Looking for the ultimate set of rims for my Sportcoupe!
Hi,
I just installed Bilsteins coilovers and i was wondering if you guys could help me to choose a great set of rims for my car.
Right now is sitting in AMG Wheels (18x8.5 Front) (18x9.5 Rear) but i want a set of rims that will make my Sportcoupe look amazing!
So any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Something Slow
Renntechs with some CLK63 6pot/4pot BBK and you would be set!

I dont really like the monolites.
Im looking the Rotiforms models and i think the Forged 3 piece Concave BLQ are so damn cool!
Maybe someone with some photoshop skills could help.

The proportions of your car's rear fender gives a lot of visual height over the rear wheel... and a deep-lipped rim can actually appear smaller than it is (at a glance). Honestly I'd consider a nice concave wheel (think Forgestar F14, CF5, etc) that allows the spokes to extend out to the rim lip. This will preserve the wheel's visual impact (the 18 will still look like an 18) which would compliment the car's big hips quite nicely.
Just something else to consider...

You are 100% right about the big hip.
I will take in consideration the Forgestar wheels.
