they look beautiful nonetheless!!! I was very impressed !!! To be honest i think the same company that makes those probably makes them for AMG!!! If you clean up your stock rims really nice on your C32 and turn them ot the other side you will see "RONDELL" written on one of the spokes!!!

anyways, you should see the lipage on these wheels....DAAMMMNNN!!

GOD DAMN THOSE 19'S ARE SICK........ Im looking for a Black/Black or Midnight Blue/Charocal C32 now 02/03 with command. Those 19's are a must. I would imagine you have to be really carefull driving with those wheels to keep em from gettin curbed or bent in potholes.

Get a new eyeglass perscription. There is no such manufacturer as "Rondell". You are close, but no cigar.

Ignorant people make the world go 'round. Rondell is indeed a wheel manufacturer, as seen below:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...918037154&rd=1

and here:

http://www.sherbrook.co.uk/wheels.htm

and here:

http://www.aaarims.com/tires/ron-58-18-5-st-tires.shtml

However, the wheels on the White C32 are most likely ASA wheels, not Rondell.

On another note, the White C32 looks amazing!

nevertheless, i have never seen a non-AMG rim look better on an AMG (or even a simple benz)than a real deal AMG rim until now, even the old ones that looked kinda out of place.

I believe Finland is the home of intelligence as this member actually took the time to read the stamp properly or knew of this wheel manufacturer as an OEM producer. Ronal makes more wheels on the street than you would ever imagine.

My post was meant to elicit the proper name of the wheel company. All too often, mis-information is given out on forums and no one ever questions it.

Roundel is the BMW CCA club publication, which also has vendors selling Ronal wheels for BMW applications. Ronal + Roundel = Rondell? in your book maybe?

Just to clarify, my C32 wheels on my car delivered in California, said "Ronal" on the inside spoke with the offset number. This OEM and aftermarket wheel manufacturer produces their product in Germany. Before this thread, I was unfamiliar with "Rondell", but clearly this company does exist as an aftermarket and replica producer whose wheels appear to also come out of Germany. Smart marketing move on their part to register their name so close to the competition. I don't believe they are as old of a company as Ronal.

If in fact it is true that your C class has OEM wheels made by "Rondell", how many others out their also have Rondell made wheels? and from what country? So far within this thread three of us have Ronal wheels across the globe.

HOLY ISH!?!?!?!?!?! you've guys made my day!!!!!! I've been calling all the dealers hoping to find out if the new CL/SL65 rims will fit the C, cuz I wanted to keep the AMG stock theme, and when I had no luck, I was contemplating between Brabus VI's, LM's, or HRE's ....now it looks like I will be able to get them afterall, now if I can only get my hands on them and possibly make them (paint) look like the ones on the CL/SL 65 where the center is smoked....???
