WTB: W210 Rims
My mom has 1997 E320 and her factory chrome rims keep on getting corrosion and leaking air. We had them fixed multiple times. I am looking to get her factory silver rims either from a E320, 420, sport or AMG wheels with tires.
Thanks

There is no such thing a "factory chrome rims" because Mercedes prohibits chrome plated rims as a safety hazard.
The reason yours are leaking is because they have been chrome plated.
You'd be better off getting painted rims like those the car originally came with.

Well the dealer sold us these wheels in 1997 and they repaired them a few times at no cost. It is now getting annoying. Well in 1997 we didnt know much about chrome wheels and didnt know that MB didnt allow chrome wheels. It was a dealer option. Learn by our mistakes.

That is a shame...the repair job that they performed must have been lackluster, at best. Never in my personal experience have I had chrome wheels leak and corrode on me. But then again, I polish, remove, and inspect my chromes at least twice a year (I switch off b/w winter and summer wheels). All of my chrome work gets sent out in Cali to a guy named Eli at Fast Forward Wheels. This guy does a spectacular job on re-chrome and repairs.

I still have a set of 17" Sport rims available, with Michelin Pilot Sport All season tires that have about half tread remaining. These come with a set of brand new center caps that I haven't put on yet. I posted pics on here in the past.

If anyone in/near NorCal is looking, I will have a set of factory 16's available with 215/55 Bridgestone Turanza's in excellent shape, with lifetime balance/rotate/flat repair/replacement waranty from America's Tire Co.
Just gotta wait a week or so for my new tires & lug bolts.
