Looking for 17" wheels

Is anyone upgrading from their standard 17” wheel for an aftermarket option before delivery? I’m looking for a dealer who might have some ‘take off’ 17” wheels in stock for my winter tires.

I have 19’ wheels and don’t want to purchase 19’ snow tires!

I'm not sure what you mean if anybody is upgrading, cuz 19's are standard wheels in US (and Canada I believe). Just pick up some cheap decent looking 17's from tirerack (110-140 bux per wheel). MB wheels will run you a lot more than this.

You can also try ebay if your looking for a used set with the CORRECT offset that will fit. I bought used 18" Infiniti G35 wheels from ebay which fit the current G, and had the snows on them.

I am taking off the 20" wheels that come stock as part of the Appearance Package. PM me if interested, as I will probably have them up on eBay in the next week or two.

I thought 17" wheels were standard on US spec GLK. I guess I am wrong. I did check tire rack and they didn't list available 17" wheels for the GLK. What offset do I look for? Are they the same as the C-class?

Some one posted on another GLK tire thread that you could use the C350 as a base when you are checking out 17 in tires on Tire Rack.

I'm pretty sure tirerack gives you 17's as one of the optional sizes for GLK 4Matic. Start with tires, it'll give you 235/60/17 as an optional size, and then look for wheels for those tires.

it's odd that these wheels have 13mm offset difference even tho they are identical in width, but i guess since they are more narrow you have more room and can have wider range of offsets. I'd go with something closer to +45 (stock offset) as the width of the tires is still the same as the OEM tires.

Any wheel that will fit a W204 C-class will also fit a GLK. Which means you have dozens of choices from TireRack and other sources....just specify a C350 as the "search" vehicle, and take your pick.
