Tirerack & BBS RS-GT ????
Tirerack (Luke),
I went to the Tirerack site to see the RS-GT on my 1999 C43 but that wheel wasn't listed. On the one BBS site I see that the RS-GT comes in the size & offset I would like but can find them on the Tirerack site. My question is, can Tirerack get me the RS-GT in the following sizes & how much?
RS-GT 910 18x8 et35 silver finish (DSK-P)
RS-GT 914 18x9.5 et32 silver finish (DSK-P)
I know these sizes and offsets will work on my car, but I'm not sure about brake clearance with these wheels. The style makes me think they will be fine, but that's just a guess. I also don't know if the bolt holes are drilled for 12mm or 14mm.
Any help would be great.

depends on the weather
while they are produced in the sizes oyu mentioned the RS-GT does not have a great deal of brake clearance and BBS NA has never had that exact model wheel in the country so, we haven't been able to check the wheel for brake clearance........ I think that it would have enough for your C43 but, I'm not 100% positive. I know that to clear the brakes on a CLK55 the only RS-GT wheel that works is the 19" ... I'll look into it a little further and keep you posted

Luke,
If a set of Silver RG-R would be easier to get, those would interest me also.
RG-R 705 18x8 et35 Silver (DSK)
RG-R 706 18x9 et30 Silver (DSK)
