Guys I'm on the fence help with wheel selection

Here's the options for my C63 sedan in silver

20's cast


19's ADV.1s forged step lip 19x9 &19x10


Or TSW, Forgestar

Olszowa has been a super huge in helping me big time but I can't seem to make up my mind

Those cast 20's also look sick.
Tough choice...

Too many forgestars out there - I would pass on those.

just as an opinion, i honestly don't like either. i'd like to see the top one with the bolts around the edge to take up some of the empty space. the bottom wheels with the bolts look too busy. but if i have to pick, i'd go with the first ones.

19's ADV w/o a doubt .. Or any forged wheels over cast wheels.

It all depends on ur budget as u can prolly get 2 sets of the 20's cast for 1 set of ADV.

Exactly my words.
Forged ADV.1 would be my first choice. Especially that the price is right.

Your budget for wheel choices are all over the place.
ADV1s would not be my first choice out of all those suggested.

I don't know what to get.

The ADV's are at a decent price ( they are not new)



I'm so undecided

Get those 20s....they look perfect on the coupe

Some gunmetal ones would look killer on a silver coupe

Don't waste your money on 19" ADVs....they look small on the car with the stepped lip....all the ADV pics are photochopped

Get the 20's!

Machined would look great in your car....and for that price you can get them custom painted for $50-75/wheel, depending on the shop, and still be way ahead

I did the same thing to my Forgestars when I got them

What's your price range and how many spokes do you like? Concave or a lip?

I don't like either of them. Specially the 20', you don't wanna put those on your car... they're too big imo

You can buy used a used refurbished OEM mercedes rims (like the CL63 ones) for less than $500 each. I just got one to replace my cracked one. Although those might be too big for you car. I've got an extra one as a spare, you can try it on if you'd like.

Well said, how much are u looking at spending? How much is the ADV cost used? Are u looking for 1 pc or 3 pcs wheels? Do u like 5 spokes or mesh or multi-spokes?

When buying wheels, u have to narrow down ur style & ur price range then u will not feel too overwhelmed.

20's look too big for the C63 imho and everybody is in love with ADV's lately but I don't like them. I would look for other options.

Actually, I would say 20s look fantastic, but there might be too much of a comfort sacrifice.

they look nice but agree

have you considered the 19" amg multispoke? that, the forgestar CF10 and the HRE P44 are the best looking wheel for the C63 IMO. the only problem with forgestar is the insane lead time

You use to have BBS LMs
Why not go back to that? Center bore and offset would be different.
Your C55 looked **** with it.

I would but I don't think there is an application for my car. I would do 20's on the LM's . That C63 would look sick!

Let me know if you do have any leads on that.

As for the forgestar, the CF10 in 20 (gloss black) would look nice but I can't wrap my head on such a long lead time when you can get a forged wheel cut and assembled in less time.
