Aloha and new to the forum. Been thinking of getting some new rims. Would like to stay as close to the current design as possible only in 18's and chrome. Been looking at the Boyd Coddington Smoothie II for $400 per rim delivered to Hawaii and they'll custom fit the rims to the car (they said they've done the 06 C230 before) so that everything (offset, etc) will match the OEM configuration and the wheels will not stick out any more than they do when they come from the factory. Only difference is the front will be 8" and the rear 9". Here is a picture of the rims. Lemme know what you think.



As a backup I'm looking at these, same size but a little cheaper:


What do ya think? Thanks....

 

Honestly the first set looks too much like the 2006 C230 OEM wheels.


I would much rather go with the second set.

 

One set of wheels that I truly do love and would definitely recommend are these:

 

Yea, thoought I woould like the "look alikes" that are on my 06 C230 Sport but I saw one today with chrome versions (think he had it done locally) of the OEM rims. Didn't care for it too much... Looks like I'm going for the backup only instead of chrome gonna opt for hyper silver with high-polished rims. Saw a set today and I'm impressed. Local dealer told me 1600.00 out the door for 18's, 8 in front 9 in the back Federal 235's x 18 in the front and 255's in the rear, includes balance, mounting, chrome lug bolts and one locking bolt per tire and, of course, chrome valve stems. Whaddaya think? Thanks!

 

Who makes your rims. I must agree they look pretty nice.
