One with 4 wheels
Question Need advice on rims..........

Hey guys,

I have an 06 C230 SS, and I have to admit..........the OEM painted wheels SCRATCH like crazzzy. What is MB thinking???? I've been thinking about replacing the OEM's with some authentic Brabus rims or replica Brabus rims. I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice.

1.) I want to keep it as close as possible to the OEM specs so I won't have problems getting it installed and have no problems with the tires scraping the wheel wells. Will I be able to upgrade to 18s and meet these requirements? As you know the OEM's are 17s.

2.) Where do I find a reliable, reputable vendor for buying these rims?

3.) Once I find the perfect set for my car, what should I do with my OEMs? What do most people do with their OEMs? Do they keep them, sell them, or trade them in for new ones?

Thanks!
