Im thinking of replacing my stock rims/wheels with some aftermarket ones. What brand do you guys recommend?

Also, if i were to get them, i would probably go with silver (so it matches with my car color) because i dont think black would match with silver very much..

Suggestions for brands and wheel style will be appreciated.

Thanks !

Check out the picture thread, and also some of the vendors advertising on the C204 forum. I'm running ForgeStar F14's myself. Black wheels contrast with Silver rather well, but it's really a matter of personal preference. Nowadays they have Gloss/Matte/Textured Black/Gunmetal/Silver etc, so many choices! It really depends on your price range too. If you're looking at under $1000 for wheels only, you'll have to get cheap eBay cast ones. Most decent cast/spun-forged 19's are $1500-$2500 a set, and forged like DPE/HRE/iForged will run you much higher ($4000+).

^ HRE wheels are sexxx... Too bad I have to rob a bank to get some... HRE - are you guys planning on starting a "budget" line at all? This would certainly help prevent all the replicas from being made, and attractive wheel designs are hard to find at "budget-oriented" pricing points, so I would imagine there is a relatively easy/large market to capture there.

Lon, how much are the Carbon Fiber HRE's that were fitted on Underground Racing's Twin-Turbo Gallardo at my booth during SEMA?

A quality "budget" priced wheel (of course it's only "budget" relative to HRE's P40SC) already does exist - its BBS' CH-R.

Why even advertise P40SC on this forum? Who in their right mind would spend $8K on any wheels (plus tires) for a $40K car? On a $115K MSRP CLS63... well maybe, but to spend as much as 25% of new car's cost on wheels?

OP, please give us a price range so that we're not all shooting in the dark for ya. The aftermarket wheel industry is huge and there are many choices, so you will need to narrow it down.

@threeMBs, agree on being crazy to spend $8k on $40k car, but some people get hooked up/sponsored so if they can get it for a reasonable fraction of the retail cost, then it wouldn't be so insane.

They were $12k per a set before. We'll be re-introducing our CF Series.

Sorry, forgot to check up my post :S.

Anyhow, i currently have 17" wheels, but i would like to make it 18"/19". As for the price ranged im looking of not exceeding ballpark of around 1500 - 2000

As for the desired style but im thinkin of getting maybe an amg/silver/gunmetal ? (i would like to take a look at the options available)

Thanks
