Will you be interested in selling your wheels, not the tires, just the wheels?

E55Kev says the Mercedes-Benz 4Matic 38/62 AWD that the 300C uses probably won't be handle to handle the power of the 6.1L; IIRC, he says none of the AMG editions have AWD.

So unfortunately, probably no AWD SRT-8.

Was driving down the road a coupla weeks ago in the C when along side me pulls up a black AMG sedan, with rubberband tires and spinners. I looked over at the woman driving, she looked at me, and from our 55 MPH cruising speed, she chirpped the tires and took off like we were both standing still and disappeared in the distance.

I thought to myself at the time, "Damn! That's thing's FAST!!!"

If it was a newer E55 I would stay clear.

The 2005 SL65 AMG
Ferocious. Staggeringly powerful 604-hp twin-turbocharged V-12, reinforced 5-speed automatic transmission with AMG SpeedShift programming, race-bred brakes with AMG 8-piston composite calipers, 19" dual spoke AMG wheels, dynamic multicontour seats and four polished exhaust tips.
$179,720.00* AMG-built twin-turbocharged 6.0L SOHC 36-valve V-12 engine

Sweet Jesus. For 140K difference I would keep the 300C and spend the money on cheap women and expensive food.
