I like the look of the 18" C55 better than my C32 17"s

But the e55 ones are easier to find in UK.

ARE THEY THE SAME AS THE C55's?

Didn't mean to shout LOL

CHEERS

The offset would require a 5mm spacer up front. You would also need different wheel lugs as the ball seat on the E55 wheels is larger and the lugs would need to be shorter than the stock C55's. It can be done but involves work and extra parts.

The older W210 wheels fit with their offsets, they are the sale as the SL's.
