You will need a set of 20 studs and the Volk Lug nuts. They are a direct replacement for the most part.
They only come as pictured, you can change the covers to either blue / black or red. Remember these are heptagonal, essentially making every bolt a lock nut. Unless the thieves have a heptagonal socket readily available

Klassen M52R, textured black
Well, I finally got my new 19" Klassen M52Rs in textured black on Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2, with matching black lugs put onto my ride this week. 245 up front, 275 out back. I love these wheels... Kudos to Frank at Klassen ID, Michael and Dayne at Acute Performance for hooking me up with these (and to Tal at ACG for the matching lugs)!

I have no idea. Sounds odd, I know, but I was told Klassen wasn't keen on communicating their exact offsets but had fit plenty of '14 C63s before and so knew what to go with. Considering how well mine fit, I'd say they were right, but for those who are more interested in calculating offsets and further tweaking ride height, etc., it's not much help. I'd like to consider a drop but there's only about 1/2" clearance front and back to either front suspension or rear wheel well at certain points so I don't even think it'd be possible without carving of some sort.

Just thought the seller would know LOL
But yeah, wheels companies that keeps their offset secret is old skool. They should all be stamped on the wheels so it's easier to re-sell the wheels later down the road (to cars other than C63).

Shouldn't there be a way to measure the wheel and directly measure offset? I could use my OEM 18" wheels (I know the offsets for those) for comparison, if necessary... Any ideas?

Edit: It actually isn't old school to keep offset's secret, it is normal for manufactures such as Klassen, ADV1, HRE, and other's that build their wheels specific to each customer's car. Other manufacture's that list full specs are more of a generic fitment to suite a wider variety of cars since their wheels are produced in higher volumes as opposed to just 1 set per customer at a time. Hope that helps.

You may be correct sir. Offset is considered secret because it takes a manufacture quite a bit of time to determine a proper or "perfect" fitment to make the wheels vehicle specific. They may be stamped on the back of Jfay's wheels, but out of respect to Klassen and other manufacture's I'd appreciate if you could message him privately to discuss this topic in depth.

So psyched. Just placed an order for Vorsteiner VSC-101's and Michelin PSS's. 19x8.5" ET45 front with 245/35 and 19x10" ET52 rear with 275/30. Textured matte bronze. It's going to be a loooong 4-6wk wait for these... traction here we come.

Fake HREs?
This is another C63 I'm looking at purchasing.
Does anyone have any info on these wheels? They are similar to an HRE R43 but that's not what they are.
Any info on this particular car for that matter?
Thanks
