Need opinion and some info!

Hey everyone, i'm looking at 2 sets of different rims for my c300. I'm not 100% sure what offset I need for each rim. I've searched but the outcome keeps confusing me as some say this and another says that.

I'm currently leaning into getting a set of SSR Vienna Zweel rims in 19"

If not that then Either DPE Wheels or maybe even a set of HRE Wheels (If I can afford it)

Heres the link to the SSR Wheels: Link
If you click on the 19" Button a pop-up comes up with different sizes/offsets.

From what I've searched the offset is Fr +40 / Bck +45. Can anyone confirm? Also if they have to be staggered?

Heres the Link to the DPE Wheels: Link


Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance as well!

HRE if you can afford. Those SSR look pretty good too. As do the DPE. All look to be good choices, but HRE FTW.

Yea I have a wholesale account with HRE but the cost is still crazy expensive. My boss bought a set of 20" HRE's for his M3 cost him about $6500 with tires.

I'm not to keen on forking out anything above $5000 for wheels =P

I'm leaning more to the SSR and DPE Wheels. They're around the same price..rough estimate about $2,000 - $3,000

But I don't know the correct offset to get. I don't want them sticking to far out and I don't want them to rub. Just thinking about it gives me a headache

Anyone with any answers for the offset?

I'm clueless when it comes to wheel sizes. Any helps appreciated.

great thanks!

I figured they'd be somewhere around 40-50 from what i've searched so far.

I see you went with IForge wheels. I was considering that as well..still expensive but some baller *** rims.

Group buy $4K. Still pricey, but I'm selling my stock AMG for around $2.3k so out of pocket new cash wasn't too bad.

Edit: whoops, I meant to say around $3K

PM sent.

Yeah, it was a great deal. I was going to get HRE, but those would have been an extra $1-2k. For now I'd rather take that $1-2k and dump it into other mods. IForged is still no slacker.

whoops, I meant to say the wheels cost me around $3K. $4k was my total price with a set of Toyo T1R tires.
