18" rims to replace monoblocks? better looking designs out there?
Im thinking about changing my stock 18" monoblocks to another design wheels, i don't care if they are aftermarket I just want something different if I can find a nicer looking design.
If you guys have links or pics of w210 with nice looking 18" on the car to replace stocks please post them up....
thanks
I know there is 19" and 20" that are really nice but Im on a budged here don't want to buy new tires..

Ok guys i think I found some wheels but they are slightly diff specs
they are 18x8 front 32mm offset and 18x9 rear with 35mm
how do they compare to stock 18x8 32mm and 18x9.5 35mm ?
does that mean that new wheel will hide more inside the fenders since they are .5 narrower or what? also would stock e55 tires fit on these rims?
thanks

hmm i must of had my info wrong about oem wheels, if they r 8 front and 9 rear than potential replacement are identical.
I don't mind monos but with them you cant really see the painted brake calipers or brake disks...

It appears the fitment is identical to OEM. Do not forget to order aftermarket lug bolts with acorn heads (OEM is ball seat heads: 12X1.5X40mm). I has been my experience that aftermarket lug bolts should be shorter: 25 -30mm). Just food for thought, or be prepared. Our cars are a PITA when it comes to aftermarket rims. Good luck.

I'd jump on these and paint them black as a second set of Mono's , but I need to concentrate on dropping my car first.
Thanks though.
Good luck on the sale, i'm sure someone will buy them....as they ARE rare wheels!
Be sure to post it in the classifieds section also!!
