Kleemann Wheels

Guy's, I am considering getting some 18" or maybe 19" Kleemann wheels on my 430. Wondered if anyone has them fitted to a W208? At £2500 (approx $3750) with tyres they are a bit expensive but I think the quality and look is a bit special (see the Kleemann w209 car thread if you have not seen them).

Thank you.

Thanks Lee. Nice pic, look like 19's?

Is the rolling diameter of a set of 19's identical to the stock 17's? Surely they must be give or take a few mm!

The diameter of any 19" wheel with tire is a little larger than that of the 17" with tire.

Thanks Ben, just read one of your email replies from last month and you say about .3".

My instincts tell me to go to 18 from the 17's and not 19's.

A CLK320 went past me yesterday with what must have been the original 18" AMG monoblock wheels and I thought that still looks the business. Nice and chunky and easy to clean. Should be able to get them at a good price too.

Decisions!!!!

By the way, I am glad I took your advice on the Kleemann shocks and springs, they do what you said. Many thanks
