2009 C63 AMG Black on Black PP Package CF fully loaded
Thanks Last Emperor, your right, its two totally different looks, dlbello thanks for the thumbs up, cant wait to see your true black on black. You know after driving it this evening and parking it in the mall parking lot and then at a buddies house, you know that look or glance over you give after you have parked and armed the car with the alarm, you know the look after about 20 feet of walking, turning around and glancing, well i gotta say these wheels have won me over, the car looks ever so AMG, a little more than before, plus these 19's have really filled out the wheel wells, i feel that was now lacking with the 18's.

WOW YOU ARE LUCKY! I called 2 dealers so far to try to get my hands on those rims here in California but no luck so far. I don't think anyone here has those......
1st AMG how long did it take from when you put in the order and was it easy? I ask because I travel to Canada often, so I was thinking of ordering them there since not many people know what they are talking about here.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if anyone is interested but I own a company (completely unrelated to cars) and import goods from China all the time. If I had enough people interested, I could look to import a bunch of sets of these wheels. I have a contact looking into pricing direct from Hong Kong and could ship them along with one of my business shipments in order to save on shipping. 1st AMG, could you please post the part #s so I can provide him the exact details. One more thing, is anyone sure whether these wheels fit on the C300...I'm not sure if offset is the same as the C63. It sounds like they run about $4,000US but I'm hoping I can get them significantly cheaper, especially if we can get a bunch of people interested.
Let me know guys and I'll do some more research.

I wonder is the $4,000 per set the dealer cost, or is that a marked up price? There is always a big difference when you visit the parts department.
I believe you could easily sell your stock 18" rims to a C300 owner to negate about half that cost.

Pretty car, and pretty wheels... thanks for sharing 
Question - what is the noticeable spot where the tire meets the rim, at 6 o'clock for the front wheel, and 8 o'clock for the rear?

That is acutally a little round black sticker that was on the wheel from shipping, it has since been removed, sorry i took the pictures literally after i mounted them in my garage, backed out the car and took the pics.

Try this outfit. Works out to just about $3,100.00 for the 4 wheels
You then need the bolts, center caps and tpms etc
Buy the tires in the USA as they are much cheaper

Those wheels will work out to alot more than that. You have to factor in duty when importing which can be very significant. Probably around that $4K mark that we're talking about by the time you pay shipping/duty/taxes. I am working on getting pricing direct from Hong Kong on them. I'll keep you guys updated, I just forwarded my contact over there the part #s.

I looked into that alloywheels direct from the UK, spoke to Allister, by the time i had it shipped, duties, taxes and plus all the center caps, AMG tire valve covers it was way more, plus to much of a hassle. Going directly to the source was the best way, when i said $4kUSD that is including all the extra hardware as mentioned.

The import duty is 3%.
The freight by ocean is $60
Yes you need the rest of it, which can be ordered in the USA but please explain how Hong Kong will be cheaper unless a knock off!

I'm not saying it's going to be cheaper. I said I could look into it. I import goods for a living, you don't need to explain how it works. These wheels are not available in North America as an option, they are in Hong Kong. I import from China, not Germany so if they are reasonably priced from the dealer there, I could likely get them cheaper than ordering them from a local dealer given the huge mark-ups with are common with auto dealer parts departments. And I'm not getting pricing on knock-offs, only the real thing.

These are the same "looking" wheels, the offsets are different on the CLK63 Black Series, I beleive on that car they are ET45 for all four. For the C32, not sure if they would fit.
