Thoughts on these rims?

I'm really looking at these rims. They are Concept Neeper Moxy. They have 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 10, that would be perfect with 255s in front and 285s in the back. What do you guys think about them? Any other options you might suggest?

Thanks!

I have those very same wheels on my S55. They are Concept Neeper Moxy's correct? I think you will like them. Make sure you get the correct offset for your W211 and you will be all set.

PM me of you would like to see some hi-res photos of the wheels on my car.

Artem,

I would do 9.5" in the rear.. A 10" rim will just stretch the sidewall more on a 285 tire. For 295 you should have 10"..

Usually guys will go with the 10" because they want that extra 0.5" of lip on the back..

Keep in mind stock factory config on the CLS are 8.5 front with 255 tires and 9.5 rear with 285 tires. (I am mentioning the CLS just to show how they matched up the rim widths and tire widths)

Thanks Victor! I actually decided to go with 295s, so I think they would fit nicely on the 10" rear. I went to CCW website thanks to Jangy and looked at some rims there and what do I see? Your car in the gallery! How do you like those rims? I actually really like the CCW Classics (attached). What do you think about those?

As far as the Neeper Moxys go, I don't know their weight, so if they are over 30 lbs, I will not get them. I was thinking of going with chrome...

Thanks everybody for your inputs!

BTW: The Neepers cost 270$ each from streetdreams.org
