I know for 08' the US only got 18" and UK, ect. got 19" as an option. With the availability of the AMG "Performance Package" for the 09' model year do you thing the PP comes with 19" or will the US market stay with 18"?

18 inch five star type only...sucks as IMO the optional 19 in europe are stunning.

 

19x8.5 ET43...#B66031117, rears are 19x9.5 ET43...#B66031117.

Dealer order between $1000 and $1200 each

Thanks to "1st amg" for the research on part #'s and costs.

 

So the 19" wheels you are talking about are the same same factory OEM 19" wheel you can get on the UK C63 as an option right?

Exactly

 

Good to know.


Thanks for the info

These 19inchers seem to be generating a lot of interest, maybe a thought of a group buy on these babies, we might get a better deal?

 

One thing is for sure, the car needs more rubber on the ground. If that takes 18, 19 or 20" wheels who knows. I want more grip for 0-60 and -100 type stuff without smoking the tires for 40 feet.

Would any of you know that if the CLK63 Black Series wheels, which completely resemble the C63 european 19" wheel option fit the C63 properly(offset etc), I am not sure if they have the same fitment, should they clear the brakes etc. Thanks guys.

 

I believe these are 20" and 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. I agree that they look great and would add some much needed width, especially at the back. I don't know the fitment but like you am very interested to find out.

Anyone know? Thanks.

 

The wheel size on the CLK63 Black Series are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5

 

In which case tirerack has wrong info on their site (source I used). I'd still like to get 10.5 on the back - any recommendations welcomed.

 

From AMG Official Release:

"The wheel and tire combination used forms a perfect partner for the AMG threaded sports suspension. Pirelli P Zero Corsa sports tires in size 265/30 R 19 (front) and 285/30 R 19 (rear) permit exceptional grip and amazing cornering speeds – with outstanding characteristics in the wet. The tires are mounted on handsome multi-spoke forged wheels. AMG aluminum wheels in size 9.00 x 19 and 9.50 x 19 are produced using advanced lightweight forging technology. The weight reduction results in improved response behavior from the parameter power steering, which is also modified for greater precision and agility."

 

Has anybody looked any further into this issue? The black series mags would look very nice on the c63 and would help the grip situation, but i wonder if the fronts (265) are too wide, or even the rears for that matter.
also, anyone know how much they are?

 

wow this thread got me confused!!

if i order an '09 will i get the 18inch 5 star
or the 19 multi-spoke

???

 

if u live in the US or Canada, there is no 19 inch multispoke option. i was asking about purchasing the 19's that come on the clk black series as an aftermarket wheel solution

 

oh allrite thanks!

i really am not into the multi spoke AMG wheels at all!

i just wish that the 18 inch 5 stars where a little bigger

 

you should take a look at the cl63 wheels then, look exactly like the 18's on the c63 but they're 19's. someone on the forum has them on a black car
