Wimmer's upcoming new ride...

[Morris Minor]

Just get some 18" black steel snow wheels. They'll look badass, and you're not going to be stressing about them getting dinged.

That's what I was gettin' at.  I like the look of steelies (clearly ), but Wimmer is...classy as frig, a no holds barred kinda guy.

Believe it or not the summer wheels on the BMW 118i, an 11-year-old car, are in PERFECT condition. Not once did I hit a curb or sidewalk and cause damage to them. I am proud of that. 

I'm not worried about damaging the wheels on my new car when it arrives. But I do want it to look good in the winter, so it needs AMG-style wheels. Rial is the perfect company for that. Good-looking wheels for relatively little money!

Are the 118i and the A250 the same bolt pattern?

Are the 118i and the A250 the same bolt pattern?

The bolt pattern should be the same. The diameter and the width will be the showstopper.

[cawimmer430]

Are the 118i and the A250 the same bolt pattern?

The 118i has a 5-bolt pattern, I am pretty sure the new W177 A-Class has the same pattern. Are you hinting at something?

Yeah, just share winter wheels and tires

[Xer0]

Congrats!

I'm glad you didn't settle on the "adequate" A200 and decided to live a little.  Totally the right choice.

[cawimmer430]

16" winter wheels on the A250 are gonna look terrible.

[cawimmer430]

Thanks!

I wouldn't have minded the A200 because it's not slow, but I was just worried that a 1.33-l engine is gonna be more stressed than a 2.0 engine, especially with my speedy driving style.

MBUX works great! Took this video today!

Was at the dealer again today because I just wanna hang out with the new A-Class...

The matte gray A250 AMG Line on the left has my 19" AMG wheels, the white A200 AMG Line to its right has my color, the Night Package (dark mirrors, darker headlights) and my upcoming identical-looking RIAL M10 winter wheels!

I dig that matte gray color. You should change your order and get that one.

It does look nice. But for me Polar White is the way to go. 

But here, eat your heart out!

Hmm, yes. that is very tasty.

[cawimmer430]

Polar White for me!

MBUX (Offline) is awesome, especially the onboard instruction manual with videos and voiceover!

[Laconian]

Hm, that's probably the smoothest MMI I've seen.

[cawimmer430]

Hm, that's probably the smoothest MMI I've seen.

When the car arrives I will do a detailed walkaround video and show the MBUX system in action. Man, November/December can't come fast enough!

The only thing that irritates me is that the car will come from the factory with those lovely 19" Multispoke LMR AMG wheels, which will then have to be exchanged for the 18" Rial M10 (AMG-lookalike) wheels with winter tires...

A250 AMG Line Edition 1

[FoMoJo]

Those rims are hot.

[cawimmer430]

Those rims are hot.

Agreed. Those are my wheels in 19" format and in silver.

Australian review of the A200 AMG Line. Red is a bit too aggressive and LOOK AT ME for my tastes.

[FoMoJo]

Red is not the colour for it.  Makes it look a bit cheap.  Definitely white, but the black is stunning.

Article about the new W177 A-Class in the 2018 issue of Mercedes Munich Magazine. This car is so awesome! 

The technology in here is gonna trickle over to the next-generation C-Class, CLA-Class, B-Class etc. Good times ahead!

[SJ_GTI]

Man, I really dig that gray color. Are you sure you don't want to change your mind...?

[cawimmer430]

Nah, I want my A250 in Polar White.

Received an email from Mercedes-Benz today; my car will be ready in the 1st or 2nd week of November. That was the first contact regarding the car's delivery. They will contact me against for a more precise date.

Next week I am going to order the Rial M10 "AMG lookalike" winter wheels and tires.

A handful of people who worked on and helped develop the new A-Class. Also from Mercedes Me magazine.

An Iridium Silver A250 AMG Line with my 19" AMG wheels. This car just lacks the Night Package (darker mirrors, toned windows).
