Yes! Those are much nicer, but I used to have a 159 on cloverleaf wheels and loved them, I think that might be what drew me to these!

For reference this is what the car looked like on 19s. I can't post in classifieds yet, but these will be for sale once I've cleaned them up

Very happy with them. Ride is noticeably better too. I still prefer the oe 19 turbine style, but these are definitely a close 2nd, and if they don't keep cracking every few months then I can definitely live with them! I did forget that when buying from that German eBay seller there would be...

Nice, thanks for this, I found a couple of handy things I didn't know about! The HOLD position for the brakes, and the bootlid shut switch!

Cheers, I've gone ahead and bought them! In retrospect I think I got a little dramatic when I first posted this thread topic... I was thinking I was going to be faced with a £2000 wheels and tyres bill every 12 months, I got a quote to sell my car and everything! 🤪 (also the quote was...

Hi, I'm really grateful for this information! I was scouring Ebay and Facebook marketplace for ages looking for something that would fit, but you're right, there's a lot more availability from Germany and even factoring in the shipping the cost is not too bad! (although shipping is more like...

Would it be a bad idea to change the rear tyre size to 275/35/19 (from 285/30/19)? I'm aware this would cause the speedometer to be slightly out, but gaining over 10mm sidewall height might help a bit with cushioning? Was thinking I could also increase the fronts to 245/40/19 (from 255/35/19)...

It's possible, not even 10,000 miles and the rubber has worn significantly more on the inside than the outside, gone past the limit indicators without me spotting it. The car is 7 years old and I've only had it 2 years, so I don't know it's whole history. I had 4 wheel alignment done each time...

They're not runflats at the moment, I don't think they were standard equipment? Cars not been remapped either, at least not to my knowledge

Yes, thanks for this. I'm considering dropping to 18s and going for premium tyres, thanks!

OK, thanks, I hadn't thought to look on Facebook marketplace. You say a square set up is possible then? If my current wheels are 19x8.5 et34.5 and rears are 19x9.5 et48, 19x8.5 et 34.5 will be OK to use all round? And if I drop a size, 18x8.5 et 34.5 OK all round too? If there's more options...

My 2016 CLS 220d AMG style shooting brake is starting to cost me too much money in upkeep...It's going through a set of rear tyres in 9 months (I do about 15,000 miles a year of mainly non-motorway driving), and just this year I've had cracks in both rear alloys. First crack I had welded, it...
