nice car love the wheels thinking about getting some 18 inch 1 piece cant afford 3 piece, did they fit ok or was modification needed and what brand of tires did you go with? How is the rid quality now?

Thanks for your comments. Went with SO3's and love them. Wheels put on new, so can't comment on ride change, but feels great. Dealer did very minor mods to fenders to ensure no rubbing, but hardly anything at all was needed.

Thanks for the info was it to the rear or front fenders

Guest (MBNZ) · 02-17-2002, 03:35 PM

They did some work on both before mounting the wheels; even with the 5mm spacer that Brabus send for the front wheel, they did not need to do any more. If I put my hand underneath can hardly feel anything like a roll back, its just angled up very slightly, (like a J rather than L) (I did see a post from Luke @ Tirerack somewhere that said all C32's come with fenders pre-rolled -that's not strictly true, they are not rolled back up altogether, but they may be different from other W203's - check with dealer?) Hope this helps.
