Available as an option in Canada. I ordered them on mine. Looked amazing in the dealer showroom. You might want to hit up some Canadian Benz dealers. See if they have any in stock

I wanted to see what all you guys are doing about your TPMS sensors when you get new wheels. I wasn't planning on pulling the rubber off my old wheels as I would use them as back up but was not sure if anyone know a cheap alternative for the TPMS. I just go quoted like $400 for a set.

Yeah... Im not trying to drop that kind of cash on a set.
Is there any other alternatives? Are the cheaper aftermarket ones. I see a bunch on ebay but not sure if they really work.
VaclavSV said you can just shut off the sensor if you don't run them is that on all models?

Tire Rack sells TPMS sensors for about $250 for the complete set.
Just do a "search by vehicle" for wheels. Then under the wheels you'll see something that says "Import TPMS info"....click on that, and voilá...the TPMS info should be there.

My new Volk TE37 Tokyo Time Attacks
My new wheels: Volk TE37 Tokyo Time Attacks!
Just received my new wheels/tires package a couple days ago. I took photos of one of the rears after unwrapping it. Then I had them mounted and more photos taken. There are always so many questions about wheels and tire sizes, do they fit, etc. That is why I wanted to document with photos so you can see for yourself.
Specs:
Volk Racing TE37 Tokyo Time Attacks
19x8.5 ET45 fronts
19x9.5 ET50 rears
Hubcentric
Michelin Pilot Super Sports, 245 fronts, 275 rears. No rubbing at all.
My car is a stock C63C, no suspension mods.
Conical seat black lugs.
Wheels weigh in at 19.xx lbs. each. These wheels are over 6 lbs. lighter than the stock 18's, twin spoke.
OEM TPMS

Thanks noodleman, here are the specs. No rubbing at all. Rubber is the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport. They're incredible! They're much better than my Conti's
19X8.5 5-112 ET40
235/35R19
19X9.5 5-112 ET45
265/30R19
I worked with Damon at Tire Rack to figure out all the correct information. Great experience working with Tire Rack, Damon's perfect to work with.

Want to go to 235/35 19x8.5 front and 265/30 19x9.5 in the rear...offset is 45 in the rear but with the springs it may rub. I have the stock 18's on there now.
I don't think the front is a problem with the 40 offset.
I know guys on here have this set up without problems but don't think they lowered the car
Im thinking I may have to stay with stock height in rear (255)

Great choice in the wheel design.. Love the concavity in the rear. The big question is do u rub with ur H&R?
