Purpose and compatibility with Mercedes W169 / W245

This presented alloy wheel has been designed for Mercedes A-Class (W169) and B-Class (W245) vehicles, which translates into proper geometry and compatibility with the factory suspension. The rim construction is adapted for a five-bolt mounting, and the spacing and diameter of the mounting holes comply with the typical requirements of the axles used in these models.

Parameters such as width, diameter, and offset of the rim have been selected to maintain the correct body line, proper suspension operation, and correct vehicle handling. As a result, the rim works well with the standard tires used in Mercedes W169 and W245 models, without the need for spacers or wheel arch modifications.

Aluminium construction and performance characteristics

The rim belongs to the Wheels category and is made of a lightweight aluminium alloy, which helps reduce unsprung mass compared to steel rims. A lighter rim can positively influence steering response and driving comfort, especially in urban conditions and during frequent maneuvers.

The silver surface finish provides a neutral, universal look that blends well with both light and dark body paints. This color is also practical in terms of daily use – any minor signs of wear are less visible than in the case of darker finishes.

Mounting parameters and technical compatibility

The rim has five mounting holes with a specific diameter, which corresponds to the typical mounting layout used in many Mercedes compact class models. The applied offset (ET) has been chosen to maintain the correct wheel seating in the wheel arch, without causing excessive protrusion or retraction of the rim relative to the body line.

The diameter and width of the rim allow for the installation of popular tire sizes used in Mercedes W169 and W245 models, which facilitates the selection of both summer and winter tires. By maintaining factory mounting parameters, the rim works well with standard brake system components and suspension elements.

Condition, application, and benefits of choosing a used rim

The rim is offered as a used item, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged rim or completing a set of wheels without the need to invest in a new set. This type of solution is particularly beneficial in the case of post-accident repairs, seasonal wheel configuration, or restoring the vehicle to a specification close to the factory one.

For many users, choosing an original, used alloy wheel is a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining compliance with the manufacturer's design. This type of rim can also serve as a base for potential visual restoration if the vehicle owner wishes to refresh the look of the wheels.
