Anybody have pic of Renntech Wheels on a C63

I saw on the Renntech website they have a 3pc. forged aluminum "Signature wheel" for the C63. it is a 19x9 front and a 19x10.5 rear available in Sniper gray or brushed satin ceramic finish. Not crazy about the chrome / polished lip offered with the wheel.

I could not find any pics of a C63 with Renntech wheels to look at. For a wheel that cost $1795.00 each, I would except the manufacture / dealers to have lots of pics on all the cars they offer the wheels for.

I am looking for a 19" wheel to run a 235 or 245 / 275 tire combination. Not a big fan of chrome and don't want what every one else has (HRE for example). I would maybe step up and even go Dymag, but with little US dealer support and no pics of a C63 I have seen I am out for now.

Any Ideas?

I can get you a picture Monday. The gray wheels are monolites with the new Renntech logo etched into one of the wheel spokes along with a machined lip. They look amazing.

Here they are on the RennTech C63




My neighbor has them on his SL63 which looks good but way to steep for me.

$1795.00 for EACH wheel? what size is that?... Not even HRE's cost that much... I guess people indeed have lost respect for money. Good luck to you, i certainly never would pay more than 1200 for each wheel.

But thats just me

They are big bucks for sure. With that in mind without some good pics to look at of them on a C63, I will have to pass. Seems like Renntech would have several pics of them on there web site, guess not.

I agree... $1795 is not worth it for just one wheel especially in this economy. But then again, if you got the money, go for it.

"Monolite" was for the 1 pc wheels. These are 3 pc, but the have the same 10-spoke pattern. Those wheels (the monolites) were made in Japan.

Thanks a million. What do you think of that wheel on a Steel Grey C63? I think Renntech sells the wheel in chrome or "Sniper Gray" what ever that is. Or could I get the centers painted the Steel Grey body color by me or Renntech?

Do you know if Renntech still sell the 'Monolite" 1 piece or just the 3 piece "Signature" wheel? I assume the 3 piece wheel is lighter than the "Monolite", but by how much to command the kind of price.

I know the picture of the wheel above is a 20ich wheel, Not sure what it weighs but the 19inch monolite (1 piece) is lighter than the monolight shown above.

I hear the 19" 1 piece monolite is kinda hard to come by these days. I know of a set of 19's that are new and kicking around. If you email Ken Rudy, krudy@renntechmercedes.com he can hook you up with all the info you need. He has both of these wheels in stock I think. I drool over them when i go into the shop.

Thanks for the heads up on the Monolites and the email address.

Yeah thats the thing, Renntech now only sells the 3pc. The shop that does my work on my car (Dyno-Comp in AZ) happens to have a set of 19's in the 1pc sitting in the show room. they are hard to find from what i hear. Just by my hand test the one piece 19's are really light. under 20lbs. If I wasn't doing a custom supercharger job I would have snaked them up for sure.

Ken from Renntech works out of Dyno-Comp, so if you call Dyno-Comp they can help you out too. If Ken is not there Richard the owner, can help you out.

How will I know if its the correct back space and offset for the C63?

If they are the right color I mite got that route and save a little money, provided they are just as wide or close as the 3 piece, so I can get the bigger tires and the fit is right.

I think the regular monolites they have there are 19x10 for the rear. I will be stopping in there this week to drop off some more parts. I will check for you, if you dont hear back from ken.
