I just ordered a set of razor tires on douglas red labels .190's for the back of my 300ex and i was just wondering if these rims will match the stockers i have on the front?

i have 190's on the rear of my 400 and they are great they r alot stronger then the stock but the only disadvantage is that they are a lil bit heavier

They won't match very well. The stockers are have a rolled edge whereas the red labels do not. Also, I think the stockers are aluminum, so the finish is not same as the red labels, which are steel (I think??).

Also, from what I understand, the only wheels stronger than stock are beadlock-style wheels. Just what I've heard. Someone else will know for sure, so hopefully they will respond.

red labels wont really match that well because they are polished aluminum where the stockers are just brushed. but i am sure they will look cool though.

I didn't get the 18's i got the 20-11-9 6 ply's but i'll still let you know how they do i'm sure the performance will be close to the same as the 18's. By the way thanks for all the help.

Yeah there polished aluminum. they will look much better than stock. But watch out if you jump big at all, they like to get flat spots much easier than the stock rims. Unless you get reinforcing rings, or beadlocks. Trust me I found that out the hardway a month ago. It only took me a week to get flat spots in three of mine. Wish I'd known that 190's are'nt as strong as stock when I bought them, I'd have gotten the race rims! Good luck.. My .02 cents worth
