I got a nice set of E430 sport rims with New Goodyear Eagle F1's for $405.00
I'll post pics when I install them. The rims are clean and no bends. The tires are brand new also. Very good deal. Good things come to those who wait.

No not those. The ones that come off of a E430 sport. With the polished lip. I'll post pics over the weekend.

I wonder about that ,Double ,the ones I have on my car,(Not the ones you see below) came off of an E430 Sport,and are EXACTLY like the ones in the link for
Ebay I posted above,except for the three star emblem in the middle of the rim.
Please post those pics,I'm interested in seeing how they look. Thanks

Rob,

I like those rims...those are the ones on some of the MY 00+ W210...
My car is a '96 E320, do I need to make any adjustments...like add spacers to fit? OR should I got for the 18" version

Good deal

This must have been the auction.

The set in dbenz's post look right, but OEM sport rims are 17x8 not 7.5.

The ones in this link are not sport rims:

Glad you asked Dbenz. Here's the scoop ,the ones on my car below are 18"s. Had so much trouble with the potholes here in NJ and NY, I took them off and
put on what I call my 'no flash,grandfather' (OEM) rims that came with the car originally. Then someone by the forum name of 'Tom Sawyer' had the OEM rims from an E430 Sport for sale here for half a grand. They look just like the link I posted above,except they are 17 inch Mercedes rims. They ride a lot better than the 18"s

When shopping for W210 5 spoke wheels that are taken off of the " Sport Pkg" ( unique wheels and different lower body cladding ) - remember there were two versions, 17 x 8 and 17 x 7.5 . Both came with 235/45-17 rubber.

2000-2002 E430 18x8 Sport Pkg Wheel flatter narrower spokes/duller finish



2002 E320 17x7.5 Sport Pkg Wheel bowed thicker spokes/shiny machined finish

MKW, thanks for the 411, I like the 2nd pix, the 17x17.5 better because of the finish. Now that we know there are 2 versions of the sport wheels....the big Q is which ones will fit a pre '00 without spacers Or any adjustments.
...are U saying that because of the lower body cladding we can't fit these wheels??? ....also, will anybody recomment the replicas as seen in the ebay post??? OR I should try to find MB OEM used ones????

WHITEY.... where art thou??? You are our wheels expert...WE need your input....OR anyone else that might know.....

thanks
thanks

ruffrob

Thank you ,MKW,I have the ones in the second picture on my car.....and the tire sire is as you've pointed out :235/45/17...... And there was no additional
requirements for those to go on my '97,in fact they took the same lugs,remove
your OEM rims,and replace the with the ones on the second picture...

OK I will post pics later.. I have to take them..
