Has anyone seen these on a w210 before anywhere or have any other pics of them on a w210 . I kinda like them and am really contemplating throwing them on . Think they look pretty hard .

They come in 19" or 20" and will fit W210

MBFLO

yea thats the same car i seen them on Pete , thanks ... thats like the only w210 I've ever seen them on ... I honestly have yet to see these rims on any Benz let alone any car out here in Detroit so far .. sure do look nice

I heard they're pretty heavy but hold up to the potholes.

MBFLO

Yea those were my thoughts also , dunno how much heavier they are then the 18 inch stockers but cant be drastic i wouldnt think . Just love how they look and cant really find another set of rims in that range that would look much better unless i went with a mesh style concave wheel sort of like CLS beemer style . Just think 19's will fit the ride perfectly and would go with the monoblocks in 19's but then what todo with 2 sets of same style lol . well see springs around the corner we just got 10 inches of snow so hopefully this is the last round and i cant order some new rims

MBFLO

with spring right around the corner the more i think about it the more i'm thinking about these wheels . I always try to make smart purchases and this one doesnt seem like it will, being the wheels and tires will cost a little more then a 1/4 of what i paid for the car itself with 2 sets of rims n tires . But im in that I dont care mentality right now and i want them for the summer .. I pulled into a Discount Tire store today to get their opinions on tire sizes figuring they see my car and how it sits and can give me their thoughts . Well seemed like guy didnt have clue bout differnt sizes n offsets n such just told me get the same size im running now but in 19's .. I told him are u sure because my car sits a little lower then stock and might rub out . He reply ohh no man been doing this for 10 yrs trust me .. I left with the idea he just wanted to sell me tires and that i seemed to know more then him when it came to this . But im tryin to find a nice staggered package set in 19's but am unsure what sizes to run . The rims will be 19x8.5 32mm & 19.9.5 35mm ... So the offsets are pretty spot on but will my car sitting a little lower dont know if i will be able to run stock 245/40 on front and 275/35 on the rears in 19's / i was thinking maybe 235/40 19 and 265/35 19 btw my car is only lowered by pads not springs IIRC from previous owners comments . What do u guys think ??

desired_speeds

245/35/19 with 8.5 +32 offset
275/30/19 with 9.5 +32 offset

along the lines of these^ would be fine. It's what I'm running right now. +35mm for the rear would be fine too, but my +32 rear is pretty flush without rolling.

MBFLO

Have u had any rubbing at all .. will 35mm sit out more or in more compared to 32,, in rear .. also what kind tires you running at those size .

desired_speeds

no rubbing at all. I have w210 fitment wheels. 35mm will sit in more. i have pirelli pzero nero tires... besides the 1 Michelin ps2 to hold me over for now because one tire popped.

i like em interested in a set too , maybee we could get a group buy!!!!!

MBFLO

group buys might be gone , be cool if they actually offered em , think they did em a yr or two ago when they first came out on the scene . some like to call em played out now but i have yet to see any benz in the state of Michigan with these on them so for me they fairly new around here .. either these or go ballin out with the 21 inch chromes lolol

btw i can get these for $1300 IIRC give or take 50-100 bucks in 19inch 8.5 30mm front & 9.5 35mm rears . this is just wheels without tires .. almost got a used set for 500 when i was in Florida last month but the guy never got back to me so ehh .. Theres another guy sellin a nice used 20's set for $1000 on this forum with some nice tires but local pickup only in AZ but i dont know if they will fit our rides .. Very iffy with these damn offsets n tire sizes gotta get it dialed in right or else you have spent some money and wont be to happy when **** starts rubbing or scraping and have to spend more to get it right ..

If your serious maybe we can find another guy or two and see what some places will offer us . My cash is ready to buy a set . Tires aint too worried spring aint fully here yet in my state so i got another month till I'd throw them ..

efrancin

the front offset is 30, not 32 like the ad says.... i just got a set for my 99 e320. email me for pictures or questions as i don't frequent the forum.

update ..

just bought a set of 20's of this style wheels
the fronts are 20x9 32 mm offset
the rears are 20x10 35mm offset
kinda weird but lips are 3inch front and rear but i kind like that
will the offsets be differnt being the rim is 20 inches and width being .5 inch bigger also ..
i was thinking going with of going with these size for tires
265/35 20
245/30 20
well see

MBFLO

Man sent this dude payment beginning of last week still hasnt shipped my wheels out . Almost tempted to call and cancel my order

MBFLO

michakaveli

nice!

Cant wait to some pics here !!!!

MBFLO

yea man cant wait to slap some tires ..from older posts ive been reading through and talking to couple differnt wheels sponsors here .Everyone one has had a differnt tire setup togo with .. And honestly im lost and stuck and dont know which combo setup to go with either the fronts are impossible to get or 300-400/peice for rears .

After testing all the tire calculations for closest revs/mile and closest diameter to stock tire size my numbers came up with
235/35 20 & 285/25 20 but those tires will cost over $1,000 unless i go with some no namers .
With a tire setup
245/35 20 and 275/30 20
my speedo will be off but atleast roads wont be so hard as previous mentioned combo. I think im gonna grip the Hankook V12's . And seeing as a member ran this same setup , and was lowered on H&R's and cut half coil and still ran clean makes me confident in my pursuit to drop the 20's .lol
SooN WELL see .. I just hope that 9inch wheel with 32offset doesnt buldge out the front fender ..
Also anyone runnign the hankooks v12's is the sidewall on the higher then majority other brands . Not sure if i asked that right .. Cant wait lol

MBFLO

Was bored and impatient waitin on tires , so I figured take the front wheel off and test the new rim to see how it look on there, after mounting I spun the wheel and noticed that there is barely maybe 1mm clearence from the brake caliper . So now i need to order some wheel spacers for the front . Would you guys think 2.5mm would be enough to or should I go 5mm or more ? Any help would be great . Heres some pics of wheel mocked up and of the clearance of caliper to rim .

The rims look GREAT!!! If they are not rubbing why add spacers?

MBFLO

When I mounted it I only tightened a couple of lugs and I can almost guarentee once I tighten all 5 and torque them it will scrape seeing as how close they were up close with what i could see

Peter_02AMG

You know these wheel you bought are not the same as the one on the W210 in the picture i attached? The lip support to be high polished and the spokes are different too.

MBFLO

Yea its a brushed lip . also 3 inches lip on frontsame as rears , naybe thats why they look differnt dunno they look almost same style to me

10mm just to be safe and u get a lil poke! =D
