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?

Option A:



Option B:

A. Like B on the sedan. A looks better on the coupe I think.

A looks better. Apart from that, B is a PITA to keep clean.

2016 C450 AMG
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.

split 5's look better on the coupe IMO.

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.

split 5's are unique to the 43 if that gives any weight.

No c300 will have them unless they've gone out of their way to have them.

...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.

Right, sorry that first part was implied.

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.

i got A on a white coupe. though i think B works on darker colors.

generally like A better though, especially since its C43/450 exclusive and normal C300s can get the B rims
