What do you guys think of these with low proflie tires and a nice drop? Tirerack says they will fit my 2000 C230k sport but i just wanted to ask you guys first. Will they fit? Thanks

i myself like the wheels with a dish but those wheels look good but i would do 18's instead of 17's they may be more pricey but well worth it. you might wanna see if they have those locally since places like that threw the internet can be hectic if something is wrong damaged etc etc especially buying tires or warrenty.

If Tire Rack said it will fit and that's for sure it will fit your car.

They dont carry the black ones in 18s though, only 17s. The poslished silver ones come in 18s, but the price jumps up to $365 each instead or $265 for the black. They are also only 17.5lbs so im not putting on any weight. (if anything, im losing weigh) :D

A variation on the Superleggera, to which I say "ehh "... and I own them! ;) To see it on the W202:

(I use them with snow tires)

IMO, In the rear, w/an 8" wide rim and 35mm offset, you will definitely want to use spacers like I do in the rear to bring the wheels out to the fender. The track width of the wheels & tires are in too far otherwise and doesn't look too hot. You can get away with 20mm; I'm doing 15mm, ordered 10mm 1st then changed it, but wish I started with 20mm. The ride is -much- more stable that way too. The car would easily go into oversteer (spin out) w/o the spacers for me.

To answer the fit... The rim's hubs can work with Audi which uses the same bolt pattern but different bore. For the MB's 66.56mm bore, the rims take a clip-in spring loaded centering ring to adapt the rim to the Mercedes sized bore.

Awesomely light and strong rims! (I haven't bent them and I bend all my rims; well, except those and the Kinesis now that I had them converted from 18" to 17")
