Those are AMG right?

What do they weight? Compare to stock wheels? Please post pics when mounted!! They must look really good!

I'm trying to decide between 18 Vs. 19's....plase give me your opinion!

Yes, they are AMG. They have the silver star center which is not shown in the picture. I can weigh them and the stock wheels and let you know the difference. I didn't have time to mount them yesterday so no pics yet.

AMG makes them in 18X7.5, 18X8.5 & 18X9.5 for W203, W209, etc. They are just hard to get in the US right now.

They 18X8 and 18X9.0 is mainly for W211 and the 18X8.5 and 18X10 is mainly for R230.

I don't know what the weather is like down under but it's been raining here all week so I haven't had a chance to mount them yet. It's supposed to clear up tommorow so possibly I'll have pictures tomorrow night, at the latest on Sunday morning.

Are you saying that 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 will fit on the C32? If that's the case, then I think I've found my wheels!!!!

The 18X8.5 & 18X9.5 are listed on the Mercedes AMG website Wheel Generator for W209 CLK55:

http://www.mercedes-benz.com/amg/e/f.../generator.htm

They show the following:

18X8.5 et30
18X9.5 et18

If that offset listing of et18 is correct that seems difficult to fit.

Here are the Pics I Promised
The rear wheels would not fit with the H&R springs so I had to go back to the stock springs (for now, I have a plan to make these wheels work with the H&R springs. More on that later). Without further delay, here are my pictures.

Nice pics of the rims. You have convinced me to get some although I don't know wether 18's or 19's. Do you if 19's fit?. But nice car. I love it.

Currently, there are no 19's for any chassis that using 12mm log bolts. The 19" Double Spoke Multi's use 14mm bolts and the offsets are only for the R230 SL and the W211 E-Class.

Very nice wheels!!!

Looks a bit like Brabus Monoblock VI from a distance. Only the spokes are shorter and 5 spokes instead of 6. They look much better than I expected.
