LIL C32 AMG

alright, I have a set of HRE's sitting in the garage. I still have no real buyers, so I am going to just go ahead and order a new set of wheels. Whenever a buyer comes along I will sell the HRE's but I've waiting too long and my C32 needs some new shoes. The HRE's are high polished 18s. I want to upgrade to black with a chrome lip 19's. I have been interested in buying these wheels but I am not sure if they will fit with a 19x10 in the rear.

I want to get wheels tomorrow. I will spend $3000 on wheels and tires. Please chime in and let me hear your opinions.

Keep in mind I wanna do...

Staggered: 19x8.5 Front
19x9.5 Rear without rubbing or fitment problems.

my car is obsidian black with merlot interior, tints and blacked out grille. I wanna keep the black theme so black rims are a must

wheels look hot but u got to make sure it will fit an AMG.

also, 10" in the rear will definately need rolling fenders.

hope things work out and definately post pics if u get them.

Ahhhh.. what a small world. I thought I was the first to want to put these wheels on a black C32. Hahaha. These wheels are supposedly new to the market.

Just ordered a set couple of weeks ago and I was told that I’m among the first to be receiving them, still waiting for them to be shipped !! I talked To Kyle in their customer service and they guaranteed that they would fit our AMG. He said it will need fender rolling if you carry passengers in the back seats, which seems to be the norm with most 19 Inch wheels anyway. Otherwise it shouldn’t rub if you get the right type of tires .

I'll let you know how they fit once I get them. There nice lookin rims !!! I have an obsidian black C32 too so they should look good with a black themed car!!

Oh, another good thing about these wheels is that they are 24 pounds on the fronts and the rears are 27 !!! if that’s true … I’ll be very happy since it should keep the weight ratio the same as the stock wheels. I’ll find out soon.

AMGs come rolled from the factory
a 10 should fit no problem
i got a clk (same chassis) and im running 8.5 w/ 235/35/19 and 10 w/ 275/30/19 (had to grind a little on the inside edge of fender and put 2mil spacers)

tire sizes for c class are:
235/35/19
265/30/19
im on my 2nd set of michelin ps2s that should tell you something, good luck

nope...you still have to get it rolled. I'm waiting on my 1/16 BE 19x8.5 and 19x10 set-up.

the w209 has more fender clearance for wider rear.

btw, my rims two sets ago was this. just to give you guys some ideas what it will look like.

STLTH_AMG

Looks really nice !! they look almost identical to the ones listed above except for the chrome lip. I figured the CLK might have more clearance because most members here who tried 275 on 19's were rubbing like crazy! so thanks for clarifying this.

STLTH_AMG

Received the wheels yesterday. They look nicer in person than in the pictures!! The offset on these is 35mm for fronts and 40mm for rears. The lip is a little over 3". My only disappointment is they weighted at 31 lbs for the rears and not the 27 lbs they claimed.
I'm not gonna be able to mount them on until the winter is over which is sometime in March or April... I hope! You might manage to mount them before that since ur in Florida. Please post pictures if u do decide to get them!! and let me know how well they fit.

Here is a closeup picture of the rear wheel :

Those wheels look great... and for the price... you can't beat it. I could have saved myself a lot of money going with those. Can't wait to see pictures on them on the car!!! The 10" w/ 3" lip is really cool.

AMG_55

dont compare those to hre's
my cousin has a bunch of those at his shop there are a couple of other nice designs made by that company (nad), if i told u the wholesale price ud laugh. my friend got a set for his clk500, look nice but they are 1 piece.

vraa

Heh, wholesale on all rims is cheap man.

D2-AUTOSPORT

I respectfully disagree :p 3pc forged wholesale pricing is still rather pricey!

w203 and w209 are 2 different cars with different rear fender clearances 19x10 is not going to happen on a w203 without mods of some sort.

Good luck with your new wheels!

dragonAMG

I'm not comparing those to HRE, I'm just saying the price difference is HUGE. But, you definitely get what you pay for.

vraa

Not if you go to sales@d2autosport.com, then all rims are inexpensive!

AMG_55

u dont know how cheap these r. u'd b very very surprised.

and i agree w/ d2, hre wholesale 4 example is still very expensive

glomar83

does anybody know anything about ADR wheels? thats the brand i have on my car. i didn't want to spend $5k on wheels, especially since I'm leasing so i went with a cheap 1 piece i don't know much about. I got my set of 19's with tires for $1800. I'll try to post some pics if i can figure out how.

nlpamg

most ADR's won't clear your front calipers... that's the problem I came across when I was looking for wheels. the ADR M-Sport was the one I wanted, but they wouldn't clear the front brakes...

LIL C32 AMG

Yo "BLK_HALO" Those wheels looks beautiful. I just ordered the last pair for $1500 shipped to me down here in south florida. Are you sure these wheels are going to clear the AMG brakes? The guy I got them from said he will refund eveything except shipping costs as long as I don't mount tires. I am very excited and I'm gonna end up buying the Goodyear GD tires on tirerack you told me about. I just need to find a local place to mount and balance down here in florida. keep and touch and ill post pics next week.

HRE were sitting in the garage in December? But, you told me you put them on your C32?

LorinserCClass

I respectfully disagree w/you :p

W203/W209 rims(10" too!!) and BBK's are literally the same as proven in exhibit A below

BlackC230Coupe

FrankW

I have 19x10" in the rear too. only need to trim the rear molding tabs.

glomar83

Kenzmbz
