rims
So a while back I was looking into 1998 C230 rims, well the guy has been avoiding me... I think he's being sneaky, he posted them for $100, and hasn't replied, now it seem there is a set up for sale for $150.... (i think it's the same guy, just upped the price)
here is a pic, is it worth it? Will they look ok on a 190? Opinions....

Depends on your taste in rims. Everyone likes something different.

Hmmm... I was under the impression that they are not steelies and 16"
But now that I look at the picture, I can see your point, I won't even consider it, if they are steelies.

Hey,
I would not consider them either...just hubbies and steelies..
Look at ebay....sometimes after winter you can find decent MB rims that are sold withing the GTA area. You can go and pick up locally...
i see in the pic u got the stock 15s...just keep em clean and you are good to go for now!
