SO apparently the CL-63RS won't clear my big front brakes.

There's a set of 18" authentic Brabus Vs in the classifieds for $1000, otherwise looking at a 19" rep of the AMG c55 w/ rivets from formymerc.com for also a $1000

Are the C350 front brakes bigger than the C230 Sport brakes? I had one guy tell me they wouldn't clear my brakes either.

Cale, you officially have WADD - Wheel Attention Deficit Disorder.

I personally lkie the AMG reps, but also depends if you want to go for an aftermarket look. Brabus ones are still nice, Good luck choosing!

I had to use 10mm spacers on my 19s to clear my BBK. That's why I bought my 18s for the winter with a custom offset to eliminate the spacers.

Greg - without a damn doubt.

I'm so SO confused. I've got my head in a tailspin with all my different options

I hate to use spacers if I don't have to. I hate to lose ride quality. I hate all the different options. I hate WADD!!!!!

sb.leg - Yea, the brakes are bigger. I don't know much about them, but I know for sure they're bigger than the 230s. Can anyone chime in with anymore info on my brakes? Im about to puke from being so indecisive about the wheels I cant think straight.

Here is some good info on the brakes.

Yeah, then they probably won't fit.. mine barely clear it. I can only put a few pieces of paper between my calipers and the rim.

Honestly, I'd go with either spacers on the 63RS or the c55 rims.

Cale, I'm pretty sure the C350 brakes are 13.6" diameter rotors vs the C230 Sport being 12.8" - also you have 4-piston front calipers instead of the C230's 2.. ask Nick, it's the bane of his existence.

Also, I seem to remember a previous thread containing the word "FINAL" in it. You have the BEST looking W203 rims there are, period. Be happy!

cpbeasley

I know I love to look and get SOO caught up in it!

Last annoying wheel thread from me! (for real this time

Is Nick's time in the corner up yet? I'll be sure to ask him if I forget but thanks for the official numbers, good to know
