What do people think.. I was hoping for the O.Z. Superturismo LM, but it appears tirerack has removed them as fitting the C63.. I do have a limited budget.. and the HRE's and BBS are out... I poked around some other websites that list a crap ton of wheels that might fit.. correct offsets, but they are just hideous.. I do not want flashy wheels, obviously I want to drop some weight, but I either want the MB multi spoke (which are ridiculously priced), or go minimalist so that the brakes are more visible (this wheel qualifies.. although I am not sure on long term quality as I drive in DC, and I drive like I stole it.. curious how long they would last).

Forgestar wheels.

CF5 fairly light, easy to clean and will show the brakes nicely.

Merc63

Forgestar cf10 or tsw interlagos both in 19s are good.

I justed ordered the interlagos myself.

jvanbrecht

I just went and looked at the prices for the Forgestars, I cannot seem to get a good idea on pricing.. some sites have them listed at $1k+ each, some around $350 each.. none of the sites I have ever even heard off (used google shopping search)

Merc63, where did you order the TSW's from.

I'm hoping to stick with tirerack, or someone similar so I can just order the wheels/tires as a package, saving me a few dollars on mounting and balancing.

Fung63

forgestar is not 1k each

You are looking at less than 2k all said and done.

jvanbrecht

I have been poking around the sites I found listing them, the 1k+ price tag was for a full set (although I had to add to a cart to figure that out). Seems a site called element wheels has them, never heard of the company, but has a reasonably (although the color scheme is horrible) functional site. However the pricing on the tires and TPMS are significantly higher then tirerack (around $50 more for TPMS, and $250 more for set of 4 tires)..

Who here (sponsers??) sells them. I do like the CF5's... The Interlagos are decent as well.. decisions decisions... I like it better when I only had 1 idea of what I wanted to begin with :P

I placed my forgestar order with Championi Shop... sponsor here. Look for Matt, they have done tons of forgestar wheels for our members here. email is here info@campionishop.com, public profile is here https://mbworld.org/forums/members/2...pionishop.html . Tell him the guy who placed an order for a set of CF10s textured bronze sent you.

good luck

I got the tsw's from a local shop. He matched the price on tirerack (for rubber). There isnt any good wheels on TR I checked too.


There are some retailers on here that can hook u up or call tsw direct and they will put u in touch with a local dealer.

Forgestar makes nice stuff too... But u usuallly have to wait 6-8 weeks

If u want to buy from tirerack.. What about the Breyton wheels? I have seen them on a C63 coupe locally.. Beautiful!!

jvanbrecht

That is the wheel in the image I initially posted.

Roswell

Oups, my bad.. Hard to see on the pic. I like the Breyton "mesh style" better.

Serge944

The Breytons are the best looking wheels I have seen by far. My buddy had them on his C63 4 door and it really made the car. They are cheap too - about 1k for a whole set.

Roswell

^^ those r the ones I saw on the coupe.. They were black spoke with brushed inner surround.. They were amazing!!

jvanbrecht

I'm partial to the 5 spoke, or the multispoke (individual) styles over the pair parralel spokes on the ones above.. but I did look at them

If you want a good deal on TSW RF Interlagos then go to discount tire.com

jvanbrecht

I just realized that I butchered the word "opinions"

Roswell

Then I would get the one you pictured in the first post. 5 spokes over the TSW multispoke all day... w/o saying Breyton > TSW.. lol !

jvanbrecht

.. What size tires are you running, and any rubbing?

LAMB09

I got quoted like 2500, can't remember the exact quote; including CA tax for the TSW Interlagos with PSS tires mounted balanced with Mercedes center caps from http://www.getyourwheels.com/

They are local to me, I just can't decide between those or a set of 19'' SLS reps from PowerWheel Pros.

Sam

Merc63

Go with the Interlagos. The SLS reps are probably heavy as ****.

LAMB09

Good point about weight, are the interlagos light? Next decision is black or silver interlagos, I am not sure which is better on a black car.

Edit:

Found this on the tsw site, weight 19x8.5 21.15lbs 19x9.5 21.55lbs doesn't seem to bad. now the decision of flat black or silver mirror cut face. I am leaning toward silver but not sure.

AMGC60-3

I have the black TSW RF Interlagos on another vehicle and I bought them from discounttire.com, they are light weight and inexpensive (great bang for the buck) and if they some how get damaged it wont break your heart because they dont cost an arm and a leg.

jvanbrecht

I'm now deciding between the Interlagos, CF5 and CF10s (the breytons are really heavy.. while cheap, they are heavier then the stock ones but a few pounds a piece, that is alot of additional unsprung weight)

jvanbrecht

What tires are you running, I tend to use the Conti DW's in 275 on the rear, 245 front, I have not, nor do I plan on lowering the car (I have enough problems with DC roads.. if I could I would fit a 10" lift kit on my car for days I have to head into the city).

CampioniShop

Definitely send us a PM, an email or give us a call to discuss your wheel options. In the price range that you are looking for and in 19" there are limited options, and the Forgestars are definitely at the top of the list!

We did dozens of sets for MBworld members and will gladly assist you in getting the proper set for you.
