Here's a nice item up for bid
Here's a nice item up for bid for anyone looking to buy some wheels. I think it is a nice find because the lips are chrome and not machined like the rest of these wheels when you find them.

They look good in the pics but I would really check with the guy to confirm they are chrome. Most if not all replica's that came in black face had a polished lip.
Either way if the price is right they look great!

Wheels look like(polished) stainless lip. Big problem with the fronts. These are for next gen (209)CLK. Offset is 38. Its pushin the max, 35 is safe for a 208. You might have to roll your fenders on a dropped ride. Check it out before you bid.

Yeahyawh you could run 38's. Even 40's.. But drop it (2" or more) and clearance will definitely be an issue. Lowered, improves ride and drop dead look.

Hey I have run a lot of different rims on my clk about 6 different sets. The highest offset I had was 38 and the lowest was 25 when it was NOT lowered.
All I can say is higher offset is better in the front on a slammed car, so it doenst hit your fenders. I had my cabrio SLAMMED up until last season, and I ran 38 offsets no problem

-the stainless steele is more durable, doesn't scratch as easy as chrome.
-stainless is a lot more expensive then chrome.
-generally speaking, your find stainless used on more 3-piece wheels, rather than one piece.
so if you are wondering will someone be able to tell the difference between the two and ask you about it, yes if they know wheels they will.
