well i finally found some new wheels for the c coupe with the preferred offsets...


19" x 8.5" ET45 and 19" x 9.5" ET50 (machined face) with 245/35-19 and 275/30-19 Michelin PS2 tires & tpms.


i will be installing them once my lowering springs arrive in a couple weeks...





i'm excited about retaining a stock like appearance with a bump in size & width... only the true enthusiast will note the changes...

pics of the completed package will follow...

Those are some of the best looking wheels I have seen. Who makes them?

Waiting for pics

Those almost look like the E63 forged wheels. Nice find, can't wait to see them on your car. I'm looking at getting 19s soon, too.

THESE are hands down the best looking rims for a c coupe Ive seen ! Been looking for these everywhere, so similar to sl 63 rims !

Where did you get them, and what brand are they? I need these ! also, can't wait to see your pics !

I have been looking ages for wheels with the correct offset, Where can I get these from? many thanks.

Nice one

I actually saw and liked these ages ago when I first got my car and started searching for a set of 19's for it and there's alot of threads in the C204 sedan section of cars with them - check out those for an idea of how they look mounted.

I've yet to see a C Coupe with them on so I await pics, it'll be interesting how good they look on a coupe compared with the sedan, I was left with a 50/50 opinion of the result I've seen on sedans.

There seem to be a number of manufactures making these and some copies even have the AMG logo on them, the nicest ones I'm aware of are or were the ones from Avant Garde, but they are no longer available

The model was M328

~ same ones i purchased... here is a link to the wheels (sl63 replica):

Good to see they still have them andrew c coupe, the book mark I had from months ago of a supplier of those said they were no longer available, but all's good

I'm really looking forward to seeing them mounted up, are you able to also take some pics of the wheels mounted on before you modify your suspension - if possible TIA.

pics !!!!!

andrew e coupe

~ well after additional research... i guess these wheels are really hard to come by... unless you can find a left over set in one's warehouse... for production has stop.

AV1

Damn, that is bad luck - I did check again after your initial post and even on the link you supplied they are not called up/listed

So do you have a set of these or were going to try and get a set ?? I thought the pics you posted up were yours ??

Hope you managed to score a set

andrew e coupe

~ the set pictured are now mine. i was able to find them used with just over 3,000 miles on the complete set up.

i hope to place them on the car over the weekend for some quick pics.

however, they will not stay on the car until it's lowered...for i want the complete package. that should take place in the next 30 days or so according to eibach.

That's great andrew c coupe, look forward to your pics

andrew e coupe

i took some quick pics today... it really looks outstanding in person and the offset is to perfection.

your thoughts and feedback are appreciated...

see below...

Very Nice andrew !!! even without lowering it looks the goods

As you know I want to install a set of 19in wheels on mine but definitely do not want to mess with the AMG sports suspension set up

I'll have to try and get a set of these that still remain out there - any leads ??

Look great man! Did you put spacer on already? How is the ride?

andrew e coupe

~ No spacers are needed since these wheels are wider and have the correct offset.

I only put the wheels on the drivers side for fitment and some quick pics and drove around the block... I will have to let you know once I get the springs and install all 4 wheels placed on the car.

If my car had the sport handling pkg (factory springs are 1/2" lower)... I most likely wouldnt lower the car... But it just sits too high for me.

I have opted for OZ Ultealeggra HLT 8x19 et 45 and 9x19 et 42 in Graphite mat with continental 225x35x19 and 255x30x19. Waiting for delivery.

2012 C250 Coupe

Wheels look great Andrew. Can't wait to see a pic with them and the lowering springs

andrew e coupe

~ finally...

i was able to order the eibach pro-kit (C250 coupe specific application) today but only available through germany directly (costs a bit more but not waiting for US arrival through eibach - could be months).

hope to have the package complete within a couple weeks. installer is ready and waiting for my call.

cheers!

andrew e coupe

~ a better pic...



but still awaiting the springs.

Are you happy with the Offsets? or do you think ET55 would have been better for the rear? I would like to know if the wheels will tuck in under the fenders once its lowered.
