WANTED: 18" Factory Rims C300/C350

If anyone is selling their factory 18" rims off a C300 or C350 let me know. I'll pay $1,000 (if tire milage low). This is same price as factory upgrade would cost and you can put it towards your 19"s or 20"s.

Is there OEM 17 inch AMG rims? Or the AMG ones only come in 18's?

Edit: If yes, I'm interested in buying 17 inch AMG rims that anyone may want to sell.

Yes, there are 17" AMG rims that come standard on C350's and non 4-matic C300 Sport models if I recall correctly. The C300 Sport's w/ 4-matic have a different style 17" rim and I'm not sure if it's branded as an AMG part.

lol , $1000 for a set of AMG 18" ? you are really in dream.

the $1000 you paying to dealer is upgrading the 17" set, not a brand new set. think smart

yeah, there's no way you're gonna get that for $1000. You're gonna have to cough up over 2k for a set of 4. Heck the tires alone are worth around 1K when new. Look at it this way, stock 17s that people don't pay extra for sell for 800-1000 I've seen with tires. We paid an EXTRA $1k for the upgrade. It's not like we paid that $1k for the 18s and got to keep the stock 17s. If so, your logic would make sense.

I believe there are 3 different model styles of the 17", but only 1 for the 18".

Are you sure you can use the AMG rims on the 4-matic's? I'm not sure, but I seem to recall the OE AMG rims were only available on the RWD cars. I'm not sure if it's the bolt pattern, offsets or what but I think the 4-matics don't use the staggered rims either. Might want to double check that before you buy.

And a lot of people waited extra time for their 18inch AMG, and there is no way they will sell you for $1000. you should just go for replica, almost same look but way cheaper.

In canada, the 18" AMG rims are not even an option on the C300, only on the C350. Hence why im looking for them now.

Dealer cost for the 18s is $2130 retailing at $3290. I paid $2350 for the wheels and $948 for the Bridgestone RE-050A tires. Mounting and balancing could be additional.

Costs money to look good.

Talking

ok now i think this thread is getting a lil stupid

u cant expect me and or anyone else, to offer to pay what the dealer is selling to a forum member or for used sets, otherwise id just go to the dealer?, i do agree to being reasonable, but as u all know the term "stealership" theres deals to be had from other forum members, ebay, etc. It's valid to look for bargains elsewhere, rather then the dealer.

this thread is a WTB thread, if ur selling, name ur price and interested parties shall PM you, otherwise theres no need to knock anyone...

just my 0.2 cents.

So anyone selling 18" AMG option rims ? end of day we're here to help each other!

I have a set of 17inch AMG wheels that came with my C350. They only have 500 miles on the tires, everything in perfect condition. I am also willing to add the spare as well. PM me if anyone has any interest.

I thought the 18" were 8.5" front/9.5" rear in width. Am I wrong?
