and would this offset (42 front, 45 rear) look flush with the fenders?

Looks similar to these Carlssons. I prefer the Euro version because it deletes the embossed details.
Great Price!

Not bad! Price is good too. I'm personally a 5 spoke fan but these are decent.

I really like the 5 spoke Stance SC5, but I don't know about putting a 10" wide rim in the back. I think it'll wear the 4matic on the long run and I drive 25k miles a year! I reAlly like the clean finish and classiness of these! Can't beat the price too!

Too many spokes for me, and not deep enough.... sorry but that's my honest opinion.

It looks ok... If you want the stock look than you'll be fine with it.

Wheel offsets are fine. The rears will sit a little flush especially if you decide to lower your car.

They are ok if you are looking for a "luxury" look. Not my thing on a C63 (if I had one)...the cleaner and the sportier the better.

I suspect cinderblock heavy.

Ebay note: "stainless rims", material ... alloy

You can't weld aluminum to stainless, and I see no bolts.

Likely all steel, with stainless rims. I saw 31 lbs mentioned near same add for same type wheel.

Pretty, but fat as a hippo

Yikes....!!!! a red flag indeed! Remember Tasho3, weight, especially anything over 25 lbs slows down your car.

Hmm. Truthfully, I would never get these wheels for my car. That's my opinion though. Like it? Go for it.
