Genuine Merc Alloy Wheels and Dunlop Winter Tyres Quick bump and trying to correct spelling mistake in thread title - 'Allow' should be 'Alloy'

and some more photos:

Just changed my car so time to sell my winter wheels and tyres. Used these on my C250 AMG Sport Plus Estate (W204, 2013). Read reports that you couldn't use 16" wheels with the W204 AMG Sport Plus but the merc dealer these wheels were bought new from in 2013 confirmed they absolutely were...

Hi, Had a windscreen replaced by Auto Windscreens last week on my 2013 (W204) C250 AMG Sport Plus Estate (standard car, no options added). Got a standard 'the safety camera may need to be re-calibrated' warning and also a letter landed after the screen was replaced to the same effect. Anyway...

Combi Stalk for front wiper operation is a real pain to use. My last car was a passat and had 6/7 increments on the intermittent wipe speed and everything could be adjusted without removing your hand from the wheel. As the wiper on the MB is operated by twisting the end of the stalk you have...

Scratch that, realised my vibrationy rattle is actually coming from the centre cover of the steering wheel. If I stick the ends of my fingers down at the top of the cover, between the cover and the steering wheel my rattle stops ! Will need to book it in with my local MB dealer in the new year...

Anybody tell me how to take the 2 bits of trim off that surround the instrument panel in my new W204 C-class estate. Have an annoying (but quite subtle) rattle from this area :wallbash: and suspect I need to add felt behind these these trim pieces to stop them vibrating under load. Can find...

I would try your nearest MB dealer first - they should be able to confirm the wheel size, offset and tyre size recommended for your car at least. You are looking for wheelsize (eg 16" x 7" or 17" x 7.5") Wheel offset (eg ET38, ET45 or something) Tyre size Your MB dealer may have a good deal on...

This is the ebay MB I used: Mercedes-Benz Collection, Mercedes-Benz Accessories items in Mercedes-Benz Of Perth store on eBay! Contact Steve through Ebay messaging, he was very, very helpful for me - the wheels I bought in the end popped up his end as a cancelled customer order and he gave me...

Check the manual for your car, there should be a section showing recommended wheel/tyres sizes/specs. The important bits of info for you to go shopping are: wheels size/offset - eg something like 17" x 7.5" ET35 (the ET** bit is the offset). Tyre size and speed/load rating info. Give merc a...

I have responded to your duplicated post over in the 'winter wheels' thread.

The main manual which comes with your Merc should provide all the recommended wheel/tyre sizes and offsets etc for your specific model in the range. Personally I took the view to stick with what is recommended in the manual to avoid any potential issues with insurance cover. It was nice being...

Hi Guys, Had a good run yesterday - not sure I am noticing too much difference in the ride - maybe slightly comfier. Have to say this morning the car felt glued to the road at 2 degrees C !
