Saw these wheels, what do you think?
I think these in an 18 x 8.5" might not be a bad winter option:

kind of remind me of these:

Ya very sharp! Just make sure that you get a good tire. Good tire actually safe lives. I use Bridgestone Blizzaks and these babies grips to snow like there's no tomorrow.

huh, or get these in 19's and use the stock 18's as winters (though staggered setup is not ideal)...

It would be nicer if they were staggered. Trying to find these myself.

I email powerwheelspro a week ago and they said C63 fitment is about 5 weeks away for the SL63 replica.

What is C63 fitment ie what are the wheel specs to check for (offset, etc.)? I assume, biggest issue is clearing the AMG brakes.

I don't know the details, but I was assured that no spacers would be required to use the wheels on a C63.

I'd prefer this in an 18" for the winter (w/c they do come in); or 19" staggered for a summer set. Will have to check if the 18's offset is still et44mm...

Is that a good company, they make replicas right? How good quality on their products? What´s your take on replicas anyway?

as far as the wheels in the original post, I spoke w/ the seller and he said they may get 19's staggered in a few weeks. He also had them in 18's but offset is +30's w/c would not work on our cars.

So what wheel size should I be looking for for winters? 18x8 or 8.5, et 44mm? Very hard to find something like this out there...
