Just bought these... want to know what you all thought
Wow aparently (and i actually called brabus in germany to make sure!) a company called "RONAL" make brabus' alloys along with other german tuning companies' alloys! bit of trivia there lol.
I had a scare thinking they weren't real, just had to make sure.

Ronal made some of the original AMG alloys too, I might be wrong but I think they produced the 5 spoke Penta's.
In the same way BBS produce pretty much anything for a BMW, OZ produced a lot of Mercedes wheels.

Mmmm look good from here but , having just had a similar experience, would be concerned about rubbing the arches.......
well i had a look at the page with regards to the wheel fitaments on a W202, and its suggesting i got 225/40/r18 on the front (i might consider 35% profile on the front to avoid wheel arch rubbing completely, not sure yet) and it suggest 255/35/r18 on the back! it sounds a bit insane... but i dont know what point of reference to take

thats the correct setup for staggered wheels (mono2 AMG`s) if your offsets are the same it`ll be ok for yours too.
IIRC most brabus wheels use spacers so as to have a sort of universal fitment...
When you bought them did they ask you what car they were to go on?

I told them its a W202 C-class when they asked me, they said i might need to get 5mm spacers. But i was in a rush at the time so i couldn't sit and talk to him as to why. I have offset 35 on mine, i think the offset on the amg's is 37?

I believe that the maximum size of rims/tyres you fit may also depend on which W202 you have...
Last I checked, the Sport and Esprit were lower than the Classic/Avantgarde.
Additionally, if your suspensions are tired, you may have some issues.
I had 18" or 19" (can't remember) from an S-class fitted to a W202 Esprit... they did fit, but at full lock would rub (and I had to be VERY careful over speed-bumps)
Make sure you post some pics once you get them on!
