I am thinking about getting these rims.

[wash_me]

There Brabus VI Style rims but I have not been able to fine any pictures with them on a W202 yet.

Think they will look nice on a C230?

Have you tried looking through the members gallery. There are members here with that wheel already. :)

this maybe a dumb question but 7.5 and 8.5 will that look nice?? i've been looking at those rims before and waiting for them to have 8.5 all around... should i just get them??? looking at putting 235/40/18 on them.. is there a differences between 7.5 and 8.5, performance wise???

[C280 JR]

for the 7.5 just put 225 series tires and 8.5 just put at least 245-255mm series tires, they would look awsome, but i prefer the rears to be 9.5 if possible to ask for that wheels size for same or slight difference in price

They come in a better staggard setup now. Something like 8.5 and 9 or was that 9.5

Either way thats a better set up than the one on ebay that youre looking at.

SLK320 just put a post up the other day with the new staggard setup.

Those are available on eBay as well and will fit the 202 with the same size tyres as SLK320 put on his car.

dang... that c36 sure does make those rims look nice... i really want a c36... is it possilbe?? i have a 99 c230k can i put the c36 on it??

[wash_me]

Do you guys think I'll need to paint the calipers to make them look nice with these rims?

[jnolte]

sleek_benzo: you can make your car look like a c36, u neeed to buy a 36 body kit and a upgrade bumper attachments. 1997 and under kits wont fit on 98+ and vise versa.


wash_me: Painting calipers is EASY as 123. Get some hi heat paint at ur local auto store. Take off wheel. Brush calipers with a wire brush to get off dirt/rust/gunk cover important componets with masking tape. Spray caliper with a few coats. If it gets of your rotors, it will rubb off when braking. takes like 15-20 mins MAX!! I have done this on a C36 and C43 and a CLK320 and 55. good luck!

upgrade bumper attachment?? do you mean buy a 94-96 bumper and fit the c36 kit on it?? if so, is that difficult??
