Show your shoes 19" only

I like to change my AMG 18" wheels to 19", I like the Vossen wheels, but before take the desicion, I like to see options.

Thanks,

Before deciding to go to 19" you might want to check out this review

I agree. I don't see much of a difference between 18" and 19" rims besides for the cost. Also, since I have 4Matic, I wouldn't go higher than 18" rims.

Not only do the tires cost more for 19" rims, but they wear much quicker. 19" belong on coupes, 18" on sedans.

18 is already an upsize from 17....so should he go to 17 inches. If you want 19...go 19. You will be fine, brakes will be fine, you won't wear that much more, the only thing is your ride comfort will be decreased.

Hola David! .... I'm bullet from the eurocrew

After seeing ur car and feeling the vibe that you are doing... i would imagine your car with these wheels, i dunno if you'll like them.. but they'll look amazing with the setup you've given the car

Even though Amg Performance wheels are hard to find... there's a Mandrus wheels option (Mercedes specialist)... like this one.. in 18's.. but you can buy a set of H&R springs and correct the look you are trying to achieve and these would pull it off.. in a staggered option

My 19" kleemann rims.
The tires are pretty quiet (Dunlop SP Sport Maxx)
It feels like the car is glued to the tarmac in bends, major increase in handling (but then I had 16" wheels before )

Finally got home!... i uploaded some of my pics ... these are 19's staggered CL63 Reps... or the Euro 63's







19's Brabus Monoblock 3's





19's Brabus monoblock 4's







.... I was gonna buy a set of vossen wheels... like these... but mounted i kinda saw they were a bit ricey... plus almost most Mb's that go to "AG/ Aros y Gomas" (a luxury wheel shop here in PR) eventually mount a set of them.. i've seen 4 with the same set up so that threw me a bit off it..

Yeah 19's without an aggressive drop with coilovers or cut springs doesn't look right to me on the C class.
