My new Niche Essen wheels. Front = 19x 8.5 ET 35 Rear 19x10 ET 55.
Rears tires are 275's right now and it can definately clear 285's. I think even 295's will clear at full stuff with no rub. Going to try 295's when these wear out. Also have matching 18x9.5's coming to put my M/T ET streets on so I will not have mismatched wheels at the track. I'll get better pics eventually, just backed the car out and snapped these as soon as I bolted them on.

From factory rear being 9" & ET54, that means rim will be 14mm FURTHER IN, and 12mm FURTHER OUT.
The further out part is fine, but the other specs?
Love the look of these.
thanks

This is my friends 2010 C63.
We just painted the brakes red for her.
These rims are
19x8.5 ET40- FRONT [235/35/19]
19x9.5 ET40- REAR [245/35/19]
Rears stick out 20mm further than factory.
This was NOT her choice of rims or setup, its how she bought the car.
When these tyres wear out, she will be changing it all to something better.
Anyone wanting an easy offset calculator use:

Wow, 245's stretched on to 9.5" wheels, not a look I'd want either. I think 285's look about right on a 9.5 personally.
Awesome wheel calculator BTW!

Very nice concave on those black wheels AMG893.
They actually don't look bad at all - I think the stretch looks great but I'd run 225/35/19 in the front to match the rears

Hi folks new to these forums and new to the awesome C63 AMG world. Is there a good resource to learn about alterations to ride height, wheel and tire size? I'm now familiar with the basics of tire/wheel specs but still don't understand how one can figure out what might work for them (for a commuter car, etc.). Thx

^^ I agree with Anthony, the Vorsteiner looks great! But I'm not feeling the pzero in white, must be a Pirelli thing from the past they brought back.

Thanks guys -- its funny, I originally wanted Michelin PSS but they were out of stock so I told the rep just get me P-Zero's, having no idea they were white walls. When I first saw the car I had a WTF moment -- then they started to grow on me. My 10 yo nephew saw the car yesterday and said, "Hot Rods have white walls, I guess that means your car is a hot rod?" I think he is right.

Man I would take a black sharpie to the zero's.
Wheels are bangin tho.
The more and more pics I see of C63's and aftermarket wheels, I feel they just need 20's to fill the gap properly. And a good drop.

If the drop is right and tire sizes aren't crazy conservative 19's look good...some guys are just running tires that are too small ya know.

Former Vendor of MBWorld
WE ARE PROUD TO INTRODUCE THE VF/SERIES MANUFACTURED WITH ADVANCED FLOW FORMING TECHNOLOGY, A UNIQUE APPROACH TO WHEEL MANUFACTURING.
Visit the VFS-2 site: www.vfs2.com
Enjoy the all new VFS-2 Intro.
Available sizes:
20x8.5 | 20x9 | 20x9.5 | 20x10 | 20x10.5 | 20x12
22x9 | 22x10.5 | 22x12
The flow forming process maintains the integrity of the design while improving grain-structure of the aluminum, creating a stronger, lighter, and thinner forged-like rim barrel. Flow forming is the answer to the market’s demand for lightweight wheels that are more durable and enhance overall vehicle driving performance.
Vossen VF / Series
MANUFACTURING:
The collective desire of automobile enthusiasts is a wheel that is not only aesthetically captivating, but built for form and function. The process of creating the best flow formed wheel involves a mix of complex engineering and high-grade technology. A balanced combination of heat and pressure upon the rim barrel alters the mechanical properties of the wheel to get the desired effect: increased strength and weight reduction of up to 15 percent.
AESTHETICS:
For all its advanced manufacturing features, the VFS-2 wheel is also beautifully crafted. Its design is inspired by the 15 spoke forged wheel, which debuted at SEMA 2012 on our flag-ship Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series. The VFS-2 is equally as elegant and will be available in three different
finishes: silver-polished, and for the first time, gloss-graphite and satin-bronze.
TECHNICAL:
Our new VF Series made with flow forming technology allows us to offer a variety of new widths. Our VFS-2 will be introduced in a 20” and 22” diameter with a width range of 8.5” all the way to 12”. We will be offering three concave design profiles in 20” – flat, mid and deep. These new width options will provide more fitment flexibility and versatility, along with a stronger and lighter wheel.
NOW AVAILABLE:
Inventory is limited. Contact your local authorized Vossen
dealer to order your set.
