Can someone clarify this for me. Looking to install Vorsteiner V-101 wheels for my C63. Asked two retailers to give me a price estimate. One came out more expensive than the other because it says I need a set of Vorsteiner bolts which cost extra but the other says OEM bolts are fine, Thanks guys

depends on how they make the seat for the lug bolts. OEM mercedes uses ball type iirc and most aftermarket wheels use conical types, unless you tell them to make it a ball seat.
I can't comment on whether Vorsteiner does it, but i would assume they would give you the choice.

Thanks noodleman for your much valued input~!
Another thing, Which one do you guys think looks better in 19" texture black on a black C63
The V-101 or the V-106? From where I live, the retailer does not stock these wheels, Thanks guys!

Any of you guys have a P30 suspension set up and running 19's?
Can you let me know so I can look up your pictures.
Planning on getting a set of 19's but will prob leave the P30 suspension as it is since it is already a little lower then the no P30s. I just want to make sure it looks good. I want to go with maybe some AMG replicas in 19s since I like the way the stocks wheels look on this car except they are too small. Id like to go bigger and wider if possible.
Any ideas and input would be great. Thanks

I also have 19" wheels on my '09 with P30 stock suspension. I have pictures posted on Aftermarket wheel thread...White car with HRE 570R black wheels. I can get back to you on wheel dimensions and tires as I don't recall them.
BTW, no issues with tire rub with 255/30 on rear (size recommended by HRE)...going to a 275 soon. Have 235/ 35 on front (these tire sizes are off the top of my head).
See post #588 on this thread for pics.....

Trying to decide on wheels, found a good deal on the AMG V multi spoke's can't decide to go with these or a set of aftermarket. Also to powder coat or not, anyone have pics of a black on block with the powder coated multi spokes preferably with tinted windows. I saw a few in the photo thread and in this thread with the regular silver finish or else the new matte coupes.

Wow that looks amazing, that just made my decision so much more difficult. Are the oe black wheels a flat or satin finish? I found a set for $2000 but they are silver but for like 200 the shop will powder coat them. I was thinking gloss black but am not sure
