New Rims!

My old rims which I hated a lot


Then I got these, they look really nice and A LOT better than the other ones.


Anyone try to guess why I only took a picture of the back end lol? *hint* look through my previous thread.

These are made by eurotech, which means they are basically replicas. How ever, their quality is quite good. Even after the accident, all of the rims are completely fine. This is where I bought them

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-me...81693127QQrdZ1

they have them in chrome, but they are $700. The silver ones with the chromish lip is $500. And thanks for all of the comments everyone!

Did all that damage happen when they mounted your new rims? Did the car fell off and against a jack?! -jk-

Yes, the rims look much better. Now it's time to get the front end worked on.

What's the offset of those wheels and do they come in the staggered setup for the 18".

They look like night and day compared to your old rims which looked too cheap for a benz.

Good luck with your body work.

They are not staggered. But I do believe that they come in different widths, ie staggered. and thanks for all of the comments!

Update on body work: It turns out I have to pay FULL for the body work. It's going to cost like 6k probably

nah, they are not heavy. The stock rims are the same weight or maybe a bit heavier. The ugly after market rims are heavier.
