Wheels - Thoughts please

[After Shock]

I'm looking for a set of 18" staggered wheels for my E320.

Just stumbled across these 2 listings on ebay. I think they both fit!

I'm not rushing but am very tempted at the first ones. Although I do like the second ones too .....

It's a very personal thing but ... ahhhh....someone chip in!

First choice:

18" MERCEDES C E S CLASS CL SL CLC CLK SLK AMG ML ALLOY WHEELS W202 W203 W208 | eBay

Second Choice:

Mercedes AMG | eBay

(second choice from a thread on here. See below!!!)

2nd choice.

They appear to be genuine too, unlike the 1st choice AMG "style".

Get the second choice, I wish I could!!! They look great and are OEM rims.

Just been looking at them again and they are actually nicer! (2nd choice)

So do I spend £550 nand not miss out???

I second the 2nd choice ones.

They'll look like they belong on your car.

I'd say neither, the first look like copies and the second set are for a W212.

More temptation for ya!

Second set are nic , but probably won't fit your car as the offset may be wrong.

I have never understood why, on a road car, anyone would choose to suffer the inconvenience of staggered wheels.

Because they look cool?

Your SL doesn't have them ?

What's inconvenient?????

And yes it's the visual aspect as you look at your car.

Punctures......tyre damage......tyre rotation

Look cool?......I doubt most people would ever notice.

Each to their own but not for me.

Some years ago a friend bought a new SL500, and then bought a new SL55 (long story). I saw the two cars when they were parked next to each other, and pointed-out to him that the SL55 had staggered wheels. He was quite surprised - up to that point , he hasn't noticed the difference...

 

[bigmacplease]

Not keen on either.

Better grip when you acclerate out of corners? I find I get my Traction control light flashing at me, wouldn't this be worse with narrower tyres

Possibly.
