Is this an OEM Mercedes wheel and does it belong on a C230 W203?
I may be looking at this car on Friday. It has wheels that are different from any other W203 that I have looked at. I just want to know if they are stock and belong on the car. I'm reluctant to deal with spacers and longer bolts. They do say "AMG" on them, but that may or may not mean anything. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thanks - It is nice to know it was designed for the car. Since the catalog indicates "light weight" I assume the AMG wheels are somewhat lighter than the stock wheels. Reducing un-sprung weight is usually a plus.

I have those wheels on my '03 c230k presently and really like them. In fact so much that I just had them powder coated (brightest silver they had). They are light wheels and fit over the '05 c-piston sport brakes I have nicely. Mine are 17" and are mounted with no spacers and with the stock wheel studs.

Messed up, these are the one's I have which I believe are very close in specification to the ones you show in staggered 17" form.

Thanks again. I have a long list of issues to check on when I look at the car. At least I don't have to assess whether a set of aftermarket wheels are going to cause a problem

Always thought the Style III's were exclusive to the R230's. You learn something new every day.
