however keep in mind that you won't be able to get any sort of lip for the rear rims

Don't get me wrong, I think those wheels look awesome. However, I personally love the stock C55 wheels and think it is a waste of money buying wheels for this car. That is just my candid opinion. If the C55 came with ugly 17's, then I would say yes, but with the stock 18s being as nice as they are, I find it hard to justify spending the >3K on aftermarket wheels (that is unless you have money to **** away on items like that, and if that were the case you would probably be driving something nicer than a C55).

mbmexico's car is hott! but, I'm not feeling the Mono S's at all. I think there are better wheels for the price and they look kind of odd to me at an angle. I think they look better on the w221 S-Class...

i like the no lip style too, it's certainly a trend. one might be tempted to say, "no lip is the new lip", lol. that being said, the monoblock S seem more suited to the newer bodystyles, i.e. CLS and 06 S class.
hre's look too cookie cutter to me, not enough depth in the design by virtue because they have to be made to fit multiple applications.

i like the rims
but they are too much like AMG's from like the CL55
i would go with them before the brabus and i love brabus to death
the money though, i would get the CL55 rims, there fore they are readily available for a while through the dealer should you need to replace one r two for whatever reason.
just my opinion

I have them in my SportCoupe. 11 Kg. for a 8.5*18'. They look better in real life than the pics.
