You can order them from the one you bought the bi-xenons from!

i hope so, i almost fell of my chair when i saw what they are going for, hehehe

If anyone has some pics of these rims on a c32 could you please post the link here to them.

I wanted to get them in black with a chrome lip, does HRE sell them like that or will i have to go through a place that paints wheels?

Hello Harris,

Can you tell me how taxes/duties work when you ship something from Canada to the US?

I'm originally from Canada and I've always had a hard time sending stuff back to folks in Toronto.

Do I have to pay duty on auto parts shipped across the border?

To US:
Anything declared over USD200 is subject to US duties, taxes and brokerage. Anything under USD200 is tax free. If the goods are made in Canada, only state tax is charged.

To Canada:
EVERYTHING gets taxed. Even a pack of gum is taxed! Depending on where the goods are made, if its made in USA, 7% GST ONLY. If the goods are NOT made in USA, then 7% GST + PST + 6-8% duties + x % excise tax. You will end up paying around 30% in total. Yikes!!!

Forget about it. If you put 20" wheels on a C32, it will run slower than a C240 and you can't make turns. Not to mention that you MUST roll the fenders. And I dont know which 20" wheel will clear the front calipers.

To answer your previous question....you can ask HRE to paint the wheels for you in any color (for an additional fee of course). Its just a custom finish.

is the offset on the C32 wheels 5 x 112 by chance?

5x112 is called the BOLT PATTERN. All Mercedes have 5x112 bolt patterns.

C32 standard offsets are ET37 front and ET34 rear. But this is for AMG wheels only. A non-AMG wheel with ET37 front offset will not clear the calipers.
