New Merc from the Midwest...

[W202]

Hello,

From the Milwaukee, WI area.
Recently picked up a 2000 Mercedes C230.

Have lowering springs, new struts on the way, but am still looking into what wheel possibilities I have.

I'm stuck between.

18" Alphards
18" AMG Monoblocks
18" Mandrus Emils (I think these are my first choice)
18" Carlsson 1/6 or 3/6's

Once the whole package is on the car, and it is StanceWorks worthy, I'll make sure to post some more pictures.

Welcome! Nice start, but i would suggest you to go for 17's

You know, at first I thought the same thing...
But, I like the look of 18 inches on this body.

18's fit perfectly if you ain't gonna slam tha car down...

good luck!

I'd like my car to end up pretty close to the above picture.
Until air can be in the budget, then we'll see about smaller wheels

And thanks!

Welcome to StanceWorks

I think those Mandrusses look epic on a w202....

yoyoyo.. WI wassup. From north shore of Milwaukee originally.. don't see too many cars from those parts on here. Do us proud and get it fitted nice!

Of those wheels, I vote Carlssons. Good luck finding a set!

Oh, I plan to get it all very tidy indeed.
Am contemplating KW coilovers, but that'd take a huge hit out of my funds.
Might just stick with the koni's I have, and throw the rest into the wheels.

There are actually at least two sets for sale right now.
One set of 2/6's and a set of 1/6's

Unfortunately both have monster tires on them, and neither seller wants to remove them!

Also found a set OZ Mae's that I'm liking the look of.
So many options. Got a little under 2 weeks until I get the funds for wheels

Not that I do not absolutely love the monoblocks on w202's
But nearly 9/10 w202's you see posted will have monoblocks.
I'd like to do something at least a touch different.

Thank you.
Speaking of nice cars in Milwaukee:
Saturday night leaving Dave and Buster's there was a GTR running around.
Odd.
