I'm running out of room to store extra wheels and I have to decide whether to keep these rims or get rid of them. What are your opinions? Thanks. BTW they are 18x8 ATS Planets ET35 with 225/40 tires. Personally I'm noy really liking them.

not a big fan of the concave shape of this wheel on the 202, they look kinda like porsche wheels, too curvy for the cars shape in my opinion.

ditch em' 'n' get your self proper wheels suitable for the w202, somethin' like AMG stuff or Brabus.
other rims than those are no good for w202

Dump 'em. Get BBS LM (or RGR) or AMG monoblock.

Thanks for the opionins guys. Truth be told the plan was to burn through the tires and then get rid of the rims as I'm more of an OEM guy. I'll post them up on Craigslist and see if I can squeeze $150 out of them. The car normally sits on a set of AMG 170's. I have a set of E55 mono's but need to roll the front fenders in order to run them and I'm not crazy about having to modify the bodywork...even fender rolling.

I'm going to try them on my C36 once I get that lowered and if they rub on the C36 I'll drop you a line...

hrm... I think im on E55 staggered mono's. I bought the car this way 2 months ago. The fenders have been rolled though. So far, no rubbing. Ive done my share of fender rolling, especially with 10.5" wide wheels in the rear of my acura. Let me know if ya need some help. Ill be in San Jose the first weekend in OCT for a car show. I have access to a fender roller.

Thanks to all in the group.....these rims are gone. The C280 is back on some AMG 170 staggered rims.
