Just sharing some pictures I've taken over the ownership of my C32. It's a full bolt on car with Tony tune and res delete. Runs about 18psi with intake temps 15F above ambient so long as it isn't too hot outside.

I love the car, but I do terribly miss driving manual haha. Located in the northern Illinois not too far from Speedriven.

Nice
what wheels attack they from?

They are the 18" versions of the the SLK specific 5 single spoke AMG rims. Very hard to find in the 18" size, but there's a decent amount of the 17" size floating around. I've attached a photo of the SLK55 they came on as O.E.

If you need the model number let me know and I can dig around for it.

nice 32 neighbor. There's a few of us NI guys around here. Did Speedriven do the work on your car?

Anymore info on those 18inch amg slk wheels would be appreciated thanks

So far I have done all of the work on my car myself. Including but not limited to, the trans flush, radiator install, PLM H/E install, pulleys, headers, I/C iso,full suspension, flashing the tune and some interior upgrades. Part of me wants to put it up for sale just to see if anyone's interested but it would have to go to the right home, and I wouldn't only want to sell in order to get something with a proper manual.

I've attached a picture of the spokes on the rims. In my opinion they are some of the most beautiful simple AMG rims.

Nick - let me know if you guys plan to get together somewhere in Northern IL.

Love to see the chicago C32 group get together as these cars are becoming more rare each day.

I'm about to get a Srt6/m112k engine swap done on my 2003 C32 that I've had for 11 years and has been an exceptional and fun car aside from bent rod in cylinder 1 due to hydrolock/stuck open injector. its not cheap to do the engine swap, but i love the car and am not letting go of it anytime soon. i found a good working 90k mile m112k engine from a srt6 and have one of the best c32/srt6 guys doing the swap. hoping to bring it back to life in January once the swap is done. its not my daily driver anymore but strange to admit that i actually enjoy the raw feel of how the c32 drives more than my 15 E63 amg ha.

Glad to hear you're fixing her John! The C32 is an awesome car and worth keeping. Can I assume Rudy is doing the work? he's the man for this stuff!

Awesome to hear about someone local jvakos! As for now, she's put away under the MB cover and on the battery tender. I hate how the absurd amounts of salt they spread on the roads out here reeks havoc on our w203 chassis. The car will definitely be out when it starts to warm up again though, so certainly in time for you to get yours back!

Its awesome to hear that you're going to keep her going instead of junking her, I know a lot of C32 owners give up on these cars and it makes me so sad. They are amazing performers for what they are and with the right suspension they handle incredibly well too!
