RIMS: 17/18/19 on a 2003 C240 Sedan - Benzworld.org

Hey Guys,

I am finally ready to get some rims on my car and was confused if I should get 17, 18 or 19. I live in the bay area and the roads are quite bad so I was thinking of getting 18s.

I am not planning to lower the car yet (need to save $) and was wondering how weird the car would look with 18s and no lowering.

Does anyone have any pics prior to lowering with either 18s or 19s?

Thanks,
Q

thanks for the pictures....it does look a lil funny indeed without lowering it.

thanks for the offer but those rims are not really my style...i like your current ones lot better...hehe

is it 500 with tires? is the lip chrome? r they staggered?

Thanks again......

I got 18s on stock height. Decided on that because 19" tires are expensive & the roads in NYC are horrible ... although now i'm moving to sunny NC.

Some pics ...

Thanks! I actually bought them off of a friend brand new. He had them for his Lexus but traded it in and never had them put on. I can't wait till the weather is warmer so I could put them back on.

Here is a look at 19's with a stock suspension...
Pjay when are you moving you fuck.?

As you can see the drop would be nice...

At least now you can compair the 18's and 19's
