I'm looking for a new set of 18" Monoblocks for my C43 (front and rear). Reps are fine with me as long as the quality is good. Does anyone have a lead?

 

Interesting request but a good one. Are you ditching your 19"?

 

Yup. I have regretted the 19” Mandrus rims since day 1. They look great but the ride leaves much to be desired. Plus I have always loved the Monoblock look.

on top of all that, my wife has curbed the rims and they look like crap.

I am planning on a refresh of the ‘ol C43 which includes head lights, turn signals, monoblocks, windshield, and either a wrap or new paint.

So so far I’ve installed the new windshield and turn signals.

I’m also going to finally do the 55 swap so I’m on the hunt for a motor as well.

 

Anyone know what the offsets for 18" monoblocks are for a flush fitment?

 

Ill be selling my 18 inch monos soon

 

I think you'll have to space them 5-10mm to go flush in the rear. The fronts are pretty close OEM.

 

The ET varies depending on what Mono's you get. I've seen the fronts +30 - +32 and the rears +35 - +37. My current rims are 32 front and 35 rear. The front is almost slightly too much and the rear is not enough so I'm guessing +31 for the fronts and +37- +40 for the rear?

PJ,
Yours look pretty flush. What is the ET and are you using spacers?

 

Mine were +35 rear and +32 up front. Fronts were nice imo, rears could have used a spacer

 

Just pulled the trigger on some reconditioned 18" monoblocks with 31 ET front and 35 ET rear. Gonna throw some PS4S on them

 

 

Thats what i have. With 10mm spacer in the rear they look perfect

 

just ordered the H&R 10mm spacers

 

Any comments concerning the functionality of adding 18" or 19" old-school monoblocks to my 2007 CLS63 AMG currently running 20" low-pro wheels--although I raised the suspension full-tilt to avoid continued curb clashes...

 

You'll definitely want to check brake caliper clearance as the calipers on the CLS63 are much larger than any of the sliding calipers found on the cars that came from the factory with Monoblocks.

 

I am running E55 Mono's that are Front: 18x8 et31 Rear: 18x9 et35 +10mm spacer and they are pretty flush. I had to have my rear fenders shaved down a bit because they were rubbing after I added the 10mm spacer though. Other than that it looks flush and perfect

 

That's not even fair! Only one PIC! Besides that white is nice!
