Question about some wheels
Hey guys,
So I'm new here and I'm looking to get a C63 of my own and was wondering about some wheels. They are AMG replicas but they are another model other than the W204. The offsets are 35mm on both the front and rear and was wondering how to get them to work.

Thanks!

Regardless of quality, you will have a hard time with these wheels because of the rear offset. It might be possible to machine off 15mm or so of the back plate but it is hard to know what that would do to the structural integrity of the wheel. If it were me, I would just look for wheels elsewhere.

They won't work without rubbing issues. The offset is WAY too aggressive. The other issue you will deal with is weight. Replicas are normally very heavy and quality is sketchy... I'm not saying there aren't OK quality replicas but it is hard to know. I bought replicas but they are winter use only so I don't care as much about quality.
