C32 wheels VS C55 Wheels
I just want to make sure on this. Looks like the C55 wheels on the 2005/6 are the same exact wheel that is on the 2003 C32. They only difference is the ones on the C55 are 18 inch? If this is the case I am going to search for a set of 18" C55 wheels to replace the stock 17" on my C32. The 17" just do not fill up the wheel well. I guess the other options is to drop the car down but I have steep driveway and the front bumper would never clear if I did this.

Thanks

They are slightly different (offsets) but they will fit just fine.

The C32 wheels are rather different than those on the C55. This difference is more than just the size (17" vs 18"). The style and shape of the spokes as well as the center section of the wheel is totally different. They bear a passing similar reseblance but that it is. The two wheels that are the same are those on the CLK55 and the C55. The CLK has a 17" wheel and the C55 has an 18" wheel. Both are the same style and shape with the difference being their diameter. E-bay is a good place to see details like wheels. Look up used cars and compare the ones with OEM wheels, you will see EXACTLY what I mean.
