I don't get why people ask other's opinions of what wheels look good on their vehicles... Wheels are such a personal choice... It's your vehicle and your money... Get what looks good to you, regardless of what others think... I personally have my wheels painted neon green and have a white vehicle... My brake calipers are neon pink... Looks hott....

I think you should make the drive up to the Valley (not this weekend ) & we can test fit these on your car to see how they look .

Quote: Mike the car rocks in performance and has much improved handling over its past generation- IMHO do not sacrifice too much function for form- 21's are too big and heavy. You can get absolutely amazing wheels in the 20 inch format that not only have looks but also are very performance oriented.

I have this set up:

HRE C97's

20x9 and 20x10 and both front and back weigh under 22 lbs.

Dont bling your car out.
Totally agree....all you need is 20's and a slam....

Quote: Forgiato Concavo

I've seen these in person on my buddy Maserati GT, looks very clean and price is reasonable, and most importantly is a 2 piece and not 3 (went through hell with 3 pieces on last cls)

My New cls63 is black exterior and black interior. thinking of powdering coating the center and lips all semi gloss black.

what do ya think? and also will forgiato wheels fix Mercedes center cap?
OP/NewguyCLS- Forgiato's are awesome. One of those type wheels that pics dont do it justice. One of my favs is the Vizzo, not for this car but I almost bought an AM vantage just cause I saw how it looked!

Yes they have some questionable designs but this one will look good. My only thing is it could hide the nice brakes..stay with silver for a Blk/Blk car IMO...would love to check it out when you get it if youre around!

I think it's still a matter of preference just like before.
The 2012 CLS can still get a lot of lip on the rear.

Forgiato Concavo
I would def do 22" Forgiato Concavo on the new CLS. This will look great on the car. Def gotta do a big lip in the rear.
22" is def the way to go. Black face and chrome lip.

Quote: lol !!! Thanks Vic !! I knew I can always count on you for wheel advise.... now the next most important question is, where can I go to get the best deal? and I am seeking new shops other than the ones Ive been in the past !!!
Give us a call We have an installation facility nearby, and we would be glad to help you out. I think many can vouch that we price competitively and our customer service is unparalleled. There are many great options for your vehicle- either in 20" or 21". The CLS seems to be similarly sized to the new 5 series, and 21" looks incredible on that car.

Check out this 21" Rennen R7Mesh Extreme Concave set-up we just did on one of our client's project cars...

I just recently purchased wheels for my 2012 CLS 550...
I decided to go for a sporty yet elegant look so I purchased 20" Cor Brava 3 tone custom wheels. The wheels are light weight for performance, but have chrome lips for a little bit of bling...

I'm very happy with the results and would recommend you check out Cor Wheels, because they have other styles like concave wheels that would look stunning on your CLS 63.

Enjoy the pics and share your thoughts:

The pictures look good, but the details of the wheels look a lot better in person.

I guess I had a totally different experience/preference. I ran Vossen 20's for about 2 years and the ride was too harsh for my taste. I have my Vossen 083's up for sale on the forum if anyone is interested.

They looked great on the car, but I think I prefer 19's.

Quote: I may get heat for this but forgiato to me is more of a "ghetto" brand. not something to put on a cls63
"Ghetto Brand" What makes them "Ghetto" ?
