All,

Does anyone have any links or suggestions for sites, or manufacturers that offer quality wheels and tires for the 202, but have reasonable or cheaper prices?

Thanks

TireRack.com has the 18" Mille Miglia Evo5 at a dirt cheap price right now...

If you are ok with buying used...I'm sure you can find a quality set for a good price. For example: AMG Monoblock 17's ~700usd. Try other site's classifieds and ebay.

Thanks QUik for the response. These should fit the C220, if I am not mistaken.. I do see that you are rollin on Carlssons. I was thinking of the 2/5's but I cant seem to find anyone with good deals on those..

Try Sander at www.thewheelsupply.com for a good deal on Movens. Lots of people run them and they have no problems.

Yes, I'm running Carlsson 1/6, but I do own a set of the Evo5 :cool:


Front = 18x8 et35, 225/40
Rear = 18x9 et35, 255/35

They fit fine, just use a C280 to check

I just visited Tirerack.com. Its funny if you enter C43 as ur car there is only like 20 wheels. If u enter C280 there is like 80 wheels!!

The Mille Evos like Kwik have are dirt cheap right now.. it was like 120 for the 18x9 and 268 for the 18x8 ( something like that) weird how the 18x9 wheel was cheaper than the 18x8 one...

KWik, They look GREAT with the 42. The springs make a big difference. I am wondering if they would look just as good on my Silver 1996 C220? You definitely can't beat the price of the Evo5's. :cool:
