I can't see much of your car, but it looks sweet. Are you replacing your current black wheels?

RMACH

Ya something for now. I spend too much time cleaning the black forgestars.

Hmm.. How much do you want and do you have more pics?

I need something for my slk..

I think they'll work but you may need special wheel bolts. I believe TruTaing put CLS wheels on his W203. You might want to shoot him a pm to confirm..

PS: Post some more pics of the ride - I'm curious how the Forgestars look on a white C55..

Yes you will need bolts
C Classes use a M12x1.50
Note that CLS use a M14x1.50 bolts.

Make sure you get a OEM ball seat if yo uare going to use OEM rims

+1, thinking of getting some gunmetal F14's for my white C55

The CLS wheels look great but I believe they are a higher offset. H&R spacers will have correct part numbers to bring them out to our preferred +30 to +35 offset. You still run 12X1.5 ball set bolts in them but you have to measure the length through the back of the rim to match factory specs.

post some pics of your current wheels, i want them.

I dont think they work....

Certain offset SL wheels are the only ones that will fit without spacers on the C55. You will also need to replace the lug bolts. I did it on mine and absolutely love it: check out link

Hey guys thanks for the help.
I am currently running 225/35/19 fronts and 265/30/19 rears and will rub over a bump or with a couple of heavy passengers in the back.

The ride is a little too hard for me, which is why I decided to go to 18's, I am thinking of going 225/40/18 fronts and 255/40/18 rears. And I found these AMG CLS wheels online for a good price so i picked them up.

Here are the requested pics.






























When I was fitting on the CLS wheels, I ended up breaking the lugs. These gorilla tuner lugs are weak and would not recommend them to anyone.



Can anyone tell me if running a 225/40/18 would rub in the fronts? And where to find some lugs online? Thanks!

I would check out some of the sponsors here on MBworld or you can check with

Post what the offsets are of those wheels.

Those lugs wont work for you either as they are conical while MB wheels typically take spherical seats.

Be sure to NOT over torque your lugs. the proper tq for the lugs is like 72 or 82 ft/lbs.

Just wondering if you plan on selling the Forgestars. If so, what are the offsets and are there any scratches or bends. How are the tires? I'm interested in purchasing them.
