Does Axis Milano wheels have a fitment for C32?

Hi,

Does anybody know if Axis Milanos have a fitment for C32? Do they have an offset that will fit and clear the caliper? I'm not sure what offsets are available, so I'm wondering if anybody with a C32 has them.

Thanks.

I bought this rims and it didnt fit. you will need a 20mm spacers on the front that will make your rims stick out like 7mm, the rear you will need a 5mm spacers also. I had to return it and get TSW.

I thoght that a C32 was exact as a CLK 430.

I have also read that the CLK does not need any spacers if getting the 37 offset rims - Axis Milano in 19x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5.

Can anyone clarify here?

Thanks.

you will able to fit it if you dont have the Big Brake kit. if you change it to a stock caliper it will fit but it wont fit if you have the AMG brakes without spacers.
this is the spacer you will need to make it work


this is with the spacers.



if you dont mind having you front tire sticking out like this and having vibration on your steering wheel then go for it.

I would look for another rim its not worth the hassle

the Milano will not clear the bbk without use of spacer. It's the same situation with the Phin.

I had Phin and has to custom the front spacer 13mm. Mine didn't stick out that bad like Trek's car tho.

Do you mean will not clear the CLK 208 if the brake calipers have been changed to AMG ones?

Just to clarify, it will clear if using the stock brake calipers?

Thanks.

Thanks for explaining. Trekman as well, expecially for the pics.

I got a wholesale quote from a "friend" who owns a shop for a set of Axis Milano "Style" rims 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 for $1,000 U.S. These apparently are the same as Monet Gothic rims which are both made by the same manufacturer.

The seller states...
...."4 BRAND NEW CARLSSON STYLE STAGGERED Rims.
...."These wheels are manufactured by AXIS's OEM manufacture. Same as AXIS Milano."

What do you guys/gals think of the price for the knock of of the knock off? Meaning, They are a knock off of the Axis Milano which is a knock off of the CArlsson 2/5 rims.?
