2017 C43 Cabriolet Wheel Options
I've read every thread on here about wheels and it's been very helpful, but I'm unfortunately still a little lost.
I have a 2017 C43 Cab. with 18 inch wheels. I'm switching to PS A/S 3+'s soon (as in Monday) and was thinking about changing the wheels too.
I don't want to lower the car, get wider tires, use spacers, or really anything but swap out the stock AMG 5 spoke wheels for something new and stronger (and maybe lighter?).
I looked at BBS and Enkei, but with both of them I'd be replacing 18x7.5 and 18x8.5's with 18x8's all around, and the 30mm offset seems a little wonky to me too.
What are my best options in terms of brand, fitment, and strength?
Thanks for the help!

C 43
I know all the cool kids do it,but I found success with a 330i BMW going -1 and to a 225/50 sidewall. My roads suck and I was tired of spending time at my (excellent) wheelsmith. I just left him yesterday for the Benz the first time, had to have 3 of the 4 tissue paper AMG wheels straightened (13k miles). When the runflats go, I'm looking to go square with the toughest aftermarket wheel I can find, NO SPACER nonsense, and some sidewall, on 18's.
