FS: 17" C32 AMG 5-spoke rims (cheap full-size spares!)
Had to replace one of my stock W203 C32's rims so I just went with four aftermarkets and kept one of the originals as a spare (since my car never came with one). I'm selling the remaining two ($100 + shipping from 60047), plus the one with a repairable crack in it ($30 + shipping), all of which have 245/40/17 Continental ExtremeContact DWS's still mounted on them that have seen 6.5k miles. I can leave the tires on or remove them - your choice. The tires are only about a year old and saw me through the first snowstorm of the winter with ridiculous precision. I have the original lug bolts for them as well. They could use some TLC to get the rust/dirt off, but they work just fine.
All three rims have 126k original miles on them and a bit of curb rash, but it's all almost purely cosmetic. I had my ASE Master-certified mechanic w/ 30+ years of European car experience check them out and he said they're all stable, solid and even still properly balanced. If you want pics, just ask. I'll try to get some tomorrow when it's light out.
Any of them would make for a perfect full-size spare, hence why I'm giving them away so cheap. Not sure about the non-AMG W203s, but as far as I know, all we got was run-flats, a bottle of Fix-a-Flat and a pat on the back for good luck. I've had so many favors done for me on this forum since I bought this addictive little beast that I feel like I need to give back =)
I'm in the NW Chicago burbs and wouldn't mind driving a ways (~75 miles) if necessary, or just shipping the rims. Just PM me or post here and we can work something out. Slightly flexible on the prices too.

All four stock rims on the C32 were the same size. Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read it somewhere in the C32 forums. I always just rotated front->back and back->front without any issues, so...

Pretty sure: C32 rims are 17x7.5 ET37mm Front and 17x8.5 ET30mm Rears.

Ok, I have two good rears (8.5, ET34) and one good front (7.5, ET37). I don't mind keeping the 7.5 as my spare, or mixing/matching. Never had any problems with rotating them with identical tires front->back or otherwise - got lucky with no rubbing/scraping/weird noises, I guess.

Here's the pictures of the castings on the insides. Will get pictures of the curb rash tomorrow.
