17" down to 16" to reduce noise

[BattleBunny]

1. Hi all, I am going from 17" with Continentals Sport Contact down to 16", probably with Goodyear as suggested by aquanaut and flanaia1, to reduce high road noise. I will be sticking to genuine Mercedes wheels but am trying to find a better price than they are quoting of £189 + vat. Whilst this does not look too bad it’s still over £900 before I put any tyres on them. Any suggestions as to where I can get a better price?

Try Alloy Wheels Direct

Hello again BB.

Mercedes were cheaper than AWDirect when I sourced a front wheel.

Although it was a 19", I paid £493.00 .

£189 + VAT doesn't sound too bad, by comparison.

Genuine 16" turn up on ebay for peanuts - add the cost of a refurb if required and you're still quids in.

I sold a set of four 16" for £250.00.

I will be selling my 16" genuine w211 twin spoke alloy wheels as soon as new 18" arrives.
