    White wheels????

    So I have been trying to hunt down a legit set of white wheels for my 202. I cant find ANYTHING decent that will suit the car. I was thinking maybe grabbing a set of used monos and powder coating them white. Any suggestions on sites or rims brand names I should be looking for? What do you think about buying used monos and powder coating them? Thanks guys!

    Yoo Wichi I dunno man I dig the white rims on the white cars! SD`s 202`s looks PURE sex with the white rims...To each their own really

    So yoo SD, Where did you get those wheels that you have on the 43?? I am looking for that white face with chrome lip but if I have to go all white I`ll go that route too.
    Also was it a bitch installing that ebay lip on your 280? I have a 98 c230 and want to install this lip but want to know what`s good before I do so.

    I have white on white as well. Looks great IMO, I will try to take a few pics of it when I get of off work. BTW I think my rims are from a SL600.

    I got my Wheels on the C43 from a buddy on this forum actually LOL He also the guy who i bought the c43 from. They're authentic Lorinser LM1's made by Ronal wheels in Germany. They are 19x9 & 19x10 staggered. The Ebay lip was somewhat of a Pain in the a$$ to install but with the right amount of manipulation it will fit snug over the existing factory lip. You have an updated bumper so I think it will be a slight bit harder to make it fit in the corners. It was for a pre facelift bumper 94-97. I know it says its for 94-2000 W202 C class but I tried to fit the lip to a 98 bumper and it was hard to get snug and flush fit in the corners without using epoxy / adhesive.
