can't decide between the Momo Revenge and BBS LM. what would you go with ?
both are available in 19" , I should mention I am a little wary about the LM's being reps and unsure of the lip size but will know for sure tomorrow when I take a look.
I do like the wheels I currently have, just wanna change up for a while.
Decided to got with BBS, now just gotta pic a color combo 🤦🏽♂️
Excellent choice IMO! I would definitely choose the BBS wheels. I don't think that MOMO design works well for a Mercedes (JMO).
Again, this is just my opinion, but I'm not a fan of all black wheels... to me if they are all black it almost doesn't matter what the design is, it just looks like a black hole to me, lol.
Good luck with whatever direction you go and what you like is what really matters!
ive actually stumbled across very nice set of gunmetal 19s 8.5/9.5 but he offsets are really aggressive 33 front and 30 rear ..... not sure if its worth 2hour drive there to see if they'll fit
On my W205 fronts, a 19x8.5 ET35 with a 245/35 was perfect (almost perfectly flush and no interference) with the car lowered about 88mm. Any more poke beyond that will probably need a shorter and/or narrower tire. It also really depends upon your particular ride height.
I didn't run a 9.5 rear, so I'm not sure about that, but a ET30 doesn't sound right, IDK.
But this can all be determined without going anywhere. Using a combination of online tools like willitfit.com and using some straight edges/sticks, etc. and rulers/tape measures to determine how much space you have before interference, it can be figured out. This is how I determined my setup and it worked out well for me.
Good luck man and I'm looking forward to seeing what you end up with!
Also keep in mind that my setup cannot really be used as a formula for others. There are many variables involved once the car is no longer at stock ride height and any other changes that have been made from stock.
An example can be like on my rears, I had a camber kit on the rear and my camber was 0.5 negative, so almost straight up and down. If it were at the factory camber settings, the top of the wheel would be sitting more inboard, allowing more fender clearance.
Ride height is a major factor for offsets. If I would have raised the ride height on my setup, the wheels would have looked like they are poking out much more.
to me this looks perfect but yeah ride gonna make a difference for sure. im sitting pretty low too my fender to ground is 25.5" all the way around.
I think I can 19x8.5 35ET

Yeah, your ride height looks pretty close to what I had, which yours looks awesome BTW.
When I first got into thinking about custom wheels for my W205 (years ago now), I used Dimitrius' great C400 wheels thread as a starting point for my sizes and measurements here:
oh yeah that's a awesome thread, lots of info.
so this gonna sound stupid but the c300 and c400 have same wheel specs? Back when I first got my car I had gone to get wheels and two local suppliers had told me that they were different, may as well attempt using c63 ETs are wrong

Not stupid at all. I had a 2015 C300 4Matic and the factory offsets were the same as a C400. The C400 had larger brake calipers though, so for a C400 (or C43) that needs to be considered for wheel diameter and brake caliper clearance, but otherwise the same offsets.
The C63 is definitely different and will not work (for many components). A C63 can really be considered a different car in many ways.
my car has the larger brakes, AMG line. that's why had originally thought I'd be ok with C400 spec wheels but was deterred by info from wheel shops lol
how do you guys feel about rep wheels? I came across a set of LM style wheels and they look pretty good. They're not 5x112 so can't get them anyway but I hadn't given any thought to buying reps before .
on a positive note the wheels gonna look really good once I find a set lol
