Need Your Opion On Wheels!

hey UR2SLOW,
you should post all the photoshops that i've done for you to give everyone a better look.
If you go for 18'' , i suggest the c63 replica because there is no lip and it will look bigger and nicer/classier
if you go for a wheel with a lip like the milleniums... you need at least 19'' because a lip will make ur wheel look smaller and if you get 18'' with lip, then it will look pretty stupid!

I would of posted both photshops. But the C63 wheel you did is the real one not a replica so no point totally different. The guy at the rim shop here he said i would be fine with 18" same with the millennium or replica. He said 19" is bad for our roads with the potholes etc.

Go find another tire guy! 19's are fine for potholes, construction and all out crappy roads. 255/35-18 sidewall is 3.51" and a 275/30-19 is 3.24"
So your tire guy thinks 1/4 of an inch is going to make a difference??? Go for the TSW wheels in 19. You spent the $$$ for a REAL mercedes, you didn't buy a replica... So why would you buy replica wheels?

Is that why my friend just had to spend $1000 to repair his Racing Hart 2 piece rims because they ALL bent when he hit a "construction hump" in the road. These are great wheels but the bigger you go- the more likely you are to have problems like this. I also had problems with anything over an 18. My other concern with 19+ wheels is that EVERY review I read on the C63 when they were first coming out said the test car had optional 19" rims and the performance was hindered greatly. If you want flash- go 19+. If you want good handling and performance- stick with 18-. I know people will disagree but thats there prerogative. Put what you like on the car and don't worry what others think.

Yep Racing Hart wheels are 2pc... But the outer hoop is spun alum. And like ALL wheels that are 2 or 3 pc with spun hoops, THEY ARE WEAK. They are very prone to bend under the most minor instance. Lowenhart, Asanti, HRE and TSW all have spun hoops. Find a company like MHT or Cache that have forged hoops and have no fear with 19's. Because if my wife the rally car driver in her c350 can have complete disregard for driveways, speed bumps, construction zones and even an occasional 2x4 on the freeway at 75mph, then you my friend shall have no fear for the open road either...

No thats not why your friends wheels bent... It's partly due to the tire sidewall height, or lack of, but most of all its the wheel.
