I decided to throw them on the w210 just got ****s n giggles, bought them for the w211. Doesn't match the w210 bodystyle IMO. What do you guys think?

19x8.5 +26
19x10 +22 (10mm spacer)





The pics make the headlights look worse than they actually are. They're quite clear in person since I refinished them. And yes, I know it needs a drop. I already got springs for it.

Blech! IMO, Not many wheels other than monoblocks look good on the w210. Maybe some Brabus or Carlsson...

I'm sure with an agressive lower they would look sick and i'm sure, silver coated looks more good to me

Where to start? The Italians or the Germans?
Wow nice wheels. Lower it about an inch or so all around and you'll be all set! Looking sharp!

The wheels would look awesome on the right car. Not a fan of the color combo. I think the 210 looks better with wheels that have more surface area. I love 5 spoke wheels, but the 210 looks better with seven spoke wheels at least, if you go that route.

Looks good. I think the matte black rims on silver body looks sick.....now you just have to drop it an inch.

Look familiar

Looks good!

But will definitely look better on the W211.

May as well run them now though.

+1 Monos are the only wheel fitting the w210 IMO or perhaps some BBS LM's I like the color combo thought
