So I was on the Costco Canada website looking for winter tires for next winter for my C450. Stumbled on their wheels section. Looked at their fit guide and guess what, C450 AMG is specifically listed with fitment in 18".
The brand is C-Wheels and the model that fits the C450 (according to their guide) is the Orion in 18". It does not list offset on the Costco website... They may not actually fit at all...
Not a terrible looking wheel for winter... They are dirt cheap $680 canadian for a set of 4 with free shipping. They are no doubt Made in China, Gravity Cast cheap wheels... I just wonder how heavy they are...
I certainly don't want to drive my AMG wheels in the winter - this seems like an economical alternative - I have a 39 month lease so these need to last for 3 winters...
I am tempted to order a set - hard to beat Costco for returning stuff for any reason..
Thoughts? Remember that I am in Atlantic Canada - 4 months of the year are a write off where your car is dirty the second you drive out of the garage - covered in salt and slush.
Why not go to a Costco that has a tire shop ( not sure about where you are, but all the Costco locations around my area have them) and buy a wheel tire package there and have them test fit them on the car. If they don't fit, not your problem, just walk away.
If you do decide to do this, report back. I will definitely look into this once I get my car. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm seeing prices on there of $400-600 USD per wheel, that's like $520-$780 of our CDN bucks. A bit steep for winter wheels. We were talking about the C-wheels at $680 CDN for the set...

Thanks - have not decided on this yet. Still looking at my options... I wish I could at least know what width they are before ordering... I will try calling Costco corporate...
Do these wheels (Costco Orion posted above) work on an MB? I am new to MB and am not sure which style wheels go with the brand. To me, they slightly remind me of the C63S forged wheels, but obviously not as nice or even remotely the same quality :
