Ah, I didn't even realize there was more than one replica of the same wheel. There's a guy on eBay selling rear one piece Brabus Mono VIs in 18x9.5 for $300 each, but then I'd have to find two fronts...

Hi all:
I have a question re: wheel fitment on my 2005 C55 AMG. A friend wants to sell me his 18x8.5 F. and 18x9.5 R. IForged seneca’s made for his 2006 SLK350.
Does you think these will fit and clear my OE AMG calipers? And does anybody know what each of these wheels would weigh? I am guessing about 20-21 lbs.
I found the OE offset for the C55 to be 30mm for the front amg 18x7.5 wheel; and 34 mm for the rear amg 18x8.5 wheel.
However, I have been running SLK55 AMG rims 18x7.5 ET 37mm front and 18x8.5 ET30 mm rear for two years now without adverse affect.
Also, alloys direct lists front/rear ET 37/30 as correct for both the w203 and the w171 in the 18x8.5/18.9.5 wheel size.
Consequently, I do not know for sure what offset spec's Iforged was using for the 2006 SLK350, but a good guess would be f/r 37/30.
Thoughts?

Photoshop help please (wheels)
Would any of the photoshop gurus care to help me out here? Looking to see how these Antera 369's (the wheels on the W204) will look on my C230.
Thanks a lot!

I have the same question. I cant fit a hair between the spoke and caliper. I do 150/ 160 MPH on the Autobahn alot and im worried about high speed corners and wheel flexing. There is about 3/4" clearance between strut and rim so im not worried there. If they clear the caliper should I be worried or just do 10MM in the front to be safe???? I might just put them on the wifes 06 C230.

Thanks

Thanks Frank
Im trying to de-stagger. Rims are 18x8 et35. If they clear my C32 calipers then shouldnt they clear a 06 C230 caliper with much more room?
Anyone have tire size recommendations?

They're SL63's, Tommy.
Beautiful as hell!
The only difference I've really noticed between the monarch hamburgs vs. sl63's are
-AMG writing on the 63's
-The spokes connect directly to the rim as opposed to the hamburgs which end inside of the chrome lip
But I wish I had a decent paying job that would allow me to make more mods!!!
