I gotta set. They are like the description above. The wheels are curbed, and you will need two front tires. I'm letting them go for $500-600. I'm in Seattle area. Email me if interested.

I've got two stock sets. One set was used for only one month and are as close to mint as you're gonna get. The other set is more used with minor curb rash but well maintained. Give me an e-mail shout if interested.

Not really too interested in another set of wheels. $500-600 is a good deal for AMG's. You can get them refinished for about $200 and you will have a perfect set of wheels.

Is it possible to fit 16-inch rims and still clear the huge disk brakes? For "serious" winter use you should probably go with a modest 215 tread width. With a 215 tread, you will want only 6-inch rim width; thus you'll need to step down in the rim diameter. The 16-inch rims will mean higher profile, which is just fine for winter use. Also, in the 16-inch size you open up a wide variety of snow tires and GREATLY reduce your costs. My sister just picked up 4 sweet looking 16-inch rims + snow tires at TireRack.com for less than $800. (Plus, you can evade state sales tax by ordering online.)

That's a great idea. Unfortunately, you'll need at least a 17 to clear the break rotor.

16" rims

Bong from the Philippines over on the mercedesshop.com forum put 16" on his C36 because of potholed roads there. Not sure how or if this can apply to the 43.
These 16" OEM came off a 2002 MB C200K and are of the modern 6-spoke design. The offset is slightly differenrt so they barely clear the caliper. Now the ride is so much smoother! The fronts are 7.5 J ET 37 while the rears are 8.0 J ET 37. The original AMG monoblocks are 7.5 J ET 35 at the front and 8.0 J ET 30 at the rear
Try this...

What size rotors come on a C36? On the 43 I have 13.2 inch rotors. Need a 17 to clear it. Even my spare is a 17 from the factory.

looks like the 43s are bigger... if this is accurate
The C36 uses 12.6 inch vented disc brakes up front and 10.9 inch units in the rear

I already have winter tires on my stock C32 rims, which I want to dedicate to track use, and then get some 19s for the street.

Ok, i'll email those with wheels! Thanks.
