Curious to read your review after you have them installed! I'm debating on getting these for my C43 sedan

The wheels were picked up used from a guy in Canada for about $1000.
But I gotta get spacers for the front and TPM's for them. Plus gonna get some Michelin PS4's.
So I figure, for everything w/ the springs, it's going to be about $2500. Not too bad if you ask me

Are you asking about the wheels or springs? Haven't picked up the springs yet but I will be installing them myself.

The Shelby has the edge on speed and the C43 on driving comfort. Two totally different experiences. When driving the Shelby, it's like wrestling a bull. So engaging. All about you and the car. The Benz on the other hand is is a blast also bit much easier to keep in line. My wife is a little hesitant with the Shelby but no so much with the Benz.

I believe they are LED's (in addition to to the daytime running lights and headlamps). Someone correct me if I'm wrong. The headlamps are 100% LED's as per the MBUSA website, but the site doesn't specifically mention what the high-beams are (at least from what I can find, maybe I'm just not looking in the right spot). I would assume they are LED's as they are EXTREMELY bright at night, to the point that they are borderline blinding.
The only C-class' that get halogens (as far as I know) are the base model C300 and C43 sedans (the base coupes get the regular LED's), although I've read that in some countries the base models get the LED's (I'm in the US, and our standard C300 and C43 sedans comes with halogens, you have to pay extra to get the regular LED's and even more to get the active LED's). I honestly loathe the way the halogens look, the LED's add soooo much to the look of the front end. It always surprises me how many C300's I see out here that stuck with the regular halogens

Lucky wife!! And is that a GT350 or GT350R? Is the sound as amazing in person as it is in videos? I've been debating trying to track down a GT350R to beat on at the track and also so I can have another manual (been without a manual for 2 months now and I'm having withdrawals haha 
), just looks like SUCH a fun car and it can't be beat for the price.
The new ZL1 looks awesome as far as pony cars, but the GT350R with that screaming NA 5.2L V8 with an 8250 RPM redline, magnetic dampers, relatively comfortable interior (if you add the 3K electronics package), carbon fiber wheels, LSD etc. etc. just seems more engaging to me, but I haven't driven either so what do I know. I also think it looks better but that's just me haha

its a gt350 and the sound it makes it like no other. The Rs are awesome but hard to find. The 17 gt350s have everything the Rs do except the CF wheels, cup tires, rear seat delete and the red badging. Same drive train and coolers. The new ZL1s a little faster but hard to beat NA engines for sound and fun.

IMO, the best looking aftermarket wheels I've seen on a C43. I've seen others, nothing wrong with them but these I like the most. Almost as if they were made for this car. I would go for a darker finish though like gunmetal or graphite.
