Finally got my 19's
After a long wait, I finally got myt Style V 19" wheels! I decided to go with Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires. They were the same price as the Nitto's I usually run for the same price and the reviews were great. I'll do a write up after I put some miles on them.

AMG GT-S & GLE 63S Coupe
I'm always amazed at how these AMG Multispoke's are so hard to come by for you guy's in the US!! Over here in the UK, every other C63 has these wheels fitted (well, we would; they look so good!!).
What's the reason MB USA don't allow you to spec these from the factory - is it down to one of your strange 'safety' rules?

Thanks! I was told the 19's aren't sold in the USA because the roads here have too many pot holes. I got a great deal from alloysdirect.net but it took about 3 weeks for them to ship. I only spent $2,400 all together including shipping and the center caps which is a great deal. I'm keeping the 18's for track days.
I went with 235/35/19 in the front and 265/30/19 in the rear.

I ran Nitto 555's on the 18s and while I had GREAT tread life out of them, it was down right scary to drive in the rain. The Continentals have a 8.7 out of 10 rating on tire rack which was the highest next to the PS2's. Plus the price was right as they were only $975 installed which including removing my TPMS' from the 18's and remounting and balancing the old tires back.
