Hey Brandon,
When did you get a 210? Congrats!

Anyway, to my eye, those look like 17's...

Look like 18's, but I'm not 100% sure, can you email the owner?

Glen,

Hey man how are you?

I picked the 210 up on New years day!

How is the 500 doing?

I believe the car you are looking at is a 1997 E420 Sport, which came with 17" AMG's stock from the factory.

I think they look fantastic.

I have always prefered the more upto date Factory "SPORT" edition 17" on the e430. I think you can get 18" and replicas too.

Thanks guys I appreciate all your help.


Paul thanks, I like the way that car looks too! I hope they are 17's because It looks as though I may have a set on the way. I intially wanted to go with 18's but was afraid they may ride to harsh for my taste. I am getting the 17's used for really low $ so if I decide I am ready for 18's I'm sure I'll get my money back when I sell. I'll keep you guys posted !

Only in horseshoes and hand grenades.

I think 18's ride too harsh. They also add unneeded unsprung weight.

You'll be happier with 17's.

Paul,

The story takes another twist..... The seller emailed me today, said he had to get them out of his garage asap. Long story short. I purchase the wheels. 17 x 7.5 Et 38 monoblock replicas with a set of Blizzak 225 45's all less than a year old for $400 Guess I'll sell the tires on ebay !! Pretty sure you don't need them

Luke,

I think your right they are 18's. I was using that car to gauge what the 17 inch Monoblocks would look like on my car, that isn't the actuall set I am buying. Hopefully I'll have some photo's for you guys next weeks !!
