2012 C63 AMG Coupe
BBS CH-R in Titanium
I am looking to get a new set of wheels for my 2012 C63 Coupe. I really like the BBS CH-R in black, but I couldn't find a set that would fit. Tire Rack does offer the BBS CH-R in Titanium but I'm not sure how that would look. (my car is black)
What do you guys think?
Thanks!

here's about as close of a comparison as you'll get
https://mbworld.org/forums/mercedes-...bs-wheels.html
and based on that thread you might also be able to get a good price on a used set. and i'm able to vouch for the seller who handed me 19" 16 spokers in perfect shape

Those wheels have a pretty aggressive offset on the rear that might limit your tire selection or lowering the car a bit. They project >15mm more toward the fender lip. The wheel itself may project out past the fender lip. Depends on the look you want and what tire selection you are interested in and if you want to lower the car or not.
EClass wheels are likely too aggressive for a C63 on the rear and maybe on the front as well.

The CH-R's look good but they are just so freakin heavy. They're like 27 lbs. each. I guess that considering stock is around 26 lbs., it's not a big deal. It's just that if you are going for after market wheels, you can get great looking wheels AND significantly reduce unsprung weight at the same time.

Thanks for all of the responses. I wish there was a larger wheel selection to choose from. Tire Rack only list 11 compatible wheels for the C63 Coupe (as apposed to 73 wheels for the M3, my old car).
Maybe I should just wait until there is more of a selection.
