Wheel design feeler

I have been discussing a custom set of wheels for the C63 with the ownership at Alloy Technic and wanted to see if there might be some interest from other forum members in a set of wheels that are similar to the 19 spoke Euro design from AMG, but that would weigh less than 20 lbs each. I'm thinking of something in the 19"x8.5" front and 19"x9.5" rear or 19"x9" front and 19"x10" rear. We could also try to get a 9" front and 9.5" rear setup made to allow for running matching tire sizes front and rear to reduce understeer. In order to make this a workable, I would need to line up 20 people interested in purchasing. I'm not selling these and am only looking to get a set of wheels made in a C63 fitment that are a very desirable design and extremely light weight. Please let me know hat you guys think.

That's a great idea but I would suggest you go with a design similar to the ADVAN F15

I don't know for sure about price yet, but would expect it to be very competitive with other high quality forged wheels. (probably around $4K for the set) If we can get enough interest and have them produced in a single run, I'm sure we could save some $.
