You sure they come in 18", only listed in 16" and 17".

Yeah definitely sure - seen them on another w211, but they're replicas (as they're not polished finish but painted). I currently have the polished set in 17" but much prefer the 18" painted.

i have never seen 18" Rucha, plenty of 16" and not so many 17"

Okay well Mercedes dont do them in 18".

Mercedes do the Rucha in different finishes. The ones you have now which are the chromed ones cost over twice the cost of the normal silver 17" Rucha.

If it is just the chromed look your not happy with why not get your current ones refurbished and painted in whichever finish you want. Better than buying replicas. Or if you current ones are in good condition maybe you could sell them on for enough to get the painted silver ones from alloy wheels direct.

Hi,

Dont think that you can get them anymore, they used to be a 18" polished face replica that you could buy brand new.

I have a set but they need refurbing as the laquer has started to lift and gone milky but they are the 18" polished ones.

Thanks Npuk and Rajinder_1 - yeah it may just be a good idea to get them refurbed to a high powder coat silver finish. Sticking to the 17" would keep the ride nice.
