Disagreed.

The proportions with those 20's look just right. Go ahead and order a set of HRE Competitions in 18 or 19's for the C63. Waste of $6k, because a)the stepped lip makes the wheels look very small and b) why would you buy a set of aftermarket wheels the same size as stock?

I don't want to hear performance this and performance that. You don't spend $6k in wheels to gain perfermance IMO.

Umm...Yeah,20's have very little tire profile and good luck hooking from a dig...Some of us buy these cars to have a practical 4 door sports car.
And putting 20's on a c class or 3 series= Yuppie mullet...

I must admit, I didnt think those M40's would look that good on the C63, but holy cow, looks great, was the car lowered? What size of 20's are they, and offset if you will, please. Congrats, I think you are the first one of us to customize this car.

I have to agree...I didn't think the M40's would look good either as I've seen them on the CLS and didn't think they fit the 4 dr sedans as well as the CLK 63 BS, but I have to say it looks good. Personally, I would paint em satin black though I'm still going to go with a lip though, but a non stepped lip!

That's probably the worst comment I've heard. 20"s are perfect size for the car looks wise.

20's look better than I would've thought. It fills in the fronts perfectly. The rears get swallowed up. If you can adjust the rears and settle with a more raked look, then I think we have a winner.

Post up some pics with pov looking down the side, from back to front. I imagine with the humped out flares at each wheel well, these HREs hit the spot. Even better, though, would be a set with a nice subtle lip.

Again, why even suggest $6k HRE's to sell yourself short in the looks department? You want all the grip in the world, go buy yourself a set of DR's and mount them on the stocks for 1/10th the price.

I stand by my statement. The 20's look perfect on the car. Perfect proportion.

Do you have to make modifications for 20 inch wheels? I presume 19inch wheels can be placed without modification. You mean you had new wheels... (referring to pic 2)

+1. Way too big. 18" would be just fine, 19" is already stretching it IMO.

They look ok. But I think something with a lip staggered would look a lot better. 20's fit that car perfectly.

You're talking looks and UltraSuperDudeS is talking perf. The 20's do look great but no way they'll survive real world driving unless you happen to live in a garden spot with perfect roads. The 19's would be as far as I'd go to balance looks and performance.

The lines of the car look super clean with the new wheels plus the front side markers being painted. I love it
