I just basically want a cheap set decent wheels. Ebay link Edited by Charles, Mon Sep 14, 2009 6:12 pm.

I too am also having difficulty finding a picture of a kitted 190 with them fitted. AMG alloys seem a plenty, so I say go for it and be original! Or post a photoshop request maybe? Stu.

I only wanted these because they where available at sensible money and I can use my old tyres! I am now on the look out for the original rims for the car!

I am very close to purchasing a set of 15" aloys and am considering dropping to no1 pads all round. My 2.6 will probably sit pretty much the same as your 2.3. Stu
