very nice indeed - these are great cars when cared for and i am sure you two will do just fine together.

what wheels are they? the offset seems too little somehow.

Wheels are the Original Mercedes Alloys that came with the car, tyre sizes fitted all round are: 195/65 R15.

Those wheels are not original fitment for c class cars.

I mean they are the original ones that came with the car when I bought it, I have not changed them. So no idea on the history of them, they do have the Mercedes logo on them however on the center cap, dont know what there off though.

they were standard items on later 124 vehicles.

wider versions were available on 210s and 129 and 140s but never on 202s.

The look the same as mine Keith, which are original alloys, 8 holes and 5 bolts, same dimensions too.

Many people use them to upgrade from the standard steel wheels (and plastic covers)
which were on many c class cars.

There was an eight hole wheel for the c class but it was subtly different to all the other 8 hole wheels.

Remember the standard 6.5 inch wheel for 124 is et 44. For the class version in size 6.5 the et is 37.

That is probably why nevster's rear wheels look to far into the wheel arch.

Hi 1nevster, please I would like to know if the ordered parts worked directly on your car without coding it. Also, does your new ECU have the CAN bus or not?
