Honestly I’m not sure. It is the factory 19in set that came on the car.

The Rohanas were $1900(w-tax) new. While they are not curbed or anything, they do have a couple rock chips. I think I’ve had em for 4-5 months. So not a perfect set of wheels. I’m asking $900 for Rohanas. 19x8.5 fr/9.5 rears. Offset on the front was 30 so I needed a 3mm spacer.

I'm interested in your Rohana RFX11 wheels you have on your C43 AMG.
I'm about to buy a set of Michelin PS4s for my C43 coupe from my favorite tire shop, Discount Tire in Reno, NV.
I can't seem to find the weight of the RFX11 wheels anywhere that's reliable. Do you know the actual weights. (I won't hold you to it).
I don't want to go much heavier than the original wheels.
Thanks

Hey Guys so an update to the new purchase. The RFX 10’s are on back order for the fronts. I have the rears enroute but they are saying end of June early July for the fronts so I can’t sell the RFX11’s till then.
Lub44, hey brother thanks for the interest but C43 heart boost asked first so to be fair he has first dibbs. If he’s s not interested then I’ll save em for you. I don’t know the weight of the wheels sorry. But they are cross forged. If you want me to leave the tires on that’s fine but add another $100 bucks. I have UHP A/S Goodyear Exhilarate.

I was looking to get those bronze rohanas for my CLS in 20's. Do you have any pictures of the front end with the old wheel setup in view (as I am going for similar look)

I figured I'd mix it up from black and go bronze, but you just did the opposite so now I'm worried haha

All of my accessories/accents are basically black so I thought the black wheels would tie it together nicely.

Yes, thanks. I've gone blacked out on my w204 and thought about mixing it up and doing the bronze with the blacked out stuff on my w218. @300konig on Instagram, for reference
