newbie needs advice on wheels and tires
I have a C240 and I'm ready to upgrade my wheels and tires. I'm currently running on stocks. I find the AMG double spokes to be really nice and I guess I'm a wannabe C32 AMG owner.
1. Where can I purchase AMG Double Spoke 17"? the real ones not replicas. any good on-line sellers?
2. I found some on ebay but it says OEM, what does OEM mean?
3. What tires should I use on them? what size?
4. How much should I spend for a wheel and tire package? for it to be a good deal.
thanks for your help guys

depends on the weather
here are your answers ....
#1.) The Tire Rack or give me a call directly
#2.) OEM means Original Equipment manufacturer but, the seller should have typed "OE" which means original equipment
#3.) 225/45-17 front 245/40-17 rear
#4.)
... it's your money ... it's your decision ... but, I would recommend you buy them new and not used because either way it's a good deal of money and you want to get quality products for your car
