alloys

I'm in the vinegar strokes of buying an E320CDI Estate (2007/W211) AV (hopefully!!) but short list also has a SPORT variant. I'm in two minds about the 18 inch wheels from both a ride quality/pothole risk and tyre cost perspective. Can I change the wheels to 17 or 16 inch alloys? Advice...

I recently bought a CLK W209, my first Mercedes and a really lovely car. But I've noticed some juddering at motorway speeds. It turns out the rear wheels have 6mm thick spacers. The spacers are not hubcentric and so the alloy wheels (replicas) aren't quite centred. The front wheels have no...

i keep getting told different things for the size's for alloys that will fit my w168, ranging from 5.5j to as anything from merc thats the same production year! what i would really want to know is what range will actually fit and whether wheels from a w169 would fit on it, especially a nice set...
