Vossen Precision Series (VPS) had its worldwide debut at “Automechanika” in Frankfurt in September and industry response was overwhelmingly positive with countless praise on the new one piece forged wheel lineup from Vossen. At SEMA we will showcase 9 different styles of wheels sized 22×12 showing maximum concave ability. We will continue to push concave wheels to the forefront with the new VPS line in some stunning new styles as well as evolutions of the classic Vossen style.

Holy moly...that is nothing short of perfect. The blacked out trim makes the car I think. Wonder if they pulled it all off and powder coated, or what...
Those wheels look incredible. My early impression of asthestics on my BS is that it could use wider/more wheels. Its most pronounced in the front because of the huge fenders.

Definitely form over function... owning a C63 BS I would never put 20 inch wheels on this car. The car is a race car from the factory and is not what one would call a "typical" AMG. The C63 BS is a sports car first IMHO---which can not be said for almost all other AMGs...
It does look pretty good- but the wheels are too big or is it the photos?

fair enough about performance for the track, etc....but I think that they look awesome...and I think the 19s look a little small for the car, especially up front with the huge fender lip...
if we are talking drivability, i still wish they had engineered the car with more grip in the back, it needs steam roller widths back there but doesnt get them...yes a bit better than the standard c63, but still very squirly.... fun, yes, but squirly

I agree about the rear but the 60% lockup diff does its job for the most part... you could do a Rage and put 295 PSS's on there but its too much tire for a 9.5 inch wheel.

20's do look awesome and totally fits the car, but my problem with 20's + rubber band tires is that the wheels gets absolutely bent to **** over bad roads. You're also very limited in what tires you can run with 20's too.

home the point
Squirly? The C63BS is anything but "squirly" ... well balanced, really easy to drive with plenty of rear end grip ... even if you put 355's in the back ... wont make much of a difference ... without heat in them, they'll do nothing. Besides, keeping the heat in "steamrollers" is a real challenge on public roads.

I really don't like the look of theses - they're just a little too concept-y & don't flow well with the lines of the car. And 20s are fine on the BS - ride isn't compromised & PSSs handle the car fine.
