new wheels.
Well had the car 2 weeks now and it seems I am back to my old ways. New Grill, clear corners, flat hood emblem, suspension and now a set of these http://www.wheelpower.com/wheels/lor...lor_rsk5_l.jpg . Unfortunately the set I am getting is fully chromed. So I will be stripping the faces and painting. 18x9 and 18x10 ET44 all around. What are you other guys with C43's running? Will I need a spacer?

You'll probably need a 10mm up front and 12mm in the rear. Anything larger and I would recommend a different wheel. Too bad though.. they look nice!

I agree jared, I like the 18" amg. Originally what I was going to do, it take the 17" have the face cut off and widen the lips to make them 17x10 in the rear and use the 17x8.5 in the front. Found a place that does aluminum wheel welding.
ET44 is a bit high, but I believe it might work. I like the oldschool look of the wheel, kinda feel like it fits the era of the car late 90's. Honestly couldnt pass them up, got a RIDICULOUS deal on them with tires.

Try and find some 3pc MAE's the old version I love those wheels on a w202. Too bad they are heavy.

lensolo, you hit the nail on the head. I will be using a 10 in the rear and an 8 in the front. The set up is 18x10 in rear et44 and 18x9 et44 in front. Mounting 255x35x18 in back and 225x40x18 in front.
