OEM Benz wheels that fit the C32
I just got into a C32 and it has c230 wheels on it. I'm interested in changing them. I would like to stay with OEM Benz wheels that bolt on (correct bolt pattern/offset) with NO modications (spacers etc). I've been searching the forums and have some ideas, but would aperciate additional input. Thanks in advance!

basically any rims that will clear the calipers will fit. All Mercedes have the same lug pattern. Any AMG rims will "fit". When you find a set your interested in, its more about what tires you need to run considering the offset of them.

To answer your question, OEM AMG rims from the C55, CLK55, CLK63, and SLK55 should bolt on with no need for spacers or any worry about clearing brakes or rubbing or need to change lug bolts.
Even non-AMG OEM Benz rims designed for the W203 C-class, W209 CLK-class, and R171 SLK-class should fit with no need for spacers, as long as they are at least 17" diameter. Smaller rims will not clear the front brake calipers. But be careful, as there are some 17" rims which will not clear the front brake calipers, so you have to check.
For example, I have OEM 18" Style VI AMG rims from the CLK63 as my summer street wheels, and I have OEM 17" "Celaeno" rims designed for the standard W203 C-class as my winter rims.

You might try Gene Gorman if you want a perfect set of OEM C32 wheels. I thought they were kinda pricey, but they look in great shape.

can somebody please verify that a 2007 c230 17" 6 spoke rim fits a c32? i read that someone here tried it and it didn't fit. either he got a replica or it just doesnt fit.
thanks!

^ since nobody seems to have an idea about my question.. ill just answer it for peoples who want to change their stock 17" amg rims that look like 15" cause of the squarish design..
the rims i got were from the sport 2007 c230.. offset is 36 front and 34 rear.. 7.5, 8.5 wide..
they FIT and clear my calipers.. now my rims look like 17s. i could swear my 17" m-contours look a lot bigger than the stock 17" amg twin spoke.
my C32 now looks like a slow car.
