Completely traumatized spacers for me. I personally would not be using any anytime soon. I know the rear can use some, but honestly, in person, this looks just fine. I can totally live with this.

So just when I was getting these springs installed at the shop, A GLC43 got dropped by a tow truck, hyacinth red, just like your one. What happened? Guy bought some 20mm spacers a week ago from God knows where, mechanic does not recommend installing it, but he does it anyway. Mom was driving the car and out goes the wheel, takes the entire brake caliper and rotor assembly with it. Now everything is hanging on front ride side. Car is a month old.

1. cheap spacers
2. bad install (incorrect bolts, wrong spacer in general, etc.)
I have never had an issue with spacers and hundreds of thousands of others are the same way. You see a couple of horror stories on the internet or IRL, but it's only a fraction and usually the fault of the person fitting them or picking them off the shelf and choosing the wrong application.
But, you do you. They would probably give you a marginal increase of stability in cornering but are otherwise cosmetic only.

It looks great, no doubt, Just think it would push it over the top. Spacer failure/problems is a result of one of two things.

Like 235/265 setup? For this, I think the fronts would need a 5mm spacer for sure. Rears might be okay.

You could easily go up to a 265/35 in the rear and it would help marginally, it would probably be like adding a 2-3mm spacer - but the tire is taller and you are low and you might get rubbing that is currently not present. I'd say you could probably do 10-12mm in the rear on the current tire.
But, all these pros and cons are easy to say, f*** it and just run the nice set-up you already have lol

thanks for these unedited shots. the side profile is really good. great choice and thanks for posting all the info & specs too.
how's the ride quality? please don't say just like stock because I assume it has to be a bit more firm or potentially harsh. Have you been on any poor surfaces or winding backroads yet?

In my opinion this is the coolest set of wheels for this car. I should mention, these have not been made specifically to fit the C43 (as many of the comments have pointed out). I have done extensive research on this wheel as this would be the wheel I would buy if I were to switch my set. Wheels go for $2,200 for the 19" (really shouldn't be doing 20" here in my opinion). Tires are going to run about $700-800. All in, I would expect about $3,100 for a full new set/installation.

Who said i wasnt gonna refinish them black if anything? lmfaoo. Seriously contemplating here, maybe keep the car after the lease or step up to the 63 coupe. Time will tell!
