C55 Aftermarket Rim Options

Wassup MB enthusiast,

What is the best aftermarket rim out there which won't affect the performance and also the look. The size I'm interested is 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear.

that OR the Carlsson 1/16 UL OR the BBS RS-GT OR the BBS LM-R. all of them can be had in that size and weight around 20-22lbs each. my LM is heavier at 24lbs each. BUT if you are going with 19x10 in the rear you will need to do some fender rolling and some other minor trimming.

OR you can get my BBS RE 18x8 18x9 weight in at 20lbs each.

Check these rims out. HRE 840R and DTM Kreuz 10
Both are light weight but on the pricey side.....
Not sure on the HRE's but my DTM Kreuzs are 20lbs up front and 22lbs in the back.
Plus they were somewhat affordable for being forged.

I think our cars looks the best with 5 spokes (star shape) wheels..
HREs or 360forged carbon series would be my top choice..

Other my fav.
1. Renn tech monolite
2. BBS LM ( for some reason, it looks amazing on our cars.. do search for pics)
3. CLK 63 wheels
