ASA Wheels
Need some help on this one. Recently hit a bad pothole, and bent both passenger side AMG stock wheels. The price to repair these + shipping back/forth is just too much and I need to refinish all four wheels anyway...
So, I'm going with a new set of 17" wheels. Yeah, yeah I should go 18" but I've got 4 cars (1 is being restored and taking up all my free cash) and the C43 is my daily driver.
In an old post, another forum member in South Carolina (scary I remember that) installed these ASA wheels from The Tirerack and I'm hoping that someone can confirm the wheel sizes and offsets before I call Tirerack:

While I don't think the anthracite centers are still available, here's a pic of the wheels I plan to get:

Any other C43 wheel tips? Can I go 9" rear & 8" fronts with the stock size tires? Suggested offsets?
Thanks!

Here's the original thread:

The black C43 in the original post has ADR wheels...not ASA.

honestly i'd get the Monoblock6's off ebay they are rediculously inexpensive for 18s and they look fantastic. You can even get them in an aggressive staggered setup. hope that helps
