What Wheels Are These??

My buddy saw these on a C63 last weekend at Bimmerfest and sent me this pic. They look sooooooo sick and I want to find out what they are for my C55. The center cap looks like it's supposed to be an "R" Does anyone know what brand this is? Thanks for the help.

2005 C55 black on black aka DVS C55, 2007 C230 sport silver on black for the boss
So many rim manufacturers.....


They look almost just like C63 507 rims. I would suggest skimming through the W204, W205 picture threads from time to time to see what people are using to get the 507 look. I already found HRE s101 are similar but a 3 piece. I doubt actual 507 rims would be cheap...

will keep a look out.

Almost everybody and their mother makes that wheel style nowadays. Just pick one with the right centerbore and offset.

Good looking wheels, reminds me of a pair of Niches. And Mulac I think those are for a set not a wheel, regardless they look beast on that C63.

$1200 is not expensive for flow forged wheels. Reducing unsprung weight to 20LB levels with a set of wheels at that cost is priceless !

Agreed! I am run 18" Renntech Monolite wheels at 19lb a price. Going to them from a 19" Brabus rep wheel was a game changer. The Monolites were originally about $1500 each. If you shop around long enough you can always find a deal. I bought mine off the guy i bought my car from and got them fro 2 gs

I agree, $1200 isn't expensive if it is the price for the full set, but I really think it's per piece...I mean it doesn't say anything about it being a set of 4 on that website unless I'm just being an idiot

$350 each is more than fair. Those things look amazing!

that is the per wheel cost. You have to pay to play.

yeah I figured...those wheels are way too sick to be that cheap!

On the other hand, these Forgestars aren't too bad and they're a bit under 20 lbs a wheel!
