Silver W210's????
Hola everyone. I was curious to see if anyone out there has a silver Eclass w/ chrome rims. As some of you know, I just bought my baby about 2 weeks ago & am now in the process of deckin' it out. Started w/ the tints, now the custom stereo, & finally 18" rims/tires. Some of you have said that I should get polished look w/ silver, but I just want to get visuals. Also, I'm not lowering the car, so can I go w/ 18x9.5 all around? Thanks guys.

No complaints here....!!
I happen to think silver(my case, Quartz silver metallic) is an easy color to keep clean,looks nice even when dirty.My wheels are brilliant silver w/stainless lips,I think you can get the idea.

Silver on Silver Carlsson 1/6....I like this look (yo Jimmy 
!) - kind of matches the body color very nicely but the polished look is also nice:

Another Carlsson, 2/6 Brilliant Silver finish (shinier than Jimmy's silver paint and same as Stemag's), looks good too and I'm torn between this finish and the polished but I think all three works well:

BTW, IMHO don't do 9.5 all round if you have the choice.
Too wide for the front (Kicker may be able to tell you about his probs) and takes away steering response and pickup. 8.5 or 8" (around ET31-35 would be fine) in the front would be fine and 9.5" rears is a good size for a good balance between handling and pick up (approx. ET38 should be fine). Good luck on your choice.

Ok guys, thanks for all the pics & advice. I now I'll have to go 18x8.5's all around for the 4matic. Whitey, those chrome AMG's in your pic look solid. Thats an option that i never even thought about. However, I do like the polished look too.........Decisions; Decisions. I will keep all of you posted w/ pics in the near future. BTW, you guys have some sweet rides.

9" Goodyears
These Max-Perform F1 GS D3's Im using are 5/8" wider than the Turanza's I sold, 9" all around to be exact.I find they find the ruts in the pavement and you gotta hold on sometimes to keep em straight.But they look nice,great performers in rain and dry roads,and ride is smoothest Ive had yet. Whitey,you think this is acceptable?
I havent noticed a decline in steering response,they do what I want them to.Interesting how you can get a different width tire from certain makers,when you use the same description sidewalls.

guillermo, personally I wouldn't do chrome with a brilliant silver body....it goes well with black and darker colors and white....somehow not too well with silver, but of course that's JMHO.

'04 Silverado Z71 - sold all my Benzes and need another!
Thanks for posting the pic. Dave. I agree, silver or even black on a silver Benz, no chrome IMO. I have a high polished lip on my 1/6's now and I like it a lot but that's as far as I'd go. 9.5's in the front?! No way, those will rub all over the place if you can get them to even fit. Also yes, MY00+ W210 wheels will fit our cars, the specs. are the same.

Hey guys, any feedback on these wheels would be greatly appreciated. I love the shine on these babies. If I got them, I would make sure to do 18x8.5 all around. Also, if any of you have these wheels already, please send pics. BTW, have any of you done business w/ the wheel exchange? Thanks again.
