I got tired of looking at my stock wheels, so I tried on the wheels from my C230 coupe.

The Wheels: Mille Miglia Evo 5
Front = 18x8 et 35 225/40
Rear = 18x9 et35 255/35

- These cost about $850 a set when Tirerack was closing them out.
- Yes they have a center cap.
- I don't know how heavy they are.
- These wheels will be going back on the coupe when my Carlssons arrive
- The lowering will come, but not until I settle on a set of wheels.
