wheels on my C43...
here it is finally, its ok, i want 18inch black monoblocks next year but these will do for now.. im gettin my H&R sport springs installed in a week and the same time im gettin my door handles, side pillars, and sprayer nozles ( on hood) painted silver to match the body ... i notice the weight of the wheels so much, oh well keeps my speeds low haha 
they will do for now, if anyone wants to trade for monoblocks im so down!

I love chrome but it's the design of the wheels that bothers me. So un-benz...seem better suited to a Chrysler 300. Although I wouldn't put them on that car either. Let me also say I mean no disrespect. If you like them that's all that really matters.

none
Those would look good on an old school cadillac. You don't have an old caddy for these do you?? You probably now have a good understanding of rotating mass. Heavy wheels just aren't good.
I'd Flee-Bay those wheels and get some ultra lightweight open design wheels.

oh dude! how could you choose those over the 17inch monos!!
is it just me or does the ride height seem higher than stock!? Once you get your 18inch monos and lowered it will be sweet as, the tint looks awesome.

buying tires for 17" aren't that bad. you can get Generals or Kumhos for around or less than $100 each on tirerack. If those 18" are 100% free then...yea...might as well put them on to save money. But if it's me, I would sell them on ebay and get tires for 17" before able to get something I like. just imo.
