Anyone know how much the factory steel rim cost, thinking of using 16" wheel as it is easy to fit it with snow tire than on a 17" rim.

btw Can any C-Class wheel fit B-Class? I know the A-Class and B-Class wheel are interchangabe but we don't have A-Class in Canada. So if any C-Class wheel can fit then will go after used C-Class wheel instead of the ugly steel wheel. Just a thought.
Winter is 4-5 months off so have time to source out the best deal.

Thanks

dealership here in Ontario informed me about $120 per steel rim. re the offset, best I can figure out is that C class or many others such as E etc, have a standard offset of about 35 mm whereas the B class has about 45 mm offset. I assume a 1 cm spacer can take care of the difference.

cheers
