I am planning on getting sets of 18" TSW Nurburgring Matte Gunmetal for my winter wheels because my dealer suggest I use 18" instead of my stock 19" 16-spoke.

I photo-shopped the wheels on; what do you guys think, any good ?

I like it, looks really good and matches nicely with the white.

Will look very nice for winter wheels. My problem with the overall aesthetic is that it looks very BMWish...but that's just me.

Although I agree that it looks very BMW like, the issue is that almost every wheel that is available for the C63 (based on the research I have done) is also available for various BMWs and those cars outnumber the Mercs by a margin with after market wheels for some reason. It almost seems that many styles are "associated" with BMW but, I agree these are moreso as they are similar to the CSL/ZCP wheels that come OEM. Maybe the reason I like these is they do remind me of my M3 wheels which I think look nice. Even if they are associated with BMW style, I still like them on the C63

In pre-purchase research on the C63, the biggest issue is the inflexibility of after market wheels that work well (as compared to the M3).

I like those alot! Really looks like the HRE M40's.

Go for it, they look good on the C63... you will be rolling in style this winter... and you cant beat the price of TSW!

thanks for the positive comments and yeah main reason I chose TSW because they re pretty good looking and really good deals for them. The salt and snow gonna kill the wheels anyway, better to get cheap but yet reliable and stylish rims

now the question is what brand snow tires are reliable and cheap also

Dunlop?

Roswell

Considering you live in the west coast, and you dont get too much snow... I would say any winter tires would work... if you're looking for cheap, check Cooper or General tires.

Ive heard good things about Continental Extreme Contact DWS and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus.

The car looks nice with those wheels. Does look kind of BMWish, but still nice.

They look pretty good. We have installed quite a few sets on various c-classes.
