What are the classic aftermarket wheels for MB (as BBS is to BMW)?
if any...
Any ideas about spacers for the C63 just to make the stock wheels that bit more agressive?
Thanks

I honestly don't know that answer, they may not have any wheel? I for one do not like spacers, 5 mm is acceptable for the rear. But if you want to get more aggressive to fill in the wheel well, I would just buy wider wheels. As the larger spacers put alot of stress on the suspension, ball joints and such. And as most spacers are aluminum, and your rotors are steel, they tend to stick together (and a ***** to get off). I did this on my 2002 BMW 525i, and had to just a air chivel to separate them. Just my two cents

Good question, if I recall correctly BBS seamed to cater mainly to BMW and I cant remember seeing too many if any Benzes with BBS wheels.

Once upon a time, the classic aftermarket wheel for Mercedes was AMG. Probably shouldn't count that, these days.
So... maybe one of the Brabus wheels, or Renntech, as a "classic" MB aftermarket choice.
Otherwise, while not MB specific, HRE's seem to be quite popular on Mercedes.
