18" Monoblock's on W202 C43
I want to change my existing stock 17" wheels for 18" Monoblock's. What is the best way to go about this? Factory wheels? Aftermarkets? Tire sizes? My car is pretty low with Vogtland springs and number 1 and 2 spacers front and back. Any ideas or leads on wheels? I prefer new but would consider used if they are perfect and the price is right.

These show a 29 and 35 offset. Will that work vs 31 on the car above??

Where to buy the OE wheels for a reasonable price? Here's a 993 pic. Now where's Tony's?

These are F: 225/40 R19 and R: 255/40 R19 (9.5 offset). However, I can't recommend because the outside of the rear tires have rubbed in the big dips.

Take care!
