i've seen those rohanas in person and from purely just the looks of all those wheels you have, i would go rohana.

however the one thing that irks me about the rohanas are that the spokes dont reach the lip. it actually angles inwards and there is a gap between lip and spoke that i personally cant get over.

Is that sunglasses holder where the grab handle is?

sunglasses holder is a functional and awesome mod it's around 30bux up here in canada

and cool, the rohanas are quite excellent, and at a fantastic value ( i think one of your hres can buy an entire set lol). but that pic of them is misleading, the gap irl is closer to an inch.. which is too bad as the rest of the wheel is amazing. i think those are only in 20s too i think.

to op, another choice is to go for forgestar cf10 if you like the 10ish spoke look at a reasonable price.

Googled and found that somebody in here did it already. I found the part on e-bay germany shipped for like $32 and that's it. It was an easy install. Just it's not that deep...my glasses barely fit in there but it does the job.

You know i am still considering those wheels too, but i hate the 6-8 weeks build time and was trying to get new wheels by Christmas....
Actually, my favorite wheel that i would do w/out questions, is the OEM 19" 16 multi spoke in matte black with the polished edge, but they are crazy expensive from the stealer and can't find them privately..

That's almost the same build time for HREs when they're busy. Just get what you want and don't worry about the time frame.

there's no need to order it from ebay. Just ask your parts dept for this part number:

A 204 810 00 41 9051

Install is pretty simple.

i hear what you mean about build time. i was all ready to go with the cf10s as well but when i wanted to order, i was looking at a 3 month wait. that would've ate heavily into the summer months. ultimately i lucked out and got rennen m10s instead

Those are very nice too. Did you have to wait for them to be built?
Can i find those available anywhere within a reasonable time? 7-10 days or so?
19" or 20" ?

Don't judge a book by it's cover. All very nice looking wheels however the engineering is more important. Are they forged or cast? How much do they weigh? What dimension are they available in and what is the offset? What is your intended use (street, track, or both)? Are they actually made in house or is the production subcontracted out?

I vote Rohana too. The Carlsson design seems busy, but I think it works well, so it's my second choice.

This may sound weird, but the 7 spoke AMG wheel from the non-C63 sport plus package is actually pretty nice in person. Check it out.

TWS Interlagos, cheap, and they look awesome. Weight is very good too.

Renntech has some nice wheels for the C63.

Can't beat the stock 19" multispokes

Wald makes pretty much the exact same wheel in 19s/20s. They are abit on the narrow side so not the best choice for C63s.

http://www.wald.co.jp/parts_acce/whe...1/gallery.html

Not sure if the OEM 7 spokes are 18s or 19s.
