new wheels
So I got some stern 19'' rims and some goodyear eagles 245/40/r19 tires

What do you think?

Its ok, I personally would have not put them on a silver car. But that is just my opinion. What do you mean by they make noise? Is it a rubbing when you turn? If so it could be that you have the wrong offset.

I see your name is "aggiestckl" is that any reference to NCA&T?

well since you asked, I think they are just dreadful. Some of the least attractive rims I've seen in a long time. I'd burn them.

sorry

If you paint them silver it might look good.

nah no reference to NCA&T although a team-mate of mine on a semi-pro team did play for them.

Aggiestckl is a reference to del-val college..

It doesnt make any noise when i turn suprisingly it just is when im driving.. kinda sounds like mud tires on pavement

W210 (1996 E320) white
Totally unusual! I'd love to see the car in motion.

IMHO, MBs are the hardest cars to enhance w/new wheels. Monoblocks are about the only ones I've approved. Bet your dealer is gonna **** a brick when he sees those! In my experience (in the US) dealer service dep'ts blame everything on the smallest thing the customer does e.g. wheels, tires, wiper blades, wax

You might have a tire that has separated, or a bad tire. Change it out with a used tire same size to see, then buy a new one. Thats gonna be your cheapest way to find out the problem.
