2011 Mercedes C63
All right, I pulled the trigger. I got a set of BBS CH R wheels in Satin Black for my 2011 C63 in Palladium Silver. Got the Michelin Super Sports. Size: 235/35/19 Front and 265/30/19 rear. Can't wait to get them on!

Post your pics when you get them on. I decided on the Titanium ones, and my car is also going to be Palladium. I'd like to see how the black ones look though.

2011 Mercedes C63
Will do, go them from Tire Rack and they're coming from BBS in GA. Will post when they're on the car. One question, is there any need to use a proper torque wrench to torque the lug nuts?

In regards to the M40 and P40, the M40 were made for Mercedes vs. P40 which were made for Porsche brand models. The wheels in terms of design have little to no difference. M40's are no longer in the HRE line up where as the P40 and P40S are offered this year.

In short, yes there is a need to use a torque wrench to properly torque your lug bolts. I could think of lots of reasons, but personal safety and not damaging my wheels are two easy ones.

The P40S is lighter than the P40 by about 1.5 lbs per wheel. If you'll notice in the center there is a cup in addition to a different method of cutting the spokes.

Try 96 lb-ft (130Nm) as the tightening torque for your wheels. I got it from the flat tire section of the owner's manual and it is what I have been using.
