Wheels ........ Place to go......

Scoobysnack · 08-20-2006

Have to change the rear tyresagain... but this time I'm thinking I might buy a present as the car is nearly a year old...

I'm after an idea of price and place to go for a really nice set of rims and good tyres. Probably still 18" , maybe 19". A split rim design with a polished lip, and a dark spoked centre. All with the right off set, and wide but without causing an issue

Any advice or pictures on a silver car?

I have bought tires from TireRack.com. In fact, my MB dealer is the one who put me on to them. If nothing else, TireRack seems like a good place to get information and reviews.

I'd suggest updating your profile so people know where you live. The fact that you spelled 'tyres' leads me to believe your not in the US.

You could try Michelever Tyres:

I don't know what wheels they stock, but I always use them for tyres.

I found these the other day, but I don't know anything about them:

Also you could consider Brabus or Carlsson if you want something different.
