Guys, anybody know what happens if you install wheels without TPMS sensors? I am swapping on cheap winter rims (Fast Wheels) and winter tires. Don't feel like paying $600 for TPMS sensors... Will I have some super annoying warning that I have to click OK to on the screen every time I start the car?
without the sensors, it'll give you a message on the dash. Have the tire shop or installer swap the tpms sensors from your stock wheels into the new ones (if they can), and swap back out once your done with the winter rims. That was done on my aftermarket rims. How annoying or super annoying the message will depend on you... i've seen some people put black electric tape over a check engine light and the tape doesn't annoy them at all... hahaha!

More like $155 plus $4.99 shipping on Amazon for (5) TPMS sensors for your C450. That's where I bought my sensors, and they work great.

Do you have more lateral pictures, so i can see how far the front wheel is still inside the fender?
What i have measured with the optional 7,5j x 19 wheels, is that there is about 15mm to come more to the inside, and that there is 15mm between tire and suspension arm. If i calculate ET 31 - 33 would be perfect fit with 8,5" wheels.
Tomorrow my car goes to Fichtenberg Germany, to install KW cooilovers Variant 3. They will use my car as testcar to develop this suspension. I can't wait to see the result within 1 or 2 weeks.

I ordered them from the Mercedes Parts Department. I had a local shop install them. They did have to remove the bumper. Total install time was about an hours.
Thanks! Lowering is next on my list, interested in the KW height adjustable springs but they don't have them for the 450 according to a few dealers that I contacted.
Seen this car in person a few times and its just tasty...love the red/black interior...

I hope these fit the new c43 sedan... crossing my fingers...
I wouldn't be concerned if I were you (says the dude with a C450).
But seriously, the suspension part of the vehicle spec has not changed, so you'll be okay; had mine installed about 5-6 weeks ago. Perfect finishing touch to a slightly too high ride height.

so far i just received a text from the shop, the rears fit perfectly. They're working on the fronts now. Yeah, I shouldn't have any issues... but, i'm still crossing my fingers, hahaha!
