Need durable rims
Hey Luke, I have 2003 W211 with 19" lowenharts LD5. I am planning on taking the rims off b/c one is bent and another the chrome is peeling. I am planning on giving the car to my wife and I need 18 or 19 rims that willl last NY driving. Any recommendations of rims that would fit the tires i have now? 245/35-19 F 275/30-10 R. How about the ASA st3 rims?? will they last?? And plus i dont want to spend alot!!!!!!!!!
thanks for your help in advance...

bending rims
I have had 19" rims & 20" rims with LOW-PROFILE TIRES on other vehicles which have not had as many problems as the Lowenharts. When you spend 5k for wheels, you expect them to last more than 3 yrs. NY roads suck!!!! especially driving into Manhattan...

I used to have lowenharts in brooklyn NY and I used to have flats all the time. You prob need a forged multi piece wheel or a good 1pc cast wheel. Either way I have had them all in NYC so you can PM me
