Oi, I just found out those sl65 rims are on page 4.

Anyway, I was photoshopping C63 amg rims, 5 spoke ones, which looked great on the car. I remember hunting for them and finding some replicas, some one had a link to their site. I believe they were those rims with the AMC instead of the AMG.
-Anyone know the style name for these rims?
I'm trying to find a quote for the C63 replicas.
And the dealer is closed so I didn't get a chance to call in and ask them the question. I'm itching to get the style name so I cannot wait for tomorrow.

i don't know about the rear, but frank i think has a beefy tire set up. i think it was 235/40 and 265/35 in the rear. or was it 275? i had 235's on my 8.5'' fronts and 265's in the 9.5 rears, and i was rubbing in the back real bad, even when i rolled my fenders.

on 19" just run 235/35/19 and 255/30/19 if you are worried about rubbing in the rear. 245 is undersized for 19 in the rear. you will easily curb or bent the rear with 245s.

tommy,

i have the 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 on my car right now.

on 19's I've already ran 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. rolling your fender's always recommended and a 35 offset on 19x9.5 or 19x10 rear is also recommended. anything higher or lower offset will cause excessive rubbing.

ANYBODY heard of these?

Aftermarket Wheels and Warranty

Tire tread is getting low (23K on the OEM PS-2's), so Im gonna get a set of 18’’ Mandrus Mannheim with BFG G-forces.

Will this void anything on my factory warrantee?

shouldn't. the only stretch i could possibly see them making might be something to do with the 4matic (if you car even has it). for the most part- whatever you replace with aftermarket, only voids the warranty of that particular part. certainly there are some exceptions- but mods within reason are usually fine.

apparently the dealer man says there just called 5 spoke rims.
tough to find them on ebay.
i would call them, but they seem expensive.
so i guess i have to give up on them, and look for something else.

Anybody know if wheels off a 2009 sl55 will fit w203. Tire sizes are 255/40x18 and 285/35x18. I don't know the rim widths etc but they are the stock 18's.

Cool - I just wanna be sure that if I have break problems, or something along those lines, they wont point to the aftermarket wheels and give me some BS about not fixing it...

No they won't, S-class will not fit C-class.
Offset is different.

he said SL, not S.

couple sets of SL wheels will actually work for the C. The original SL500 5-spoke will work, the multi-spoke SL55 will work, the one-piece double 5-spoke will also work.
