Is it "poserish" to put AMG rims on a regular C300?

I would just watch out which ones you get. I was looking at the C63 18" they look the same as the third, and the offset on the front wheel even though it's the same with width was smaller. This would push the wheel further out. This makes sense on the C63 with the front flared, but not sure what will happen on the standard front fenders.

Definately not. MB sells AMG wheels as an option on all of their models.
They are made by AMG, but does not mean your car is an AMG model.
Sticking an AMG badge on your car is definately "poserish."

I like the first one because of the clean European look (looks like something between a 17" AMG C-class wheel and the Audi S-line wheels). I also like the 3rd one as well.

I think it is, because it kinda sends the message that "I can't afford a C63, but I bought the rims!." I personally like the standard sport rims the best on the C300.

Just my 2 cents

Those wheels aren't even an option for the C63.

WTF are AMC's? I can't believe that $h1T.
The 2nd one is the same as the 3rd but w/o the Gray detail on the spokes and w/o the *** AMC)

I think the 2nd ones more loosely resemble the E63 AMG wheels without the darker inner part of the spoke.


And the 3rd ones resemble the S550 AMG Sport wheels. The differences are subtle, but they're there.

They look nice, but those thin spokes expose the small brakes of the C and then it just looks weird, imho.

I like the third wheel due to the charcoal color. Call the seller and see if it actually says AMC. They may have had to change the photo for copyright reasons.
