Our wheels should be fine. SLK guys on the the Benz forum stated that you need at least 17" wheels. I just checked and the C32 came stock with 17" wheels so this should fit no problem. I also have been researching the calipers and you can get them with either "Mercedes Benz" of "AMG" on them. I just depends which vehicle they came on. for example the CLK500 uses the same caliper but the car was not an AMG. The prices are very reasonable compared to a big brake kit from Brembo and others. you can find used calipers for $200-$300 double that for brand new. There are lots of choices for the rotors. I would use ceramic pads and Goodridge braided stainless lines.
