I agreed the pics were taken under the cover at a gas station and the rest of the ground is wet from the rain!

Real nice,guy. I was thinking of changing my rims since at first the rims you see looked appealing,but after some time,they just didn't look agressive enough. Actually i saw a place that has the 18's from the newest C class,what do you guys think of those on a w211??? Photoshop,anyone???

Incorrect offset on those. Wouldn't fit without thick spacers. Not sure on the bolt diameter on the new W204 but the older w203 bolts were smaller than the Es; 12 vs 14 mm. HTH

Thanks for the info,amdeutsch. Do the thick spacers you mentioned affect ride quality,or anything else for that matter ? Thanks in advance!!

Can't answer that question. All I did was look at the different offset requirements and then did the math to make C match E.
