YES, check the link below

not sure wher you can get them though. Check with those performance shops or any where you know they'll be able to ordered the rims for you. They are in the mid-high $400s

Thanks.
Unfortunately, the wheels for the C-Class are a slightly smaller size than the ones for the E55. The E55 wheels are offered in the following sizes.
AMG Light alloy disk wheels (Style IV)
front 8 J x 18 ET 30
rear 9 J x 18 ET 39
Tires
front 245/40 R 18
rear 265/35 R 18
I would like to believe that I can use them without any trouble. I was just wondering if anyone happened to know for sure before going out and buying them...

If you want to put the 18" Style IV on a W203, you shouldnt get the sizes from the E55. They have a different size for the W203 - 18x7.5 ET37 front and 18x8.5 ET34 rear. Check this out: http://www.mercedes-benz.com/amg/e/f...chtmetall.htm#
They are available now.

Thanks. I guess it's my bad for not making myself a bit clearer. I like the Style IV wheels but I was hoping to use the staggered E-Class widths (8" & 9") rather than the 7.5" and 8.5". I guess it's not really that big of a deal since it is only a 1/2" difference...

The Wheel Supply sells some that look just like the E55 ones. I believe someone had it on their C. Hmm.
Anyways, heres a link to the wheels.

You can't use the E55 wheels for the reasons Harris gave. The bolts are the wrong size and the wheels will fall off if you use them. The 12mm bolts won't fit in the 14mm hemispheric holes properly and they won't have enough clamping pressure to stay tight.

Frank i think you should just stick with yours. its just as nice. i dont think the upgrade to 18s is worth it at all

yeah those are 18s. I like'em because they are wider in the rear and it looks a little bit more aggressive. When it's spinning it'll look even better than the 17s because it has a more sculpted center.

after seeing some rims in person now i understand why people say go 19s. 18s just looks weak now imo. same with tinting (20% or darker)
if it was not my daily driver and i had money to burn i would definitely do that.
dont you drive your bug daily? if so practicality shouldnt be the major concern for you. unless you drive long distance alot.

ahh...****, that reminds me I forgot to start the bug today. Some thing's wasting the battery. If I don't start it once a day the battery will die in two days. Haven't take it in for a check up yet.

Frank, as Harris posted wheels in that style with the proper 12mm bolt holes can be piurchased. That is what is on the C32 in the picture. The actual E55 wheels should not be used for the reasons I posted.

As I have already mentioned before, there is a Style IV 18" one-piece which looks EXACTLY like the E55 standard wheels. In fact, this is the standard CLK55 wheels in Europe. They are 18x7.5 and 18x8.5. No matter you are getting 18x8/18x9 or 18x7.5/18x8.5, you are going to put 225/255 tires anyway.
