I beg to disagree with you. I have a set of C63 rims and the paint finish is excellent.

Look forward to the pictures...I am sure you will like the rims. I think you can't go wrong w OEM wheels.

I can also say that the paint and finish on the C63 rims are excellent, must have been a replica if it the finish was poor. Can never go wrong with OEM, especially with fitment issues.

Thanks Tank, now that a sweet a picture. Lowering it would be real nice too, I have to honestly say that the chrome strip on the side doors sure throws off the whole car. Maybe that why the AMG cars dont have them including the CLS. I debadged mines off.

The 18" Twin spoke AMG option to the C300/C350 uses 225/40/18 so I went with this instead of the C63's 235/40/18.

Why would they use different size tires for the front, 235 are a bit thicker than the 225, Maybe for traction purposes, but I would definitely like the lower profile look better.

Weight, the C63 is heavier.

The C63 car is heavier it self, are the C63 rims heavier comparing the 18"amg or are they both about the same?

I believe the front wheels are the same weight as they are the same size and made out of the same material. The rear wheels on the C63 are 1/2" wider so they certainly weight a little bit more but it's not a big difference in weight. One difference though is the offsets, the C63 wheels will have a more aggressive stance. Compared to the 17" OE wheels on my C350, the fronts are pushed out 4mm and the rears 6mm. I put my 17s on in the winter here and the C63 18s on in the summer and the visual difference is noticeable.

Also on a side note, using the 235 tire in the front I notice slightly less understeer.

Might be a silly question, but what exactly do you mean by a more aggressive stance? Is it the car will look wider and bolder giving it a more aggressive look?

Correct, the difference in offset pushes the wheels out a bit so the stance is wider / more aggressive.

You car looks great by the way

Thanks Krytech, Yea I understood what you mean right aways once I got the wheels on. I am very happy that I went with the C63 wheels, they are soo much beatiful in person and on the car. For some reason I am feeling more on an attachment to the car now, lolz. Looking at the car with the rims, it makes me feel as if I am ready to go and rev the hell out of it.
