I have a 2000 E430 ,I like the OEM Wheels on it (5 slotted I guess it's called) But would like them in chrome. www.aaarims.com has these wheels and allows wheel exchange on them. Has anyone tried them, If not where do you reccomend getting these wheels that allows trade in

Thanks in advance

 

Where are you located? You can have yours chromed if you want and I have a great and inexpensive shop depending on where you live...

 

I live in Boston, One place said they could chrome mine but they send them to cali and it takes 3 weeks. thanks for any help

 

If that's the case then you could send them to the place that I suggested out here and get it done, but it's not worth it! There has to be more than one shop that chromes wheels out there. Look in the phone book for any metal refinishing shop and ask them if they chrome wheels. I am sure you will find one. Make sure they at least triple plate the wheels so they will last...Good luck...

 

maybe I should just go with the A.M.G.Monoblock in chrome know of a place to get them cheap

 

Now that sounds like a better idea all the way around! Are you thinking about 18's like on the E55 or???

 

Well I'm thinking 17's cause I just bought new tires. Unless I get an unbelivable deal on 18's with tires I'll go with 17's

 

True that. It starts to get expensive when you really get into all the mods that can be done to our cars. Good luck and have fun!

 

will Carlsson 1/6 Evo 18" by 9" fit all around or would I have to do 8.5 in the front ?buying new wheels isnt fun its starting to drive me crazy

 

Driving you crazy? (lol) It should be fun! Some people have used 9" wheels in the front and they fit fine (depending on the offset) but to be safe, I would recommend 8.5" in the front as I have on my 19's. The common offset on your 18's would ET35.

 

They have a 35mm offset . I was kidding it is fun just driving myself alittle crazy keep changing my mind on what I want.. These are new from a friend of a friend so I dont have a choice on the size they're all 18" by 9" .. what type of problems could I get myself into if any at all

Thanks again for your time

 

The only problem you may run into would be your tires rubbing on the fenders when you turn, especially in & out of driveways and over bumps. Since the wheels are your friend's, try them on and drive the car. That would be the best way to tell if they will work for you!
