Technical specifications of the wheel

The wheel is made of aluminum, which ensures an optimal strength-to-weight ratio and promotes precise vehicle handling. The rim construction is adapted for a five-bolt mounting pattern, with a precisely matched bolt circle diameter and offset parameter, allowing for proper interaction with the suspension and braking system of the Mercedes W168.

The diameter and width of the rim are optimized for standard tire sizes used in this model, facilitating tire selection and maintaining proper handling characteristics. The applied offset helps maintain the factory wheel geometry, minimizing the risk of rubbing against wheel arches or suspension components.

Appearance and purpose

The neutral, classic Silver color blends well with both light and dark body paints, making this wheel suitable as a replacement for a single damaged wheel or as part of a set with a more understated style. The aluminum construction allows for potential further processing, such as surface restoration or finish customization, if the user plans to refresh the vehicle's appearance.

The wheel is suitable for drivers who expect to maintain factory handling characteristics while keeping a consistent, aesthetic look for their Mercedes wheels. It is a practical solution when replacing a wheel after mechanical damage or when assembling a set of seasonal wheels.

Benefits of using an original alloy wheel

Using an original alloy wheel on a Mercedes W168 helps maintain proper running gear performance, including stability at higher speeds and predictable behavior in corners. The correctly selected width and mounting pattern promote even load distribution on the hub and suspension components.

For the user, this means:

• maintaining factory wheel geometry and compatibility with the braking system,
• trouble-free installation of tires in standard sizes for this model,
• easier diagnosis of potential vibrations or wheel runout thanks to known factory parameters.

An additional advantage is the ability to combine this wheel with other original rims of similar parameters, which facilitates building a spare or seasonal wheel set without the need for suspension modifications.

Selection, installation, and technical support

When selecting a wheel for a specific version of the Mercedes W168, it is worth paying attention to the compatibility of the mounting parameters, diameter, and width with the currently used wheels and the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. Proper installation requires the use of appropriate bolts or nuts and checking for radial and axial runout after mounting on the hub.
