8.5" 7-spoke C7 wheels pics
Finally found time to post pictures of 8.5" C7 wheels I got with the help of Harris (forum member), thought others might be interested.
The tires are 255/40/17 Michelin Pilot Sport. The wheels weigh in at 54 lbs (more or less
) vs. 46 lbs stock C7 on the same scale.

I Also agree The Wider Rear C7 wheels Should have been part of the US C7 Option. Makes a BIG Change on the Looks and The way it handles add the C32 Sway bars ..Wow! .. It gives us yet another mod to do!

Hey Vadim, That looks very nice. Great to be staggered. Can the 17X8.5 rear be purchased from any MBZ dealers? What is Stock number? Thanks.

Looks like overall I have now 8-10 extra lbs per wheel (give or take - the old tires had 17,000 mi on, the new ones are, well..., new
) I have found a post stating that each 4-5 lbs of unsprung weight require 1 hp to move the extra weight, so I'm only 4 hp down - shouldn't be too noticeable (indeed so).
