New Car ! C238

[anyweb]

Nice motor Niall, have you got the right wheels on this one?

thanks David
it came with 20" and i'm not sure if my previous W213 20" wheels (which i still have) will fit or not....

One of Niall’s W120’s I’m guessing

yes it's the Diesel W120 (from 1960) which still has the engine out sadly.

Very, very nice....

Today I checked the wheels to see if they had the same ET and other specs as my previous W213, and too my joy they were EXACTLY the same for all 4 wheels. I just noticed that the ebay ad stated that they were compatible with W213, S213 and C238 so that explains it ! I just never noticed that when I bought them (as I didn't think i'd be buying a C238).

So I swapped out the wheels the car came with (20") with my recently purchased Titanium Grey 20 " wheels with sports red hubcaps.

What are your thoughts about the colour combo, which do you guys prefer ? I know which I prefer (they are on the car now) but i'm still curious about what everyone else thinks,

cheers
niall

I like both but can't see the grey ones too well because of the shade..

Silver car silver wheels - I really like a colour coded car so the originals.

Your grey wheels would really suit my mineral grey 4 series the stealth look is quite fashionable nowadays I’m told

Prefer the silver personally , gives the car a sparkle- however the grey would suit winter tyres

each to their own John , these wheels almost change colour depending on the light shining on them (or not), here's a view from today when the sunlight wasn't casting shadows on them

I like the grey.

 

[SmartAmg]

Without a shadow of a doubt for me got to be Silver!
But as you've said each to their own.

The silver look great and the grey look even better. Gives it meaner look.

We agree??

We agree??

Better have a lie down, John.

Gorgeous car.

I totally agree on both counts thanks !

I love the relatively understated styling of the C238 - stands out amongst the current trends for styling with too many flukes and creases. My preference would have been the silver wheels for extra 'class' - and a light interior. But I am still drooling over yours, Niall.
