C43 Coupe - Which wheels?
I honestly cannot decide. It's pretty much the last decision I have left to make...they are both great, just wondering which the masses prefer on this particular spec?

Have fun cleaning the all the brake dust off those black inlayed wheels. I have the black 18" AMG 5 star wheels on my C450, and all it takes to get the black wheels dirty with brake dust is a short trip into town.
This is why I opted for the 19" silver AMG multispoke wheels as my Summers.

I've shared the same viewpoint as a few in here that the split 5s look better on the Coupe. I felt that way since the day I changed my order to a Coupe...I'm just now starting to reconsider the multi spokes. Don't think either is a bad option, which is great, but makes it a tough call.
Appreciate everyone giving me their thoughts.

...and the C450
Do the 5 split spoke AMG wheels even come in a front offset of ET44 for the C300/C400?
All I know is the C450/C43 requires a front wheel with an offset of ET33...and I learned that the hard way!
Another thing to keep in mind when choosing between these two style 19" AMG wheels, the 14 multi-spoke wheel is much easier to find on ebay than the 5 split-spoke...if you ever had to buy a replacement...especially if it's a front wheel with that ET33 offset.
No C300 will have them unless they've gone out of their way to have them.

Having a lower offset just pushes the wheel out further. And on the same body there would be no problems with fitment - it would just look better. In conclusion, C450/43 wheels will fit a c300, but c300 wheels will not fit a c450/43.
