Finally a picture of a white C43 coupe with the twin black 5 spoke wheels

I ordered a C43 with the twin spoke wheels based on the UK configurator pictures. wasn't 100% sure what the real car would look like.



I'm feeling like this was a great choice.

I like these wheels for a number or reasons.

But they straight up look small for a 19 inch wheel and that's the main reason I went with the multispokes.

I also think the C43 needs just a little bit of a drop from the pictures and vids. I've seen online. Will revisit this when our's arrives in October to see how it looks on the multispoke 19"s.

i wonder if it would sit a bit lower in sport+ since this video is of a non running car.

Well I have ths week driven a C43 saloon in the UK! It is as awesome machine and very much looking forward to mine arriving! It is in Southampton if anyone UK is interested!!! fairly basic model but the engine is good - really good, 9sp box and the 4matic make it a weapon.... The wheel arch gap did not look bad to me in the flesh just looks really balanced!! (Not like a BMW XDrive which is on comedy stilts)!!

in my opinion the multispokes looked too busy - I have gone with the split 5 spoke! The only bits I was a bit miffed at were that the steering wheel is not AMG badged, the centre console is not AMG badged. That aside can't wait

Order the AMG steering wheel (either of the 2 optional steering wheels) and it will be AMG badged.

Console is a different story, but the badge for that is an easy mod if you're really wanting it.

C450, GLC43
Contrast and lighting affect the impression quite a bit.
Do these appear too small? In person they turn quite a few heads.

am i weird for wanting to have less AMG badges?

Some part of me wants to remove every AMG badge on the car, even the one on the grill so the car just looks more or less like a C300. Just seems cleaner.

We will be de-badging, maybe just keeping the small AMG badge on the grill.

De-badging = stealthier
A good thing
