Just installed a set of W211 wheels I bought Benz-o-rama. What do you all think?
I'll Probably will add more pics later on.

Ozcan

Looks very nice.
Enjoy them.
(How much did it cost you if I may ask?)

Chris27182

about 900 shipped. By the time I started looking at these rims aftermarket plus shipping plus tires and mounting I saved a good amount of money buying these over aftermarket plus their OEM.

Ooooohh, I like. It looks simple, clean, and tasteful especially on a w210 body.
It actually looks more at home on a w210 than on the w211 (E320?) it came from, IMO.... almost like old school too.

kdude87

very nice chris, i like the fact that they look simple and clean.....are they 18s?

Chris27182: Are you going to the fall Central FL GTG on 9/27 in Orlando? You're not too far away...

I usually don't like any wheel modifications on any MB (AMG excepted). I always like the originals the best. Yours look great. Original MB yet unique to the w210.

Red66GT

Those look great! Very classy.

fosmith

Very nice! These are one of the few non original wheels that really improve the look of the car, IMO.

Did they bolt right on or did you have to use any spacers or different size lug bolts? What year/model W211 did they come from? What tire size are you running with them?

Thanks,
Fred

Hey you need different size lugs. They came from a 2005 E500 I believe. Tire size is 245 45 R17 I know its been asked a lot in the past so here is a direct link to the lugs I purchased.

I did the same, they look great on the W210.

Badwayz: Welcome to the board!

What springs and pads are on your car? It looks slammed!

BADwayz

Thank you, it's good to be here.
Slammed, ha, you should have seen the BMW 5 series with coils I sold to buy this car, was a good inch or two lower.
I have the H&R cup kit with number 5's front and 4's rear. Was going to go with smaller pads, but the front is already tight as a drum with the wheel turned. I like the way this setup looks as is, and I could hardly notice a difference in ride quality.

Here is a pic of the pass side wheels painted satin black with carbon fiber caps. I think the rears need a spacer to compliment the look better, but I am happy with the way these look until I can get my hand on a set of 3-piece AMG's.

I just bought some W211 wheels too, after researching the tires, I put Toyo Versado LX's on them, and they ride very quiet and smooth!

"Here is a pic of the pass side wheels painted satin black with carbon fiber caps."

They looked 100x better before you painted them, now they just look dirty imo

BADwayz

[QUOTE=gqmagic;3079181]I can respect that opinion. I think the chrome accents throw the wheel color off as well. I like the satin black, but I'm not sold on it (hense why only the pass side wheels are painted). I love the wheels, but I don't want them in silver like all the others. Any suggestions besides silver?

Benz-O-Rama

Glad you're enjoying them, Chris.

I never heard back from you after your received them, but it looks like you're satisfied with them. I miss those Michelins. They're without a doubt, the best tire I've ever driven on.

Car looks great.

roach_juts

Bad boy effect with a clean & classy attitude!!

tianh

where did you guys buy your wheels?

especially tpowell2 they look AMAZING, what was the price and are they 18s?

Thanks

tpowel2

Thanks! I got them off Ebay, they were $500. I think they are the standard 17" W211 E500 wheels.

SLOPESTAR

I too have been looking at the 211 takeoffs. I found some stock 06 five spoke/ looks like the amg but only a 16 inch rim new for 600 bucks locally. i think with lugs, ill pull the trigger

socalsounds

Make sure you get the right bolts! Mine...

ron m.

This is a great picture! What camera did you use?

SLOPESTAR
