I think i like the ones on the bottom, but i wanted to get other opinions. They are both 18's and i have a 96 black 280 stock. except for tint!

Havent seen the first pic rims on a 202 before. I like the second ones better but you could probably get some that doesnt have any of those "staggered" look?

the top ones are hot rims but might look a bit thin on the 202? the bottom ones will look hot without a doubt

i've always been a fan of the thin 5's, but the bottom ones are really a classic look on the 202.

top one.
i have a similar wheel setup on my 202. and i love it. though the 2nd one is much more classic, the top one is nicer in my book.

I'd go for the bottom wheels if I were you. The 'CLS' style wheel on the top would look cool if you had a brake upgrade to show off, but would look kinda weeny showing off your small stock brakes. Those bottom wheels are sweet looking!

Bottoms are classic on 202, but also look better for 202 body imho.

Bottom wheel will match better with 202 body.

Monoblocks are played out...

That top set could look pretty hot on a black C...

If you ask me the tops would look pretty sweet. I have similar borbet wheels on my car and they look great. It really gives the car a much more aggressive stance. In my opinion the monoblocks are very much over used.

I like the way the top set look but if either wheel is 25lbs to 30lbs each I would pass on both. Your C280 will not like the extra inertia and hp it takes to accellerate and stop those heavy wheels.

Bottom set.

Classic, understated, but full of potential. They match the W202 and they look like they are doing 200+ just standing still!
