See Class with the new C-class Coupe! Concave CV2 20" staggered wheels installed!
This 2012 C-class coupe is the new coupe from Mercedes-Benz making in-roads in its segment. This particular model is a classic silver with red/black leather interior. Taking things to the next level was a lowering kit and our concave CV2 wheels in staggered fitment! Notice how the CV2 stainless lip matches the chrome of the window trim and how well matched this combination is!. The rear concave wheel adds some aggression to the sportiness of this car. This is a great setup for those that want a nice classy timeless look. Click any of the pictures to go to the full 13 picture gallery!
VVS-CV2 - Matte Silver Machined - F: 20x8.5 / R: 20x10.5

Mike-
These also fit the '12 E550 Coupe? We weren't planning to use 20" or the CV2 style though.
Will 8.5" front and 10.5" rear fit using 19"?
What's the weight for these wheels.
Thanks
Due

I have a 250, These wheels looks really good on this car. My concern is the weight, we all know that the 250 is underpowered and adding a 20" wheels im thinking the car is gonna struggle. What is the weight of the wheels anyway compared to the OEM?

You won't notice much of a difference with performance if any. The wheels are around 26- 30lbs each (depending on size), not sure of stock weight.

Are there any pics (real or rendered) to show a C Class with these wheels in 19" ??
TIA.
Edit: also just noticed from the pic folder that the rear wheel lugs stick out of the rim whereas the front don't - why is that ???

There is more to a vehicle's handling than just weight of the rim. Since the tires and rims are "unsprung" weight, they have a greater impact on handling and acceleration than "sprung" weight - such as stuff in the trunk. Since these wheels are larger diameter, you have more mass further from the center hub, making it harder to turn, which is further worsened if the wheel is also heavier.
Will it make a "huge" difference - no probably not, but you might notice a difference - especially at lower speeds/lower rpms.

also... the rear lugs extend past the rim lug holes on the rear rim due to the extreme offset (no way to fix this one). 
additionally, taking a closer look to the attached picture... the rim lips extended past the tires (won't have this)... see front rim edge.
back to the drawing board (prefer mesh style 19 or 20's)... input and pics would be appreciated.

It's what I've been going back and forth about with all of these custom rims for our C Class cars.
The rim is too wide, that's what's causing the stretched tyre fitment, it also looks like the seating face or hub of the rim has been thinned to increase offset to try and get concavity happening, that's what's caused the bolt lugs to end up sticking out
They are however one of the best looking rims for the C Class IMHO in terms of their aesthetic design.
I'm wanting a set of 'proper' fitting and looking 19's for mine and will keep searching...

Do these wheels only come in two finishes??? Is it possible to order custom finish directly from you guys or would I have to do that off my own accord?
Im looking for a matt finish centre with painted lip. Also if you dont mind sharing what offset are these wheels?

I could be wrong, but from the enquiries I made on these it's the 2 finishes only listed on their site, ie. the matt silver ones with machined face shown and alternatively machined face with black windows and only in 20".

The 10.5" wide rim is already 2" wider than the stock rears which means even with the same stock offset they'll be 1" closer to the guard lip edge, knowing how most if not all the aftermarket rims have a lower offset than stock that's going to push them out even further, but that also seems to be the 'in thing' with alot of people on here, some of them even putting spacers to push the wheels outwards more, it's exactly the opposite of what I want, I want to try and keep it all tucked in similar to OEM and everything still works perfectly just like OEM.
I look forward to seeing where this all leads for you Blinks, I'm not game to be a guinea pig on this one

As you know from all these aftermarket rims we're looking at, if those 10.5" wide rims have a low offset number they're not going to fit neatly at all, you'll have to camber them to clear the guards from rubbing especially if your lowering further as well, that causes all kinds of other problems AFAIK those Vossens don't come in different offsets they're only made in one spec. for a particular dia. size.

Each to their own i guess. All my previous cars have had pretty aggressive set ups yet they have all been my daily drivers without a prob. Im going to push it to its limit but without sacrificing too much functionality. In the end of the day I have to be able to drive it. Picture of my old car with the set up I had. Car gone I still have the wheels.
As we all know with the Audi A5 range (and BMW E92) you can easily get alot more dish depth or concavity with rims, you simply can't get anywhere near that for our C Class.
I look forward to seeing your end result
