Car is 2010 E350CGI Estate, wheels are original, been refurbished (poorly) once with an attempt(again poor) at straightening them.
I now have a small pressure loss in a rear, down to a flat in the alloy, no cracking so time to do something about it.
As I see it I have a couple of options:-
1, have these straightened and refinished again, but at a decent place (anyone used the Wheel Specialist? Franchises so may be variable quality - I'm inquiring at the Leeds branch)
2, Buy a new/used set, CLK320 on here is selling a set from a A207 but they are 0.5" narrower front and back. (and my <30 posts prohibits me responding to his ad...)
or
3, I have a set of E63 alloys that I got when I bought a set of winter tyres, the front offset is such that it scuffs the inner wheel arch at front, perhaps have these machined to increase front offset??
If 1 or 2 get the vote then I'll sell the E63 rims to fund chosen route
Your opinions would be most welcome
