20 inch wheel upgrade for C43 - Post pics
My car came with the upgraded 19 inch AMG wheels with black accents. I did not special order my car or else I would've chosen the stock 18 inch as I know I would go for aftermarkets. Right so please post some pics if you already installed 20 inch or bigger wheels on your C43/C450 sedan along with the fitment, offsets etc. I like the concave wheels and looking at these http://www.roadstreetrace.com/r801-w-19944.htm. Any suggestions on these would be appreciated. Once I find the perfect wheel, I am planning to sell the 19 inch AMGs with Pirelli Pzero runflats on them (1700 miles on them so far). Not sure how much to expect for these

Yeah, I've seen a bunch of other threads where people initially discussed problems with aftermarket wheels on the C43/C450 because of offsets etc. I think eventually they were able to figure out the right measurements and installed some beautiful wheels. I am hoping some of them who did 20 inch or bigger wheels would be kind enough to drop some pics and suggestions in here.

Yes, a lot of test fitting back then. The fronts were the initial problem. Finally, i think +30-32, was where everyone were for the fronts. The rear was more forgiving.

Those wheels look beautiful!. However, I am looking to go with the satin black or graphite finish as my car is white. Hence the wheels I chose in the link. I am just curious about the extent of concaving (pardon my language as I am not sure what else to call a wheel that kind of sinks into the center) on the rear wheels. I see that yours are a little concaved. Is that the max we can do on the 20 inch wheels? I saw the stock 20 inch wheels on the GLC43 at the dealer and the rear concave wheels look just amazing. I am trying to achieve something close to that on my sedan.

Yes, the tires are continental, but not runflats. They're the DWS 06.

Thanks! I will keep that in mind. Hopefully more people will post pics of their wheels.

I am not sure about that. From my research the wheels that fit the c300 and c63 may not fit the c43. Do you know specific 20 inch BBS wheels that were fitted successfully on a c43 sedan? Possibly some pics?

You could probably get fitment info from WSI here: http://www.wheelspecialists.com/
Or maybe from Vossen. Happy hunting!

On the BBS wheels, for as long as you can get the fronts within 30-32 offset, whether you end up using spacers, fir as long as they're hub centric and balanced, you'll be fine. What's important is it clears the control arm because it's different from the c300 and the fenders on the c63's are wider. The rears as I've mentioned are more forgiving. From test fitting a few months ago, looks like anywhere from 45-55 offset would be ok.

Compared to the stock 18's on runflats, my ride quality is actually better now on 20's even on lowered h&r springs. You'll be surprised how much better the ride becomes just by switching to conventional tires. For emergencies i have a tire plug kit, air compressor and a scissor jack. All of which fit in the under compartment in the trunk.

Also, I am keeping the suspension stock for now. Would that be a problem with the 20 inch wheels?

I can't help you with the fitment stuff, nor is this my vehicle, but it is the set up as I plan to have my identical, but lowered on stock 18s, C450.

Those are Vossen CV3-R wheels, specs as follows:

Machine Custom Spacer 10MM/Attach
2 x 20x10 5-112 + 50 CV3-R Graphite Wheels

He (@jonboles) actually has them up for sale which I am trying to purchase from him but might not be feasible since I live in Canada and the shipping might be crazy expensive.
If you go to the Mercedes-Benz Sedans > C-Class (W205) forum under the the thread "Post your C450 with Aftermarket Wheels" you will see some other options that might work. These Vossens are on page 16, post #388.
Apologies, I can't post links just yet.

I agree. I absolutely love the mods he did to his car. Gorgeous. Those C63 exhaust tips are amazing. Hopefully, I can find some time and money to get those on my car.

LOL. Was a lot of trial and error but we all now have the keys to the castle, so to speak. I love when a plan goes into action. Great to see everyone's amazing wheel modifications..

I really appreciate the kind words!!! I felt the C63 exhaust tips were a must. When you are ready for yours, let me know. If you like, I can direct you to my guy at Mercedes. He will set you up with everything you need. Looking forward to seeing your mods as well!!!

Thanks. They are OEM. The OEM tips, valence, and diffuser ran me $950.00. I know a bit much however, I wanted all OEM parts since my vehicle is on a lease.
The install ran $200.00 and took about 2 hours. The bumper had to be removed.
