Monoblock II Wheels.... 19" offset

Does anyone know if AMG makes the monoblock II 19's with 35 offset??? I loved my stock C43 wheels but they were just too small as 17's. I have seen Replica wheels that look exactly the same made by ASA, but they have 44 offset. Thanks !

my cousin has those wheels the ASA, and they fit on our cars fine. just couldn't fit the center caps.

Are you sure they have the 44 offset? and staggered 8.5in front and 9.5 rear

you can always use a 10mm spacer

Are you saying that you could use the 10mm spacer if the 19" were 44 offset. Also wouldn't these rub pretty bad on our cars whether lowered or stock ride height on a C280 Sport?

yes a 10mm spacers makes it 34mm offset

are there any Cons for using spacers? Seems like the only bad thing would be that you will have less threads to screw the lug nut onto.

Yes they're the ASA wheels, They don't make 9.5 only 8.5s. He's selling them so if you want them send me an offer.

then only problem we had was not being abor to put on the center caps. You can solve that with a spacer.

Check out this link ASA ST2 Staggered (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-ASA-ST2-Silver-Wheels-Tires-Mercedes-Benz-S-CL-SE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ66477QQitemZ80658901 77QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW)

So your friends are 8.5" all around, Do they have tires? What is the condition? Pictures? If there were no tires I would consider offering him $600, please get back to me, Im interested !
Thanks

You will need to get longer wheel bolts .... old ones not long enough if you are fitting 10mm spacers...

[jnolte]

yes, those come with longer bolts too!

AMG has 19" monoblocks that were used on the S class several years ago. Staggered 8.5 and 9.5. Kinda rare though. You can find them on ebay once in a while. Probably around $400.00 each new. About 27lbs for the front and 28lbs for the rear I believe.

On mbworld.org there is a member with a blue 208 clk who has these. Spacers are 100% needed. I think I remember reading he used a 10mm and a 12mm???? not sure on the specifics.

I think this would look sick!!! The reason I know what I wrote above is because I wanted to do the same thing. It might possibly be the "very best" look for a 202 IMO.

Reason I haven't acted on this move is that the extra wieght pushes me away.....If speed isn't your #1 concern go with it!!

Found the link on mbworld...It's a 208 so I think the fitment should be pretty much the same. Read on.

Good luck, I really think you should do this!!!

[MeanC43]

Thanks!! Yea... god damn those wheels would look nice on my car... I think they would look especially good too because its White.... Think I'm going to be on the lookout for a set of them.
