MORR VS8.2 - 19x8.5F 19x9R - sub 20lbs - It's here :)
MonoForged™ - Lighter.Wider.Stronger.
MonoForged™ VS8.2.
We introduced the VS8.2 a few weeks ago to the MBworld forum. However we were scratching our heads as to how we would assess the C63AMG due to the much higher rear offsets.
We came up with what we think is the ideal combination of low weight, affordability, quality and looks for you guys. We propose a 19x8.5F and 19x9R. This combination is extremely light weight, weighting at 18.x lbs for the front and barely 19lbs for the rear. A 19x9+37 has the same fender clearance as a 19x10+50, our usual rear wheel fitment but gives you 26mm additional inner clearance!
Why just 9" in the rear?
The C63 wheel well is unfortunately very small in width, you cannot take full advantage of a 10" rear wheel which would ideally fit a 285/295 wheel. As such, you are adding unnecessary un-sprung weight to the car by using a 10" rear wheel. The 9" rear wheel allows to run anywhere from 255 to 275 at the rear, which is deal for a C63AMG !
The MORR VS8.2 19x8.5 has a flat profile whereas the 9" has slight concavity to it which gives the staggered look commonly associated with RWD beasts like the C63.

By using VSLR and VSWO, weight can be reduced by eliminating the need of using excessive load ratings due to the wheel blanks being shared with higher rated platforms. MORR manufactures wheel blanks exclusively for every design it produces, allowing us to engineer the blanks according to the specific load ratings of the vehicle brand & model we are making the wheel for. This in turn increases our production costs, but allows us to make a far superior wheel.
Through VSP, we can minimize excessive back spacing in our wheel blanks. Adding material to the back pad is required when sharing blanks among different platforms, increasing the weight and required excessive machining of the back pad which could compromise the integrity of the final product. Our MonoForged™ blanks are vehicle specific, thus requiring minimum machining of the back pad, resulting in a lighter wheel without compromising its integrity.
Stronger. At MORR, during the design stage, our engineers run FEA simulations to ensure the weight optimization process does not sacrifice wheel strength. To ensure our wheels are ultra-lightweight and equally as strong, our MonoForged™ product line is manufactured using only the highest grade 6061-T6 Aluminum. All of our wheels conform to the strict international and domestic standards of wheel quality and manufacturing, which include VIA/JWL, TuV-Rheinland and SAE J2530 standards for the US DOT. Our MonoForged™ VS8.2 is rated at the new safety standard of 690-kg (1518-lbs) per corner and is also subject to extensive Rotary Bending Fatigue, 13-degree Impact @ 0-degrres, 13-degree impact @ spoke, Radial Load Endurance and Radial Load Fatigue physical testing.

Lots of PMs about these - we can customize the rear offsets to be more conservative in the low 40 range as well.
It won't get much lighter than these in 19s
A Forgestar 19x8.5 weights in at 23 lbs !
