I have a set of Style 2 AMG's that i had on my W202 which set me back sh1tloads when i first purchased the car 6 years ago. Around 2 years ago for different reasons i took them off and stuck them in the shed.
Tonight I pulled them out and gave them a right good old clean and believe it or not apart from one tiny mark on the polished rims they look brand new (never once kerbed them). I was expecting the lacquer to be peeling big time!
Thing is now that i have sold the W202 and now have a W203 what are your thoughts on a W203 with Style 2's? I tried two of them before cleaning and they look not that bad, they just are a bit dated.
The 16" Avantgarde wheels that are on it just now are a joke the lacquer is peeling real bad and the cars only 4 years old. I thought about taking it in to a dealers for a warranty claim but the car doesn't have full MB service history.
So the options are:-
1) Sell the AMG's on ebay and lose big time on them, add to the value and buy either AMG's for the W203 or Adharaz's that are on the newest Avantgarde's
2) Go for it with the Style 2's, will they fit? I think they are 7.5x17, can't remember now! All 4 are the same size.
3) Kick up a stink with MB re the condition of the existing wheels.
