Totally agree, I've always thought BMW rims look exceptional and they fit their vehicles perfectly while many of the Mercedes rims seem out of place or comical on the vehicle. Look at the new flower style wheels for the CLS 400...and also the new wheels for the C450...yuck

I have always hated BMW rims. They all have a sunken concave profile that's what I think they look awful. Btw this is Mercedes C63 forum why post this tread here?

I believe this is just your taste preference. The black ones on the M5 look better.
The new stock 5 star wheels on the C63s look much better in person then on a pic or video imo. I ordered the black wheels for MY2016 and most people I've spoken with who have seen them in person say they look stunning

I agree with OP - BMW does a nice job with the wheels on the M's, along with their sport wheels.
The AMG wheels look a lot better then some of the stock, plain jane MB wheels.
