For 18", the 4pcs price is around S$500. As for the shipping, i am able to get about $120 by sea. So, total about $620 which makes it $155/pc. The only concern i have is the specifications, whether it can fit onto my W203. Anyone can advice?

Thks!

if not mistaken...the original AMG Style IV 18" similar to your design come staggered...front 8.0" offset 50 and rear 8.5" offset 54...as for the rims you are interested, the offset is 35...there might be a risk of touching your fender after installing the tyres...i may be wrong...senior bros, give your comments pls...cheeers :whistle:

The supplier told me these specs are for MB. I have also checked a few US & other RIMs sellers and the offset is 35 for W203. Hmm...since the original is so much different, i think i have to ask C & C for advice...ANy other bros out there have installed rims with ET 35 on W203 before care to advice? Thks!

In Any case, if the ET is too small, can i use a spacer to reticfy the problem? My supplier told me the most important is the PCD which is 5 x 112. Any advice?

if i m not wrong, i thot spacers are use the other way round...i.e. for those rims with high ET so that can look wider (near to fender)...pls verify with our seniors :whistle:

[Guest lightning]

That's a really good deal!

I was previously quoted around $1000 for a set of replica rims for my W203. Not sure about the specs though to advise.

U are rite abt the spacer for high ET.

Beside PCD 5 x 112, the bore diameter if I m not wrong is 66.6mm

A diff in rim width eg 8 & 8 1/2", the 1/2" will be shared i.e 1/4" inner & a 1/4" out.

[Guest CBlack]

if i remember correctly, the offset is ET35 when i got mine for my W203.
