hey welcome to bnzsport! I'd be happy to photoshop some wheels onto your car. Do you have any pictures? BTW- C140's are one of my favorite cars of all times!!

First you should decide if you want thick or multi-spoked wheels. I always like thicker 5-6 spoke wheels on the S-Class because the car is so heavy. Thicker spoke wheels will make the car look overall bigger, plus they fill up more of the wheel well, thus making the wheels look larger than they are. AMG Monoblocks look stunning on the S, however I'm not sure if you can get them in 19's. Also try wheels from:

www.auto-couture.com
www.waldusa.com
www.brabus.com
www.lorinser.com
A thick WALD D21 or D23 would look awsome on your car powdercoated black with a polished lip.

here is a C140 With some 18" Lorinsers

redline thanks alot for the quick reply i appreciate the response . i agree with a you on the thickness of the spoke but i can go either way .i will surely go with a staggered look im not sure the deepest i could go in the rear. i also like those lights . mine has the amber in the lense, is that standard for that year. i like the clear look. as for rims im open to any thing that looks good and compliments the car i would like the car to look overall bigger and a nice lip on the rims. tell me what you think thanks again for the warm welcome

Personally, I'd go with some thicker spoked wheels... Here are some pictures of Tuner C140's (ie Brabus, Lorinser, etc.)

Brabus Monoblock III's.

you hit right on the mark with the amg look its the same color as mine . by chance is that a full kit or just the front and rear bumpers from a kit . it looks hot!!!. i dont know if they come in 19s but i could go with that set up(your a life saver) oh by the way im going polished i think it adds more class to the car i have 20s on my expedition in chrome . im tired of chrome. the thick spokes are the way to go . im also going to put the sl side vents in the fender as well. if you got anymore brainstorms let me know. i dont have too much of a creative eye. but i go by a feeling i have it has to come from within. and that picture stirred up something, if you have any more let me know (i really appreciate your help)

Those are SL Multi-piece wheels, They will cost you a pretty penny for sure!

I have no clue where that kit is from though.

[phatkat]

do you know by chance what size those sl multi piece rims are and the offset by chance . i know if i am going to purchase rims from brabus , amg , or lorinser its going to cost at least a thousand per rim . i know the w140 is a heavy car and you need a quality rim but it will sure hurt your pocket. do you have any suggestions on less expensive rims but not sacrificing quality?dont get me wrong if thats the only way to go i guess i need to be convinced.just out of curiousity could you photo shop some HRE 540r on a coupe for me. thanks

SL Multi's will fit a SL and W124 500E500. If your ran them on the C140 you would need spacers.

You should go take a look at www.tirerack.com as they have some AMG rims that will fit your car and the prices are fairly decent.
