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!

weight? how much do you think AMG wheels weigh?
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.
