I didn't originally intend to look at replicas, I didn't even know there was a replica for this wheel until I was searching for some pictures of this wheel on a W203 (which I never found) and found a link to the Discount Tire Direct web site for this wheel. Then when I found out the stock wheels seem to be having some issues I decided I'd just save the money at get the replicas. I almost pulled the trigger on the real wheels.
I'm going to wait until they get the front wheels in stock before I order, that way I can also get a few more paychecks in the bank. Then when I test fit them I'll see if the stock lugs will work. IIRC I need like 8 threads to be safe right?

Yes 8 threads is good. If you have to change lug bolts remember Benz use ball head bolts - not tapers, not flats etc.

I really want to get some C63 wheels. A set of factory AMG wheels and tires with low miles is going to cost me around $2000. I found a similar wheel from Replica Wheel (Discount Tire). I think either way I'm going to have to buy spacers and lugs. The replicas would be 18X8.5 and 18x9.5 both have a 30mm offset. I can get the replicas with Yokohama S.Drive tires from Discount Tire Direct for about $1400. I don't really have any experience with this brand, so I don't know if it's a good quality wheel or not. I obviously want a smooth ride and something that will balance up easily without a ton of weight. What are your thoughts?

Dangit man. You're right. They look so similar I didn't even realize that! I thought it looked a little different, but I didn't go look at the C63 wheel again. I guess it may be back to the authentic C63 wheels then. :-/

The only other replica I can find of the C63 wheel is on eBay, but it's either silver or black not the gray color. It's a little more expensive too, at $900 shipped. Gosh, shopping for wheels is about as complicated as shopping for the car they go on!

It sucks, I just can't decide which rims I want. C63 18" or the 18's that were offered for my car or go with aftermarket rims. If AM, then something different or replicas. 18 or 19.
It's maddening...

reps are great value imo depending on what your looking for. if your going for looks than a plus if your looking for strong and performance area than nah. i have a set of chrome 18" brabus IV. they look great, i bent 2 and i just bought 2 mint condition reps from another member for a lot cheaper than repairing the bent ones.
just find a good rep brand and a good seller if your planning to buy them in person
g luck

don't know if they will clear a C63.
here are my offsets again:
19x8.5 front ET 32 front w/ 3mm spacer to clear the AMG Brakes
19x9.5 back ET 35 rear
Price was not as bad as it looks!~
Got them from Detail King.
I'll PM you his info.

These are replica... SL63 "style" Even though they do have the AMG emblem cast into the wheel like the originals.
Very light weight! I would say no more than 20 lbs. each even on the rears.

I had that same tough choice... CL63 or these.
The C63 wheels have no openings though. They are different, I think the CL63 look better than those. Just my opinion.
