I wanted to share these with you guys on a separate thread as these one of the few aftermarket rims that doesn’t need any spacers. These were only available in Graphite Black Color, but I refinished then in silver with machined face, with clear coat on top. Looks amazing! Like unbelievably good. Getting the HandR springs tomorrow.

Reason: Wrong information
Not trying to be rude but there is no such thing as an aftermarket wheel made specifically for the c43. Any good wheel manufacturer can make a wheel and any width or offset you need to fit your vehicle, however you'd like it to fit. These may be ideal for our fitment but as I said, any manufacturer can do the same. Good wheels are built to spec. That being said they do look great!!
offset looks a bit weak and tire looks a bit stretched and this will only be accentuated when lowered because of the natural camber.
I do like the look of the wheels but don't believe these are the "perfect spec" and are certainly not the only wheels you can run without spacers. Please! Rear will need ~10mm spacers to look nice and full after lowering, more than likely (that's mainly do to your tire choice).
Guessing these are
19x8.5 et35 on 225/40
19x9.5 et46 on 255/35
Ideally, you want to run as much tire upfront as possible to reduce understeer. And these are quite expensive for what they are, but I think they give them out for pretty good deals.

Not to mention Avant Garde, Vossen and TSW all have off the shelf fitments that will fit just as good, if not better than this with no spacers.

My apologies in not putting it correctly. What I meant was, that Vorsteiner told me that they made a size of this rims which specifically works for C43 and C300. I dunno may be they fed me crap, but honestly, I am falling in love with these rims. They came in graphite black color originally. I got them refinished they way it looks now.

Dunno, I tried not to make a getting these rims into rocket science. Vorsteiner told me they fit the car, and I ordered it. To me it looks perfect. The gap and the offset sits just right. They are not too tucked in, not too flush either. But that is just me. These rims are exactly what I wanted out of an aftermarket setup. The tires are stretched a bit, but it makes it look even better to me. Opinions might vary, I am okay with that. With the number of people complimenting the car in just one day, I am not complaining even a little bit.
Got the springs installed today. Will post some photos soon. Even after the drop, I do not think they are in any need of spacers. They look just fine.

They fed you crap, not that it matters as long as you're happy.
But not even knowing the spec and claiming these are the only wheels that fit is fairly ignorant.

I think it looks awesome but how do you plan on keeping those silver rims clean? Your going to have to clean them on the daily. To me nothing looks worse than brake dust stained silver rims- I love the look of silver rims but would never do it on my car for that reason.
wheels look good. car & paint look great. wish you would post some pics that aren't edited / shopped so heavily so we can more easily view the fitment.
don't mind those on here giving you a hard time. with so few posting wheel & tire fitment experience & photos, i don't get the attitude / hostility on this forum. nice work, just post some regular pics.
need to find some wheels for my coupe before spring 2018
Yes and there is no front or rear Camber to adjust tire contact angles to resolve costly, premature inner edge Tire wear!
Only Toe (directional) adjustment OEM. We saw the need to therefore design and reinstate from the early 90’s – Full precise (single wrench) front and rear adjustment.
Also importantly we designed so adjusts lower, not upper arms therefore retaining clearance top of tire to outer fenders.
While track days – can adjust front for more negative Camber (and track width) to reduce understeer/lower lap times.
Front bushes are also Mono ball/2 axis for noticeably improved brake and steering response.
Rear can fine tune for maximum traction.
Another popular kit manufactured is replacement performance rear bushings (12) for the 6 multi-link arms. Less twitch/flex tauter response – especially when applying power to lane change / overtake.

100 percent. I will post the pictures tonight.
Also the rims specs are below:
35ET 8.5J- 19"
46ET 9.5J- 19"

Nice job though it looks fantastic in my opinion.
I chose silver because of the contrast it gives with my car color. I really love it! About it becoming dirty, I plan to use ironx and pressure wash it. Works like a charm. Have you given that a try?
Wheels look nice! Didn't know they started to make 35 offsets for 19 x 8.5 with the 5 x 112 pattern for the front. When I got my VFF103s 19 x 8.5 ET45, I added 11mm spacers to my fronts.
