They do fit but use shorter lugs. Super light at 14lbs and forged to boot. I just sold a set last month for $200 as they did not clear my C36 calipers. I'll have to dig out a picture of them on the c280

[anf6789]

Damn! shipping would've neen horrible to N.J. though. I really like the way they look, and being light makes it even better.
Every set that ive found on ebay is wayyy overpriced, and none on craigslist in the area :(

Ebay is pretty lame for wheels. You are better off getting them locally or form inside the community.

[anf6789]

I guess i'll keep looking around online... These wheels seem to be pretty rare, which sucks!

WOW!!! $700 for those wheels, plus $160 shipping. What the heck makes some people think the three pointed star means ask three times what the stuff is worth.


AARRRGGHHHHHHHHH!

There are better looking NEW wheels for less money. Yes, they may be reproductions, but that's a lot of money.

Here you go. Make sure to get the lugs as they are specific to the rim. You can also use VW lugs in a pinch

heres a pic from the seller, they look in decent condition

i had them on my 201 they looked great but the british winters killed the diamond cut finish i was rolling on 205/45/16 on the front and 215/40/16 on the rear they are mega light wheels

[zmatt]

Those are sweet man. I love the look they are a great mercedes spin are super light sport wheels. Much classier than RPF01s that everybody seems to run.

There are shorter bolts for these rims in the pic below you will see the shorter lug next to the standard C280 lug. A cheap alternative would be to get a set of VW bolts from a Pick N Pull as they are almost identical in length (you just don't get he nice finished cap). If you go the VW route make sure you get bolts from a four lug VW 86-98.....the later five lug VW's use larger bolts (14mm vs 12mm) with a different pitch and will not work.

thanks mbsickness, just the answer i was looking for! appreciate it! maybe the seller will have the bolts for the wheels, otherwise ill just order them.

[anf6789]

Quick question could I use 20mm spacers and use the stock bolts.? Seems like an easy way to push the wheels out flush, and keep stock bolts, or am I thinking wrong, lol

[anf6789]

i cant seem to find 20mm mb lugbolts online, is this a go to the dealership part? unless i cant read rulers and those are 23mm? only size i could find

[mbsickness]

I believe they are indeed 20mm from the bottom edge of the ball seat. I only recall seeing these lugs used on the CLK rims so it could very well be a dealer only item. I would highly suggest getting VW bolts at a wrecking yard.

[anf6789]

that explains it then, ive been searching all day for these bolts online. ill have to call up the stealership then or do the spacer thing. not too many junkyards around here

They cleaned up nicely, wheels 9/10 condition, tires 6.5/10, not bad for $220

Thanks for all the help guys, just gotta find me some bolts now

[Sulaco]

Man, I've always liked those wheels too. There's a w202 here in town that's wearing some, always thought it looked sharp as a tack.

[anf6789]

bolts will be in tomorrow, ended up getting 24mm shank lenghth, only $25, hopefully it'll work, shortest i could find without spending as much as the wheels.
Will Post pics when installed!!

[Sulaco]

I wonder what those wheels would look like on my 1980 240d...

Looks really good. You just have to use a 5mm spacer up front so the center cap will clear the grease cap

[anf6789]

The wheels are mounted and looking good! Thanks for everyones help!! seems like the 24mm bolts I ordered off ebay for $25 WORKED!!
