1Gunner can you confirm the Niche Misano ended up working for you? I had hoped to use the winter wheel set up from the CLA45 on the C43 but unfortunately the 18 x 8 45mm offset wasn't close even if I'd tried spacers. Sorry if I missed a different thread but hadn't seen any additional posts beyond this one.

The Niche wheels and tires are now sitting in my garage waiting.... patiently.

They look great, thanks for posting the picture. I take it you have a very high level of confidence they fit
The car is here sitting in the garage and I have winter tires, but no wheels so it isn't going anywhere. My wife is driving the GLK until the winters are ready.

I expect they will fit without issue, however I have a high level of confidence my tire guy will honour his word, "if they do not fit he will make it right".

I ordered the CLA winter wheels online from 1010tires and they were actually pretty good. The first 2 sets I wanted that should have fit by spec didn't so we kept going down the list until they confirmed a set that would work. I was hoping you had already been able to fit them to the car so I wouldn't have to go through that again. The spec does look good though so I may go ahead and take the plunge. Ideal would be 8" with 23mm offset, but hard to find so this as close as I've seen to a set that will work, with a wheel I like.

Pricing was favourable also, wheels, Michelin snows, mounted, balanced and tax included for $1750. CDN.

That is a really good price, will keep that in mind next time!
Mine were around 2100nd, and they will go from my C400 to the C43 when it gets here. I have the Nokians which were more too, but the xIce if they were in stock I would have got them

MBWorld Fanatic!
X-Ice XI3! Awesome!!! That's what I have, except in a different size. Now you can get through anything, limited only by the car's height clearance!

That is a great price. I've ordered the same wheels but went with Hankook i cept evo 2 tires and it ran me over $2,000. The same Michelin would have been about $100 more.

I guess that's one advantage of small town pricing... MUCH lower overhead!
I've also ordered a set of MB center caps:
