s213 on 18's any pictures?

[Grumblepuss]

Hi my car has the 20 turbines on them and well i hate them (well the ride and the cracking). The car has full air but feels like coils (im sure its faulty but dealer says no)

Im considering dropping to 18's but struggling to find any pics of them on a s213. Also finding genuine 18's that are wearing the correct size tyres and are the correct staggered setup is challenging too found a set of c63s ones slight bit of lacquer damage but nothing horrendous

anyone got any pictures or ones for sale

Don't have 18s but mine are on 19s and this is what they look like for reference if that helps!

thanks. i think im going to have to get the 19's as honestly genuine mercedes 18's for the 213 are impossible to find in the uk

Yeah its hard to fine them and if you do I have found they have been refurbished badly. I have been thinking about the 19inch turbines for mine as the next upgrade but not sure at the moment.

i like the look of my turbines but they are made from chocolate

i found a nice set of 19's but they are with almost new run flats and i want non runflats so i dont really want to spend 1k on a set of wheels and tyres to bin the tyres and spend another 900-1000 on another set of tyres

i could go aftermarket wheels but what ones

Always been a fan of BBS rims specifically the SX in silver & the CH-R range but they come at a price without some black circles attached. I'm trying to get the run flats off my car because they are just so noisy and a pretty harsh ride.

If you can handle the run flats for a while until you have 'forgotten' or someone else has about how much the rims cost I would go with the set of 19's if they are what you want. Aftermarket on a Mercedes doesn't always look right in my view but hey, what ever you like!

 

[Grumblepuss]

yeah. i may just have to do it and live with th noise and harsh ride on the runflats for about 5 years going by the mileage and wear on my current ones

i could sell my 20's but what if i need them back

Yes I see the predicament you are in. Tbh you might fine it improves if you change the tyres when you can. Other then that you might have to shell out for the rims!
