Wheels for C32..?

Will these rims:
AMG style III; 9½ J x 18 EH2 ET 33 and 8½ J x 18 EH2 ET 30

fit the W/S203 AMG C32

Of course not with those tyres, I will have 225-40-18 and 255-35-18..

But will the rims fit?

Anyone who have these rims on their C32AMG or other W203 here on the forum?

I've seen this style rim on the C32 before, I think they actually offered it as an option from the factory. However, make sure they came off of a CLK/C etc. since one's off of an E/S/CL might not fit.

Someone else chime in on the offsets.

Ok, yea I think the offset is wrong for my W203,, I should probably go for the 8x18 and 9x18 in the same style..

They will absolutely fit perfectly, and look good too. These are most likely from an SL55 AMG. I had these exact wheels with the exact dimensions on my C32. I sold them a month later because they were so heavy. I could feel that my car was slower.

The rim weights were about:

29.5 lbs FRONT
31.0 lbs REAR

These figures come from subtracting the tire weight reported by www.tirerack.com from the total weight I measured the wheel/tire assemblies at. For reference, the stock wheels weigh about 5 lbs less per wheel. This doesn't sound like much, but with larger tires to fit the larger rims, I added almost 10 additional pounds per wheel. This is nearly 40 extra pounds of rotational, unsprung mass! Thats a really big deal. Now I'm running SLK55 AMG wheels. They weigh a tad less than stock and look good.

might be from CL/SL by looking at the tire size...
offset may not be right for W203...
