Monos all the time, preferably in 18". Perfection any time!

I'll chime in with the 18 monos or you might also like the 18 AMG SL that came on the 2001–2002 SL600 as they are a bit deeper in the rears. Personally, I'm not a fan of the 19s on this car but my favorite rim would be replica mono 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the rear, but I've yet to find them aside from pictures.

19's are too big on the c43 IMO, tires will be tiny and you lose that true performance look, also 19s get heavy.
if only choice is 17 and 19 then i say 17 monos. i have 18's but not monos.

Wow, those wheels have some hot sized lips 
However, I wonder if you can drive with those wheels specially up front. The clearance between the edge of the tire and fender is very very close, in fact I wonder if the driver can turn without rubbing somewhere, specially if he hits a bump.

Yeah it looks like it's not an AMG so he might be able to getaway with those wheels more easily than us with C43/36. The brake package is smaller so it's probably easier to make those fit without rubbing against the calipers. The front fender looks like it has been seriously though.

Jeesh that last picture of that c class looks nice. like drb said though it may be a little low. Too low for my liking I like a car to be a bit more functional. those rims in oem silver gray would give off the oem look.

AMG has a fitment chart that shows 18x8.5f and 18.10r (et 25 all around). Found out that those pictured above with the lips are 17x9 and 17x10, and definitely discontinued.
Curious though, What size 19s would fit on the c43? I found a really nice set I want to jump on of 19x8.5 and 19.9.5.
