Yes they will work on our C43’s..I know

Man I would be all over these if I hadn't just buy a new set. How did you get the SL rims to work with the C spindles? Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that the SL used 14mm bolts and the C used 12mm? I am only asking as I bought a set of SL wheels and am trying to see how I will make them fit.

Thanks and good luck. Love those wheels!!!!!!!!!!!

Vicious_c43

I've had these SL rims for a while now I got em on eBay..I emailed the seller if they would fit on my car and replied yes. I'm not too familiar with the SL but I'm guessing you need to buy different size lug bolts to fit. Before I had the SL rims I already had aftermarket non amg rims.

sick430

You used the same lug bolts?

thanks

Vicious_c43

Yes,same lugs bolts. When I got the car it came with an 18" aftermarket non AMG rims, I've never owned the 17" monoblock.

I'm getting a set of tires installed next week, I'll check the lug bolts then.

those should stay on sl's.

JohnnyRock

Agreed, I think those would look like *** on a w202....

Vicious_c43

My lug bolts are m12x1.5 25.4mm shank ball seat style. From searching about the SL rims it uses a m14x1.5 26.7mm shank R13 ball seat...I don't have a caliper to measure the radius on mine but I think they are wrong its either R12 or R14, which means it probably does not sit correct in the pocket plus my shank is a bit off. Otis Inc LA sells the RAD product #20-4146-B (size 12mmx1.5, 40mm shank, R13) I might end up buying this and cutting the shank to the correct size.

Its preference homie…Since you’re a Cigar aficionado you probably prefer Cigars from Dominican Republic as for me I prefer Cigars from Honduras because that is what my palate likes and enjoys.

JohnnyRock

Absolutely correct about preference! Just not my style. But then again, I'm still OEM right now....(will be changing soon!).

As for smokes, I prefer'em all! Actually, my taste runs more to the Nicaraguan blends now, as it seems the best blenders are utilizing those tobaccos.

But after viewing your sig, your car pulls off those wheels much better than expected. Props!

Vicious_c43

Thanks! Absolutely correct great choice on the Nicaraguan blends, I usually treat myself puffin on Padron on any special occasions.

Originally I was in the market for the 18” monoblocks…But I’ve always like the turbines looks, since our C43 have huge caliper and rotors it would peek more on these wheels vs the OEM.

does it take long time to clean these babies?

Vicious_c43

No. I spray an all wheel cleaner to break down the dirt and brake dust then I use a triangular foam brush to get into the groves. Takes about 3 min per wheel. I get bad brake dust specially on the front, might have to change the brake pads to a different brand, I believe my indie shop used OEM pads.

sick430

That is perfect!!!!!!! Great find, I will definitely be purchasing a box of those lugz soon. Thanks again.

Vicious_c43

No prob! I'm getting my bolts delivered tomorrow.

sick430

Hey, did you get the bolts? which did you order? any thoughts?
thanks

Vicious_c43

I end up getting these from Otis Inc LA...No need to cut them fits perfect with the correct radius and shank length

I used this vid on how to measure the correct shank length needed for the sl wheel to fit my w202
