looking for cheap 17" wheels for snow tires

Hi Guys, I need help finding cheap winter wheels for my C32. I need 17" but width is not a concern. They must of course clear the caliper. New or used is acceptable. I have found a set of Evolution 7 spokes from a C230 coupe, but am not sure if they will clear the caliper.

Would you be of any interest of a new set of 17" wheels with winter tires mounted and balanced already? I can offer a new set for $1,199 if you are interested.

Thanks, I visited your web site but was unable to find more details on the wheels. What size are they and how much are they?

The Flix wheel will clear the caliper and they don't get any cheaper than these new.

Yeah, we don't bother putting any winter wheel/tire info on the site. We are not to big with that stuff. Enjoy the new wheels though!

try the ASA ST-4 rim.

I got 4 of those and 4 Michilien pilot PA2's for 900.

Plus they look just like my oem amg rims.

Also, check out TireRack. You can search for a tire & wheel package for your vehicle. For the C55, they recommend the moda R3 17" rims with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 - Total cost $1456!
