Here is my car:- Here is the donor picture for the wheels (not my car!) I would also like to see it with a set of 16" Sportline 15-holes for the traditional sportline look, but couldn't find a decent pic with the wheels facing in the right direction - can anyone help? Regards. Stu.

Stu, you do know Sportline-15 holes are 15" and not 16" don't you? Or is it a set of Evo 1s you fancy?

Its now made it harder as I really love the AMG look but equally love the slightly more unique look the SLK alloys give my car. Andy - it was the Evo 1's I meant sorry! I love the 16x8 look on the 190 front and rear. Its a very 'Mercedes' look! Stu (off to check ebay for wheels..........)

Member Posts: 1,004 Group: Members Member #2,447 Joined: March 23, 2008	Any chance of some Evo 1's being shopped onto my pic please? (not that I dont appreciate the work already undertaken by merc190uk!) Donor picture supplied. This work is getting my lady very excited as she fully expects me to change my alloys and has already been asking if my wheels will fit on her 2 litre. So I dont feel pressured to buy new wheels if I change my mind, I have explained that they may not as my tyres have too much air in them for her car and the tread pattern is the wrong design!!!!! Stu.
