Help finding rims that work

Hey guys,

I am looking to get some rims for my c300 4-matic sport, and my dealer is having trouble trying to find some that fit the offset/spacing of the c300. The style I am looking for is this:

A dark (not black) wheel with a polished lip. Anyone have any they can recommend that will work on the c300 at 18" and 19" sizes?

I was told from the guy I get rims from that I basically need a rim with an offset no less than ET45. Is this correct?

My issue is that I gave him about 4 different rims that I really like and he said the offset doesn't work for any of them.

Yes. The offset is high on the W204. I have the exact numbers at home. My 18" option wheels are mid 40s up front and low to mid 50s (54mm I think) in the rear. The bolt pattern is 5x112. I'll check the centerbore when I get home, but I think it's 66.1mm. I'll check for the exact numbers and post them if noone else does. You may have to change your wheel choices.

Just got home. I have the 18" optional AMG wheels.

Front: 18x8, 50mm offset.
Rear: 18x8.5 54mm offset, plus I added 5mm spacers, so the offset is 49mm. There are no isues with 5mm spacers.

The center bore is 66.5mm.

The diameter has little to do with offset if the tire widths are within range. You need to know the width of the wheel.

I'm looking for rims for my C300 4-matic as well. I really like the look of the 18-inch AMV twin spoke wheel that is an option from MB, but the $4000 price tag is crazy. Any idea's on where to get replica wheels? I've found some that will fit the C350, but something about the staggering or spacing seems to be an issue. Can anyone explain this and give some advice on where to find these rims? It's a great car, but the 2008 standard wheel make the car look boring compared to the ones that are available for 2010. Thanks.

Do you know where I can get replica AMG 18" spoke wheels like the ones that come on the 2010 C300 4 Matic?

Yes. W212 wheels will work. I was very close to getting a set, but I think I want 19" for my next set. There are actually two different sets of W212 wheels that are 18", but look like the 17" C350 split 6 spoke wheels. They are nice and wide too.

This is exactly what I've been looking for! If you're talking about the 17" AMG 6-spokes, that is. I want that in 18". I've been looking at a lot of 19" for a while, but with the kind of roads around these parts, it's just not gonna work.
