Wheels for 2003 C32
I have a C32 that has 18 inch wheels-8.5 front and 9.5 rear. I have attached a picture of the rim (looks very much like the AMG 810 on Power wheels pro). One of the rear wheels has a crack along the inside of the rim that causes a slow leak. I have tried the repair route but the crack reopens. I am trying to find either a replacement rim that matches the current ones or find a replacement set if that is not feasible. The car has 150k on it and so I am hoping to keep the expense to a reasonable level. I need help with the offsets needed in front and rear and possible places to find replacement(s). I am in central Missouri. Thanks very much in advance for the advice.

I have these same wheels. Mine are Voxx MB5's. They come in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with an offset of ET30 for both sizes. I am going to have to replace one of my front wheels as it is bent pretty bad on the inside lip. Voxx doesn't make this wheel anymore so you have to search the web for someone with leftovers. You are looking at about $135 each give or take. These are E63 replica wheels from about 2006 or 2008 or so.

No. I don't have spacers now and I am using Tein springs on the stock struts. It is like 1.6 front drop and 1.2 rear drop with these springs. And I believe the front doesn't have the spring pads. At least I think that is what the previous owner said he did before I bought it.

Wheels C32
I a going to check the offsets on the wheels I have on. I noticed that some of the wheels for sale specifically for the C32 have a 32 front and 35 rear with the 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. I am trying not to require new tires. Your car looks great. It is a match for mine-although yours is clean...
Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the compliment. Are you looking to purchase all new wheels? Or just replace the one that is cracked?
