Good luck though, there are a few 300 owners out there who are looking for some nicer rims.

Also something to think about.... I don't believe AMG 18" are swappable to 4-Matic cars. Something about too much of a FWD-like offset on the 4-Matics.

Has anybody who is thinking about non-MB wheels considered whether the tire pressure sensors will work with them? Hmmmm?

Biting the bullet
<<People with 300's won't have 5 star or AMG rims unless they paid for the upgraded rims. If they bought the upgrades they'd probably not be looking to sell them just yet....Good luck though, there are a few 300 owners out there who are looking for some nicer rims.>>
After agonizing for weeks over this issue, I ordered a set of the 18" AMGs today. There are plenty of them in stock in the US now. And that's not the end of it since I also have to order a set of 18" tires to go on them.
The car is due in to Port Heuneme CA on 10/8 and will very likely be in my garage around 10/15. The dealer will install the wheels before delivery which includes transferring the pressure sensors to the 18s.

You should look for a nice aftermarket set. I've had my eye on a set that looks like Mercs own 18" "Pulaha" 5-twin spoke wheel (sold in other parts of the world - See Pg79 & P84). You can then put some winter tires on the 7 spoke OEMs.

Just took delivery of a C300 and noticed the wheels are different from the US model, I am thinking of swapping them with some US C300 owner, just to be different!

Unless you are looking to get some of the AMG rims...in that case go for it.
