white.
THX ALL

I think the stock wheels look better than those two styles and colors. Of course it is entirely personal preference. Are you looking to upgrade handling/braking or aesthetics? I would also check what the weights are of those wheels you are looking at. Stock wheels are HEAVY but plenty of aftermarket ones are also.

none... for now
Well, looks like they are actual 3 piece wheels so that's cool. That being said, I still want to melt every wheel with rivets down, real or not.
I vote neither as well. Also, I don't know if you've ever seen a white car with white wheels, but unless they are painted body color, it ends up looking half assed personally.

Noted. Tks for the advice guys. I ended up saving my cash and rejecting the wheels offer, and I actually have no regrets. At any case, you guys know I am looking for wheels or other alternatives. What would you guys suggest?

Check out http://www.powerwheelspro.com/shop/i...sort=2a&page=2 they are also a forum sponsor.
I personally like the TSW nurburgring's, they look good and are much much lighter than stock.

Cl63 rims. Personally I love these in black/machined face finish. Their sharp, solid looks add a little something to the curvey, subdued lines of the w203.
Edit: USArim has them currently. Their site is pretty good, because it generates an image of them on your specific car.
