I love the OEM 16" polished aluminum wheels on the W208 CLK 320.



Has anyone ever seen that wheel on a W210?

If so, how does it look?
- Good?
- OK?
- God-Awful?

Any pics anywhere?

belive it or not I used to hate those wheels, but I saw them on a w124 and I fell in love with them!

I dont see why they wouldn't fit a sedan?

I was actually going to buy a set for my wagon, but got R129's instead

Yeah, I'm sure they will fit. I guess that I'm asking to see pics (or at least first-hand accounts) of that wheel + car combo before I jump the gun and start hunting for them. I'd hate to invest time and money into a getting a wheel that looks good on the CLK but bad on the E-Class (W210).

I hear you.
Honestly I wouldnt waste my time buying 16 inch rims for a w210, I understand these are better looking than the stock 16 inchers, but still.

that's just me though...

Why not research 17 inch rims? I think they would suit your car 10x better than 16's.

You're better off with 16-in rims as you won't suffer bent wheels as easily.

However, the CLK wheels are smaller (7-in wide vs 7.5-in wide)

Why not pick a 16-in wheel here:

I hear ya. For me, bigger isn't always better.

I've ridden 14", 15", 16", 17", 18", and 19" over the years (between 7 VWs, 1 Audi, 1 BMW, and 1 Benz). One of my favorites was a 15" ABT wheel on a MKIII Jetta. It turned heads just like cars with 17" (max at the time) did. Another favorite was the 2 piece 15" BBS RM on a MKII Monty Green GTI.

You can make some sick setups with smaller wheels.

I'm not looking for just ANY 16" wheel. I like that one on particular. Heck, I got a set of OEM 16" W210 wheels.
