Any recommendation for light-alloys?
Hallo everyone,
I was wondering if any of you have fitted or know any aftermarket wheels which fit the C 63?! I'm in search for an ultra-light alloywheel set to replace my 19" stock. Volk-Racing or Yokohama Advan series is fine as long as the offsets are a match, but I haven't found any manufacturer yet. I guess the aftermarket replacement market for the C-class ain't hot as the bimmers.
My real hope and wish, is to get a set of ultraleggera's in 18 or 19.
Any advice or info would be thankful!
Have a great weekend.

The 19" multi-spoke are forged one-piece, aren't they? Can you really find other 19's that are as strong and light (or lighter)?
If it's in the budget, you probably can't beat Dymag's for strength/weight. Otherwise, maybe HRE's?

I have always liked the Kleemann TS6's and Carlsson 1/14 RS wheels. I seriously considered both of these as well as the OEM AMG 16 Spoke before my car arrived. Went with the OEM in the end.

Yeah, you're damn right. They're forged. I think HRE is the answer to my thread. (I wouldn't mind fitting Yokohama ADVAN's)

I was kidding, but someone here will surely pay more than what they are worth, with rubber, if you are to order them from Mercedes, your paying more than 6,000.00, unless of course you have a few contacts.

As for HRE 20's, it may be the tire selection which are quite limited and leave me out of consideration (along with the +weight of the tires). I think 18" is better in terms of overall drivablity and even for the suspension durability itself. The only reason I op'ed for the 19"s is the looks. (stock 19" are width wise same as the stock 18", 19x 8J front and 19x 9x rear respectively.)

Not sure if you ordered a set yet, but we got a set from CCW Wheels here in Daytona Beach, FL. John is a real good guy to work with, and has numerous styles. The fit is perfect and very ligth weight. Only using the rears for drag racing. Hope this helps.... www.ccwheel.com
