I was ready to spring for a set of MM BEllo's but when I mentioned it to my mechanic, he says those Italian wheels are flat out junk. I'll be using 225/55/16 Yokohama ES100 tires but I can't decide on a wheel to save my life. I found these ( see link for AA topline ) have yet to contact the outfit to see if they're available with the correct offset ( ET25 ) from them or a dealer.

I dont' want to go 17" and according to my mech, they should be German made with all the requesite TUV approvals.
HELP ! I can't stand my OEM 15 holes and don't like the 8 holes either. If anybody can put me onto 16" anything I'd appreciate it.
Tell me what happens with those RH's in terms of offset...I like the look. On their website, it says AA Toplines should fit. (Also says that all ET20 wheels need 15mm hubcentric adapter)
Also, I can't seem to find any prices...maybe I'm overlooking something? Thanks
My mech is kind of a cynical SOB but he's done excellent work for me up to now so I have to at least consider his opinion. He tends to be of the "keep it OEM" school.
So Luke, tell me about these 16" Bellos. Are they of good quality? Would those be a good combo with either the Bridgestone SO3 Poles or the B-stone RE950's? What does tirerack use to balance wheel and tire combos?

The Tire Rack does not endorse the use of spacers so I do not like the mention of the toplines using a 15mm spacer. We only use the top of the line GSP9700 balancing equipment.
....as tire rack doesn't really have any 16" or 17" that I really like. There's not alot of options for the W126 series anymore. The wheels in my first post DO require their adapter or a spacer so those are out.
I'll prolly get some 235/45-17 Yokohama AVS dBs or AVS ES100's to go with them. Ride comfort and noise level is important to me. Hopefully I won't be sacrificing to much ride comfort. Are there any suspension issues going from 15" to 17" that I should be aware of?
Last post I read on this issue is from 2018. My 2017 GLC300’s brakes SQUEAL in the cold temps. Last March we had the brake pads replaced. Seemed to help at the time. Now though, when the temperature has dropped again, the squeal is back. Last year’sforum Mentioned Mercedes said they were...
on my 560sl the front brakes come on after driving a short distance... Along with that the brake pedal pedal appears to be spongy... I also do not think the brake fluid has been changed in probably 20 some years...
Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Hello all
I've never owned such a fancy car. Can I use a floor Jack and stands and rotate my tires at home? I was wondering if I somehow need to tell the computer that the wheels are now on a different spot. Someone mentioned a diagnostic tool was needed to be plugged in to the On Board...
In my 2012 S65 I hit a big pothole and blew out my left front sidewall (sounded like an explosion from inside the car). I replaced the tire, and a couple thousand miles later I noticed significant wear on the inside edges of both front tires. I took it in to the dealer for an alignment and the...
I bought an A-class automatic 10 months ago. Since then I have driven 22K km of which I’d say 85% of this was straight motorway and minimal breaking.
I’ve just brought my car in for a service to the garage I bought it from and they told me that after 10 months, my brakes are worn to 90% with...
