1999 MB C43 AMG
After a 1 year plus of research, one bad set of wheels, and one misplaced wheel, I finally got around purchasing the proper set of wheels for the W202 AMG. The last wheel finally arrived yesterday and I got everything mounted today. So here it is, the C43 on a set of 18' Monos from an W210 E55. I could not be happier with the wheels. They are the perfect match for the car.
If i really had to be picky I'd say I could get the lips polished but that would be done at a later stage I guess... For your viewing pleasure

The 210 e55 wheels did have polished lips, are yours refinished and painted over? That would make a big difference. My wheels have the polished lips and staggered, while MB did offer my same wheels without the polished lip... BIG DIFFERENCE
Does your car not have the carbon fiber looking door pillar trims?

Didn't know that the W210 AMG had polished lip. Personally, most E55 I've seen did not have the polished lip. 
I did have the CF looking door pillar trims but they all faded so I wrapped everything with 3M Di-Noc CF matte wrap. I have a few pics in the sticky mod thread if you want to see close-ups.

is it black beauty or black death?
stance looks nice, these 18" rims does a lot for C43.
they look WAY better on w202 than on w210 E55 AMG
can't remember what thickness you had for spring pads?
is it 5/4 set up?

Haha black beauty as long as nothing breaks buddy. Let's hope it stays that way for a while
If I remember correctly, I'm running the 5.4 set up as pads go.

Great looking car. The rears seems higher than the front though... Might be due to your parking spot ...
What wheels are those? They def are not stock, the do look the part though !!
