Anyone here running OEM 16" CLK forged wheels?
I'm curious to hear from those who are running OEM 16" CLK forged wheels on all four corners (or if there's anyone crazy to enough to). I'm curious since the forged 16" CLK wheels can only fix a max tire size of 205 size and if you fit them with the sticky soft sticky tires would it be enough to compensate for stock wheels/tires? I'm curious to hear from the application of this in an C32.

Yes sure, 16" CLK Rims are great for less weight & tracks,
your Rotor is 330mm while C32 is 345mm,,
prefer if you can measure your front calipers & posted here, to compare them with C32's....

are you talking about the machined wheels that came on the 320 sport? also refereed to as "CLK light weights". I have a set that I am going to be putting on my W201 sportline. You can actual get these in an 8" width and run a 225 on them with no issues. I don't know about running them on a c32 but they will clear the 400e calipers.

The SLK32/C32 wheels are front 7.5 and rear is 8.5 so having non-staggered setup would probably increase handling capabilities IMO.

Forged?
With a few exceptions, I haven't seen a forged wheel on a Benz since he the good old days. From a 208? In a 16?mmmmm.

They are hard to find in the 8' width. It is a popular upgrade for the 190e's. You might check out the 190rev.net sight and see if there are any for sale.
