C63 wheel advice
Hey guys,
I could do with some advice. Ive just bought a 2014 C63 Coupe, and was wondering would the '507' wheels fit straight onto my C63 without any modifications or problems?
Thanks in advanced

Yup.
The 5 spoke, split 5, and 507 edition wheels are all the same in terms of fitment on the c63.

If so what wheels would you recommend that are similar looking?

^Well, that just opens up a whole pandoras box of wheel questions and answers.
Flip through these two threads (I suggested working from the last page backwards for more recent 'fresh' stuff):

As far as genuine 507 wheels not being available to non-507 orders... not sure. I've never looked into that. I know a handful of people will pick up replica's especially because genuine 507 wheels are not cheap.
507 wheels will also have an OEM fitment which is too sunk in for me. If I was spending that kind of money on wheels I'd get something like a set of HRE's with a more aggressive offset with better fitment. You can always throw on some spacers though for a better fit.
This all depends on your budget, though. Another option which is a relatively cost effective one with a similar design comes from Vorsteiner wheels. They have vff 101's and vff 103's that have the 'Y' spoke design. There should be some pictures in the linked threads to people who have those.
Anyway, locking down a budget is the first step. Because you can either spend $1200 on replica wheels that will likely crack or bend and leave you with 0 customer support or you can spend $10k+ but if you mess a wheel up you won't be up a creek without a paddle.

Some people do okay with replica's. A lot of it comes down to how the roads are that you typically travel.
For example, those who live in major metropolitan areas deal with much worse roads and have to be extremely careful with what they buy. Potholes aren't and if, but a when for them.
For me, I live in the suburbs/country and have pretty decent roads so could get away with it. Again, just depends on your situation.

If you cna find some 507 Wheels for cheap, why not.
I'd rock them with some spacers to be honest.
However, if they're not cheap, and your'e spending anywhere like 5K for them already, I'd look into a set of HREs.
Or...I have a set of HRE P40SC in 19" with Michelin PSS for sale for 5K Shipped
No need for spacers, perfect max OEM fender fitment

The roads in the UK are prone to having nasty potholes, at least Im always complaining about them haha £5k for rims is tough, its gonna take some saving! Im really liking the Klassen wheels but I cant find a UK dealer.
