Hi guys

Did some searching, to no avail on this car-

I really like the look of some of the AMG wheels some of which can be found on ebay. I am having trouble finding the specific ones. I was thinking of going with a 17" because roads in Canada get messed up from freezing temps, the more tire the better I figure. If I could run a 50series tire I would be happy. I would like to put a staggered combo on my car, I like the look of a rear wheel 'lip' not sure if there are any replicas with this look.

Any opinions on using staggered wheels on the 4matic?

Does the 4matic have different wheel offsets then other W203's? I want the wheels to look stock, not stick outside the wheel wells.

Where can I find 17' staggered replicas??? Is it so much to ask?

Any other ideas for wheels for my car? Anyone have a some pics of their 4matic and rims? I dont want to pay more then 250/wheel!

I like the style below - also dont mind the turbine style as long as they look like they belong. THX

Nobody knows the stock offset and width on this car? (c350 4matic)

I found the car on tirerack but when I plug it in it comes up with 35mm offset w 8" rims- pretty sure this isnt enough and the wheels will stick out too much.

you didnt get a response as this is discussed at nauseum in older threads. use the search function to get hundreds of detailed posts.

and yes 35mm w/ 8" will work

apologies some of the questions may have been a little early and over discussed. IE the staggered q's however I think some of my questions are valid.

I havent been able to find the offset and width of c350 wheels - would it be the same as the other 4matics? if so what is the spec? I wasnt sure if there was a difference in chassis. And I realize that the offset would work, but it would stick out farther then stock if it were the same offset and wider rim- I dont want to look like a 4x4 mudding truck

I can do the dirty work of shopping for my own rims if I have the data of stock rim size and offset, but it would be nice to get some leads of good quality companies who make/sell replicas. IMO ebay can be full of crap, and you can never be sure of what you are getting.


I have found usarim.com they look like a great company, anyone buy rims from here?

the w203 chassis are all the same, c350 or not, 4matic or not. with this in mind, review what youve discounted as not applicable.
my summer rims are 35mm front and back, 8.5" and 9.5" respective. they do not stick out at all. quite flush. the rear is even set in a hair, calling for a 5mm spacer to push it out to flush.

ok thanks! wouldnt the backs stick out further assuming they are wider w the same offset all the way around? My offset calc says that they stick out 13mm further then the fronts

Part of this might be due to the fenders, maybe there is more room in the back. Instead of a spacer a guy could run 30mm offset for the same "even" look
