your snowwhite c43 looks so much nicer and more beautiful than the other AMG next to your car.
C43 has classic lines not to be forgotten.

you'd be a fool trading it in for a w211 AMG

Great paint, but i think white or silver will be better in these nice closed Carlsson Rims(which i always loved)..

Prefer if you can put 10mm spacers in rears, it will be great back view..

So you liked it better with the Carlssons white? I ran that for a while and got bored with it. Plus it was a major pain to keep clean. I never felt comfortable running spacers, are they safe? Do you need extended bolts with 10mm spacers, anybody running them with ET35 rear wheels? I don't want the wheels sticking out past the fender.

Thanks brother! I love the original polish as well, but they'd need a refinish to look perfect.

My 1/6 Carlsson's are ET35 in the rear, 18x9 and fit perfectly. No rubbing inside or out. As I recall, 265/35/18 on the tires.

Looks like money, those 1/6s are clean. That makes sense though with the fitment, mine are 8.5 rears. To match yours, I'd need to run roughly a 12mm spacer. Are they safe?

I run 15mm spacers on et 35, yes get extended lugs.
The pic with the two cars, mine is on the right, and that was with 12mm spacers, I have since done up to 15mm

Thanks. No plan on any mods yet. I recently put eibach prokit on the car on the right and put the 18s on it. That is about it. I plan on putting some lowering springs on the other one but not sure if i will be getting eibach prokit as well. I can go with the euro springs or maybe try vogtland... i use the stock pads on the other car too...
