wheels

Hi guys, I’ve curbed my car!!! painfully irritating. But such is life. My wheels are like a gun metal grey colour. So I’m struggling to find a touch up pen that’s the same colour. I also can’t find a paint code anywhere to help narrow down the search. I’m sure the wheels didn’t come this...

Just had my alloys powder coated in gun metal grey. I want to try and keep them looking minty for as long as possible. I intend to avoid harsh or acidic products, and I’ll clean them by hand rather than with with the jet washer. I’ve got an old bottle of Triplewax shampoo which is ph neutral...

Hello, CLA220d AMG PLUS Night (68) I've had my vehicle for over a year now, still factory Tyres but my nearside front (over 20k miles). My offside front Tyre seems to be scrubbing the outer shoulder bald, there is still quite a bit of meat left on the rest of the tyre (see images). I did...

Hi all I recently purchased a C Class 2014 (W205) Bluetec Sport Premium. I've just noticed that the tyre sizes on the front are the same as on the back?! They're both 225/50 17 Y. I thought rear wheel drive vehicles had bigger/wider tyres on the back as was evident in my last C Class...

Hi there, first time poster here. I have put a deposit down on a 2016 (66 plate) C220 SE from a vauxhall dealer. They have fitted what I think are these wheels. The tyres are 18 inch 255,40 (picture of actual wheel attached) These seem to be wider than any of the official options for this...

Hi all I have a 69 plate e220d AMG line with 19inch wheel. I purchased the car new back in October. The car was delivered with the steering wheel off centre (quite far to the right). The car was taken back by the dealer and adjusted. The steering was centred but the car was left with a problem...

I always keep my stuff pristine and have been using the common and expensive TWS/The Wheel Specialist for a few years. Their price is high but, colour options and turn is good compared to a few little independents I have used also. However, I came across another company, Alloy Engineers in...

When I bought this car a year ago it had some amazing 20" wheels, but they were the wrong ET and therefore caused damage to the rear arches (which I had to get repaired and probably will have to repair again....). So I did some research, and made sure that I would get 20" wheels that were...

I have had a vibration and shudder issue with my 2016 E Class 220 Estate Auto. It occurs between 65 -80 MPH and feels like it is coming from the front. The vibration also seems to get stronger and weaker over a 2 second period - a bit like a throbbing! It has had a vibration which feels like a...

At present I have 17inch wheels but I've seen some 18 inch wheels. Front alloy: 8J X 18H2 ET45 Rear alloy: 8.5J X 18H2 ET48 Part number: A2074010000 I don't know if they'll fit my SL500 (R230) and if any function will be lost. Advice please.

Hi there I have a merc c220 cdi 13 plate coupe with 16” alloys on it (i think they’re referred to as W204?) currently. I was wondering whats the maximum I can to up to without reducing or impacing the performance and handling of the car. Also if the max is for example 18”, then will any 18”...

Hi all. New to forum. Own a 2014 C220 coupe. Just after some advice on wheel sizes. Currently have 18's with winter tyres but looking to buy some new rims for summer tyres. Does anybody know if 19's or even 20's would fit without any issues ? If so what tyre size i would need. Thanks in advance...

Morning all, Only just joined, but i'm hoping to plug your brains. Just had the C63 in to MB for a air bag re-call, on inspection they found the rear nearside wheel has been aluminium welded in two places. They say its massively unsafe to drive and ill obviously need a new wheel. I bought the...

I have a 2008 CLC with 16" alloys currently on, but i want to change them to 18" i'm having an issue with finding some because the front width of the wheel is smaller than the back? If anyone could give me some advice on wheel size for the CLC or a place where I could get a set please some help...

I just upgraded the alloys on my w124 coupe from the standard 8 hole 15 inch to the 16 inch versions, however the bolts wont fit the new wheels as they're not long enough. Does anybody know the length of bolts i require, and where possibly i might be able to get them in london?? Ive been told...

I know this gets done to death regularly so sorry in advance. Does anyone have experience of putting 18x9.5 et38 wheels on the back of a Vito? I would be running 18x 8.5s on the front with 245/45/18 tyres on front and back. Can it be done without modifications or would I be cutting things a...

Hello, My 2008 B200 SE CDI which I've just bought (a month ago) from an independent dealer is OK in every respect, but it has had 17" wheels with low profile tyres fitted (from new according to the works specification booklet that came with it). The ride is quite harsh and I'm already...

My boyfriend has a set of unused wheels and tyres taken off his brand new R class at the time he bought the car - he wanted different wheels. He has now sold the car but still has the wheels and tyres clogging up the garage. They are 17" x 7 1/2j 7 spoke alloys with 235/65 Michelin Latitude...

Hi all, I know there have been lots of threads re: wheel fitments, and to those in the know sorry for asking again ! But, I have found a set of C63 replica wheels that I really want to treat myself to. I have a C320 CDI (57 Plate) which currently has standard 17" wheels. I'm not too sure...
