Anthony, thx for all ur help throughout my purchase process! I'm so happy with the outcome.
I was afraid of rubbing in the rear at first cuz my old P40 was rubbing bad with 19x9.5 +50 (275/30 V12)..
Can u tell me why I'm not rubbing with 19x10 +50 & 275/30/19 PSS ? Is it the half inch extra in diameter or the V12 vs PSS that is saving me?
I was also afraid of rubbing in the front, but no problem there at all. Lots of room at 19x9 +40 with 245/35/19 PSS.

Thx Matt, I'm very happy with the outcome. I was sceptical at first about selling my beloved P40, but it was a good gamble that didn't set me back too much in terms of $.. So well worth the upgrade.

Looks great Meng
You know i love the P40SC's dearly. They are one of my fav wheels of all time.
I still say you can add another 5 MM spacer all around to get it extremely flushed. Give it a few days, let your suspension resettle again and take a few more pics.

Thx Kriston, yes the P40SC was always my dream wheels.. I wanted to buy them 2 years ago, but couldn't afford them (or justify spending that much on wheels). I'm glad I found this mint set at a huge discounted price.
Yes, photoshoot coming up! Stay tuned...
P.S I wish my wheels were as concave as urs though. They look fantastic on ur car.

Ben are you going to the season opener cruise?

Outside of your picture taking capabilities... "lol"
Very serious note, wheels look awesome man!
I'm not digging the rear spoiler fade job, but I understand the thought process.

Kriston, I will sure make it to one of the meets this year.. Just don't know which one. It's always a pleasure to meet members on here in person. Benson is more baller in person! lol
Autosport, I do suck at taking pics as well.. That's why I always ask my few photographers friends to shoot my car, this time around I just wanted to show the rear concavity. lol
As for the fading paint rear spoiler, it's a love or hate affair. I get lots of compliments on it & my Bodyshop friend didn't charge me to do it cuz he did me a favor.. So I will rock it a bit longer. I will eventually paint it all white cuz I think CF spoiler on a white trunk is too much "in the face" for me. Just my taste.

Yeah, my C63 offset is pretty aggressive.. 19x10 +50 , the ISF is 19x10.5 +53 but my C63 is lowered.
Ur CLS63 must have a lower offset, shame on our C for such high offset.

Purple, the rear of the ISF has the same concavity as the C63 (19x10 +50 vs 19x10.5 +53 for the isf).. But u should see the front concavity of the ISF wheels, much better than the C63.
Can't swap them cuz different bolt pattern. Lol

^ Damn. Because 10.5'' wide in the rear is where it is at for the C
