Your opinion on these rims

I know the tires are most likely junk, but do you think these rims would look good on a 320? The price is outstanding. Rims and tires...680 shipped. The center caps would be replaced.

The rims look okay, but the spokes might look way too thin for a w210 mercedes. The wanli tires that come with those are also horrible. I would upgrade the tires right away.

Check out these Monoblock replica rims with chrome rivets on Ebay. I think they look really sweet - I've photoshopped them onto my car - if you want to see what they look like send me a PM. Hope the link works or copy and paste into your browser.

amazing how cheap those replicas are. They look good though.
This stuff coming out of China is getting better and cheaper everyday.

Those rims look great if you are trying to impress your homboys. Otherwise they look cheap. MB is a luxuary car, not a pimp mobile. Just my 2 cents.

the 2nd set of rims (17") posted by hollywierd are nice - i'm not really keen on the rims that bossman123 originally posted - imo. check out wheelmax.com - they have reasonable rims/tires pkg.

Those wheels belong on a Mustang.

Thats what I was thinking...I'll keep shopping. Looking for something different but truth be known, I'll probably end up with mono blocks. Can't beat a winner.

We have exactly the same car. I was looking for the 5-spoke wheels that came with the sport package in 2001. One dealer wanted almost $500 each and told me my 10-spokes might be worth $300 for the whole set because they were so common.

I placed a "Want to Buy" ad on eBay and 2 people responded. The best deal was a guy offering a set of 4 used for $1000 (shipping included) but he wanted to sell away from eBay and I was afraid to send him money, it just sounded fishy.

The other guy wanted about $1500 for brand new, but when I asked him where he lived (I wanted to make the transaction in person) he never replied.
