Sorry that I can't furnish a picture, but I just put them on my E500, and I think they look great. I got the 17x8.5, which are the same size as the factory wheels.

You can get a pretty fair approximation by looking at the Tirerack.com site, which will display the BBS CH on a model of the E class.

One last point is that I bought them from Tirerack with tires mounted on them, and I had no problem in removing the original wheels and tires and putting on the new ones. The fit was perfect.

not sure yet!

i have the 209, the bbs ch was from my bimmer. Found out that the pcd is different and cannot be use.

Really, have not decided what rims to change to as the car comes with a 16" and i think it is a little small for my liking.

Talking 19" rims?

sorry, ride cannot take 19". I will go for the amg 18" for this ride. In discussion on the tire size as some of the odd sizes is hard to find in Sg. 19" is even rarer, was on 19" CH on my last bimmer.

Ok it's probably just me, but I've never liked any BBS wheels. They just look cheap to me.

yea id have to agree with that.. even though they do produce strong lightweight racing wheels... i think they lack in cosmetic appearances.

Wink Let me correct you there!

"kiasu" is the wrong word to use here. It's limited fundings and availability that impedes a lot of us going to bigger rims.

My fren, you have not run the scene for sometime i believe, MB modding is a extremely limited unless you import.

:p

I think its much much cheaper to ship your whole C320 here than buying another.

i know cars are expensive! hell our c200k there probably cost like 100,000 USD. but modifying is cheaper there! labor for painting and installation is much cheaper. also i can get rims and other parts there the same prices as i can get them here.

if you already spend 100Gs on your car... what is another 5Gs for 19" rims gonna do to you?

why you kia sars? no new cases what? even i am gonna fly back in a week or so.

Talking hahaha

You are correct, kiasu, kiasi and kiasars!!, the 3 "K"s to compliment that 5 "C"s. My CLK cost me USD125K for a small 1.8L displacement car. The extra $5k may not be must in relative comparision but some of the odd size tires, you need to wait for 1 month with special imports from Japan.

Hope to meet you in Sg and have "kopi".

I finally got around to taking a picture of my E500 with BBS CH wheels. This is my first attempt to download a photo to this website, so my apologies if I screwed it up.
