2011 Mercedes C300 - Upgrade to chrome AMG wheels
The wife would like to upgrade to some chrome (bling) AMG wheels on her 2011 C300.

The car is currently sitting on 17" inch wheels, so depending on what we find, we will stick with the 17" inch, possibly going up to 18" inch wheels, but for sure not any larger than 18" inch.

As I am not up for paying dealer prices, I am shopping craigslist and eBay. However, in order to ensure proper fit without any modifications, can anyone tell me what ET I can use/need to look out for when purchasing these wheels?

Thanks in advance.

Any more input here, or are what Adi-Benz "BELIEVES" the correct ET Values for our 2011 C300?

Thanks in advance.

Not mine either, but it is the Mrs.' car and as you said, everyone is different, to each their own.
Happy Wife, ...... Happy Life.

Below Pic shows the rims she had on her BMW, which did not look too bad. I think as long as she uses OEM/AMG, it will look ok.

Aftermarket Rims as shown in the picture posted by Adi-Benz are just terrible, ...... IMHO.

Looks like the exchange deal for $750 is a good bet if you want to stay with that wheel size/style. https://www.lawheel.com/wheels-and-t...-exchange.html

On the 'Additional Information' tab they have the offsets and other specs.

I've never had chromes on a car but I like the way they look on a W204 ...
