got a link to those on your car? Ooops my bad, the one in the box is the c63. the one on the rear next to my car is the e63, they look very similiar. here's the e63 in the box. not going to choose the c63 it cause it only comes in 8.5J. ( that is what i'm told...)

I'm looking at 225/40/18 Front and 255/35/18 for the rear. some go for 235/40/18 for the front and 265/35/18 for the rear. So far i'm looking at bridgestone RE001's, there are quite cheap and offer decent performance. about 850 for all four tires.

those don't look like very good replicas, I like the SL63 wheels a lot more.

Powerwheels Pro had a version of the C63 wheels which were silver/black instead of silver/anthracite. Not sure if they still have them though. I really like them too. If I ever change the wheels on mine that's what I'm going with.

what kind of tires are you using (size wise)
I'm looking at 225/40/18 Front and 255/35/18 for the rear. some go for 235/40/18 for the front and 265/35/18 for the rear. So far i'm looking at bridgestone RE001's, there are quite cheap and offer decent performance. about 850 for all four tires.

I'm running 235/35/19 all around on a 19x 8.5 on hankook evo12 fronts and bfg t/a rears. The car actually had less understeer when i destaggered.
But i mostly went for the destaggered for the ability to route my tires since i drive 20k a yr.
The hankook are pretty good dd tires for $150 a piece. I'm probably going to replace the rears with hankook evo12 as well maybe next yr.
Tirerack has a special on good yr F1's for $220, which i hear is on par with michelin ps2's.
If you track you car a lot, i would go with the michelin ps2's though.

I finally decided to go with the e63 style instead of the SL reps for a few reasons. I wanted to stick with 18" instead of 19" for both cheaper tires and lighter wheels. The rear weighed about 8 pounds heavier than stock
, front about 4lbs more. SL reps were even a bit heavier...Not sure if its me but i do feel the power difference between 17" and 18".
Here are the before and after pics.
