18" AMG stock C63 5 spoke rims vs 18" AMG upgrade twin five spoke
I would like some opinions please.
Which of the two different designs of w204 18" 5 spoke AMG rims would you choose and why?

I prefer the solid 5 spoke. The splits are OK but I would like to have bigger, nicer looking brakes to go with them.

Which
I was just yesterday looking at couple of unsold C63s at my dealer and the wheels, with their grey finish, look permanently covered with brake dust.
The grey C63 ones are weak, better get some Euro C63 wheels

+1 But I'm biased. They are easier to clean, just apply a little wheel wax after you wash the car and any/all brake dust will wipe off without any need for a wheel cleaner in between washes. Wheel wax is great temporary solution to brake dust if anyone is waiting to upgrade their rotors/pads like myself.

2009 C63
I will be selling mine within the next 2 or 3 days.
C63 18" 5-Spokes. Perfect condition - no rash, scratches or etc.
Only put 1350 miles on them - 1000 were for run-in and haven't done a single burnout.
I'll post pics probably Saturday or Sunday.

Anybody now if there is a weight difference between the two? Going off size alone, the C63 rims are 1" wider all around I think so they may weight more, but that depends if the material used is the same for both styles... Bueller?
