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 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?

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.
