C63 Rims for C43

Hey guys, does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy the rims that the c63 has for the c43 (replica). Not trying to drop 6k but really love the look.

eBay has the most options! I don't know the reliability of them but it's worth checking out.

Replika R183 rims are very similar to the optional matte black C63/S rims. Don't know whether they're available in a compatible size/offset, however. I used those rims on a C63 S I had and they were very good, even ran them on the track. I recommend applying ceramic paint coating to help the finish last and make them easier to clean. FYI, it does not make them into a gloss finish but does add some satin-like depth to the matte finish.

Can you change the middle part of them to the benz logo or does that not pop out?? thanks mate.

Also, do you have any pics?

Yes, standard MBZ hub inserts fit (I bought mine at my dealer). Here's a product picture of the rim and one of it on my former C63 S:

Another option could be MAM GT1 wheels, which look similar. Notice, they have an even number of spokes (8) compared to AMG's odd number (7 or 9).

But for some reason I feel safer to drive a cheap brand wheels compared to replicas which don't have any "brand" at all and you're not aware of their origin and quality at all.

MAM GT1 wheels



And here's my C43 with them:

They don't have them in Canada and the ones recommended earlier didn't have the correct sizing for the C43. Anyone else got any other suggestions? Appreciate it!

so has anyone on here attempted this ? I’ve seen a C43 on Instagram with 63 5-spoke wheels before. Can’t remember his username but I know this has been done before. I’m curious as to firmest and what size spacers are needed if any ?

@PortC43 I believe the fitment thread (long, but informative thread) says stock c63 sedan wheels fit the c43 just fine. So, just find aftermarket wheels in that size. Please confirm for your own piece of mind.

Hi came across your post and I'm looking to run the same setup if it fits on my 2021 A35 , question is do you have the part number of the wheel inserts you bought?

Has anyone on here attempted this ? Surely SOMONEONE must have put 63 wheels on a 43 or stock C300 by now
