19" Rims need your help

FieldDog1 · 09-16-2008, 08:41 PM

Hi I currently have the stock w202 rims which suck, I found a friend of mine who is trying to sell AMG 19" rims to me for only $200 with tires. The question I have is,

1.will the rims look good on my Black w202 c230 kompressor?
2.Will 19" rims change my turning radius or driving feel?

please let me know!

The W202 never had anything close to 19" wheels, even the AMG models had only 17" from what I remember, sportline 16", standard 15"

Getting them to fit properly without rubbing will probably be an issue, and the car will ride horribly.

What car were the 19" off of? They look like 18?

The "wheels" as we used to call them will probably fit but you're going to need 225/40/19 front tires and 245/40/19 rear tires. Have your friend read you the offset from the backside of the wheel, it'll say +40 for instance. You may need spacers/extended lug bolts but I have a contact for those if you need them.

$200 is a steal, buy them up and re-sell them if they don't fit.

PS- if you don't lower the car it's going to look like a donk with the wheels being that big.
