With your car color and the darker wheel I think its a very tasteful choice with a good contrast combo. The wheel style is very sporty and it will be an excellent choice. wonder if anyone can superimpose them for you...

It's a nice looking wheel, and you cant go wrong with Breyton... very reputable German wheel company. I'm actually surprised to see how cheap they are!!

well the wheels are made in china. but they are are TUV aprooved. TUV is like DOT in USA i think. I remember reading on a thread that Every tuner wheel has to be TUV approoved to be sold in Germany And I think that If you put non TUV approoved aftermarket wheels and have an accident your insurance is void. ( it says TUV approved on the lip wheels) So I guess they are good quality wheels

I've seen 19s and 18s on a c63 in person and from a decent distance I still cant tell a huge difference... Personally I would rather go with 18s due to more tire and better control...but call me crazy...

How do you think those wheels would look on a steel gray (tenorite) c63.
those are 19's and are 250$ each at tire rack

19 is the perfect size for the C63. The ride comfort is almost the same to me. I have 18 for the winter and 19 for the summer and 18 are too small - can't wait till spring

Ive spent 1900 on wheels and 6500 on wheels, and they all bend the same if u hit the right pothole!
I wouldnt let cost deter you as breyton is a weel known name. Heck at that price you could bend one and not feel bad about replacing it (or even curbing it and replacing it). I just curbed one of my Modulare M14s and its costing $500 just to replace the outer barrel.
Those Breytons are nice, they remind me of BBS CH's, a real classy wheel. I say go for it.
Going from 18 to 19 you notice minimal difference - I do it every winter to summer and I dont notice major difference. Im sure they will beg to differ when I hit a pothole though.

LOL I know what you mean. When you hear the sound of your wheel going into the pothole, it always gets you in the gut. 30 profile tires dont give you much chance in pothole territory.

I literally freeze with pain for a split second when I hit one, then Im convinced for the next 20 minutes my car is steering improperly bc i bent a wheel.

Do they come in different finishes? Never been a big fan of black wheels... maybe gunmetal would be the darkest I would go.

Note: A 275/30-19 tire on an ET45/9.5" rear wheel will create rubbing if you decide to lower your suspension. It might even cause a little trouble without lowering.
Either height, it will stick out a little past the fender line. Some like that look, some don't.
