Bro, this was the OEM 18 inch rims for the 2016 FL W246.

At that point in time, I did not managed to find it in Singapore.  I checked with CnC and obviously I am not willing to pay that kind of price.
I found it at an overseas website and shipped it in myself.
I am not sure if there is anyone in Sgp that has this now ... but if you are keen to import in yourself, PM me.  I will share more with you.

Swee !

Recently I hit a nail and my front left tyre went flat very quickly. 

Quite a big problem since we dont have a spare tyre.  Luckily I have the continental mobility kit. Pumped it up and managed to drive home as it's late in the night.  Next morning it was totally flat again, pumped it up and managed to drive to a tyre shop (7km away) and managed to get a plug for my few weeks old tyre and saved lots on towing fee.

P.S.  did not use the sealant that came with it as it will ruin the entire tyre.  Just for pumping up the pressure and did not attempt to remove the nail as it helps to be in. 

Is good to have some form of assurance and comfort.  The contimobility kit is quite available at many online sites.  Always good to standby esp if u do go up North.  

Just sharing my experience .... hated those run flat tyres !

Surely seems possible for a W246

Bro, I got this when I bought another car.

But you can get the Continental kit from eBay or other sites.

Alternatively, Pitstop do carry a similar product. SLIME ... different brand but for does the same thing and could be cheaper.

You can check it out at sgcarmart or with them directly.
