Yes, they will...local bud has a set on his. I want to say they are from a W210 E55 but I'm not entirely sure of that.
Not sure what his offsets are tho...that will be the critical issue for you if you are going wider than stock. Is your car lowered at all?

My car is completely stock. I'm debating the 18's because I don't want it lowered due to loss of ride quality and am afraid the 18's without lowering will give it that 4x4 look. Usually you would get the 4x4 look if you go from let's say 15" or 16" with high profile tires to an 17-18" with low profile tires. In the case of the c43 the car already has 17" with low pro tires so maybe going 18 will look better. Would you agree with my assesmnen? Thanks

You'll be OK... C43s sit a bit lower than normal C-class cars to begin with.
I agree...17" to 18" prolly won't give you the 4x4 look that is common with bigger rims w/o lowering. The ride quality might suffer some with the larger rims but the C43 has a more 'sport'-like suspension set-up...so with 18's it'll just be that much more 'sporty'.

Thanks, now the only thing left to do is figure out exactly which wheels/offset are the correct ones. Do you know if your bud's were staggered? If so than most likely they're off of a 211. Thanks.

You may be right on the W211 rims...yes, his are staggered.
Prolly the best place to ask about offsets would be over at the C36/43 forum at www.mbworld.org In fact my friend went there to get their take on upgrading to 18" rims.
