Check out these wheels on Ebay http://tinyurl.com/2fgk97

They are a staggered set with 17x8 fronts and 17x8.5 rears. Chrome or Silver finish.

I know the OEM for the C43 is 17x7.5 and 17x8.5. I intend to use the tires I have on the OEM wheels, as they have less than 10,000 miles.

Will this work?

Should I go with Silver or Chrome finish?

Thanks to all for your contributions.

 

Nice find! I would go with silver, but if you like chrome then you should get that. Very good price!

 

those are replicas..... why would you do that? its like rockin a fake louis purse.

 

I was going to get a set for the track until I emailed them and found out how much they weigh... 26lbs each!!!

 

check out tirerack.com - the oem AMG wheels weigh 25.6lbs and 26lbs.

plus, the set of 4 is $1,600.

The lightest weight wheel for the car on TireRack weighs 16.8lbs - so, you save 40 lbs?

I know a lot of folks who drag race, and for every 100 lbs you drop, you save about 1/10 of a second.

And don't forget, lightweight wheels equal bent rims when it comes to potholes.

 

If i could afford a strong, 16.8lb wheel I would definitely jump on it. 40lbs of unsprung weight loss is VERY significant. Especially where it is moving.

If you really want them, I live about 2 miles from that company's showroom and can check them out for you. I'm curious to find out how they can sell so for so cheap.

 

If you have time, that would be much appreciated!
