[farley556]

Has anybody seen these wheels before? I think they look good...but i dont know on a 202...they are 18's. they also come in black with polished lip, or all chrome...http://jdmmotorworks.com/rims/RVM/M839Silver1.jpg

I think those wheels are gorgeous... understated, elegant, & sporty in a simple sharp way. But on a w202, not so sure... their style seems inspired by the 80's 15 hole and earlier bundts... and may look better on a W124, W126 etc...
Might look good on a dropped W202 w a subtle understated body kit...... id love to see what theyd look like on a W123!

where did you find them?

[rollinrealbig]

ya I want to see them on a w202. they remind me of those 79' 300D's haha old sckool!

[farley556]

the black ones have the potential to look amazing on a w202... a subtle 202 with subtle period correct mods. Where are these wheels available?? Are they avail in any other size?

These rims were discussed recently in another thread. Heres the link http://www.club202.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10662&highlight=gangsta

They're available on eBay http://motors.search.ebay.com/?from=R40&satitle=MERCEDES+18%22+RIMS+WHEELS+MERCEDES+C280+C LK320+E320++

I didn't say anything in the other thread, but I think they're ugly. It's because I'm a more modern guy. I NEVER liked the early Mercedes rims cause they looked too much like ugly hub caps. They still do this on some of the later models (mostly in markets outside the U.S.), although the early U.S. spec w210 comes to mind. Those things were nasty.

They don't look sporty to me. They look like something that would fit on an "Elegant" W202, but not a Sport. I'd have to see them mounted to know for sure, though.

davis 449, Polestar... I agree with some points made... on a W202 im not so sure how they would looke. They *could* look great, but the style is more 70's/80's to me. On any newer MB I would think they would look more "elegant" rather than "sporty"... but on an older MB such as a W123, W124, W126 I think they would give off a more "sporty" impression visually.... they are VERY reminiscent of the Ronal R-10 wheels which are popular on old school 70's & 80's VW's and other euro makes of the same era... though these ones are a little more "sophisticated" looking.. more fitting for an older MB than the R-10's

I think the wheels in this thread would be very fitting for a W123, W124, W126 owner wanting to keep the period correct look while plus sizing... there arent a lot of wheels avail anymore that blend well with the styling of the older MB's unless you go the obvious and done route of AMG etc..

Here are the Ronal R-10's, check em out... they are VERY similar to the wheels here.

Well like i said i would just have to see them on a 202....lets maybe get a good photoshopper on the job! But I think they come in 20's too! But these wheels are not that much at all. they are @ $250 with shipping, so not a bad price at all...

These wheels I love and our my first choice....they are a little bit more i think these would look sweet on a 202....they are 18's

[Proven Guilty]

those do look sharp, and very minimalist. I'd say thumbs up on this last pair.

[black96benz]

Yeah gotta love the last ones. The other ones are hard to imagine in 18's. It would be nice if a low profile tire was on it or a pic of it on a lowered car. I imagine that in a 14 or 15 inch which would look stupid on a 202. Either choice is nice.
