Waiting ADV.1 Response....
(Updates) Carlos from Adv response this early morning and discuss the issue of the wheels and they have schedule a pickup of the wheels and promise will get it done ASAP! I'm impressed by their quick responses and working efficiency, hopefully the wheel will be done ASAP! To conclude, I might just stay with adv for my future cars!
My dealer double check the invoice plus the email between ADV1 and him, theres no mistake, it indicates clearly that it said
19in ADV15 TF (Application: 2013 Mercedes C63 Coupe)
- Brushed gunmetal centers
- Single Tint Brushed Gunmetal Lips
Here is the invoice:
Here is some of the pic to follow up:

ADV1 hoses another customer.....when are people going to learn???
Do yourself a favor and do a Google query on 360 Forged and 360 Forged ADV1 and let me know what you find out. ADV1 used to be called 360 Forged until they hosed so many people that had to change their name.
Wheels look terrible, hope they make things right but based on their past track record higly doubtful.

How did you come up with the specs you wanted the wheels to be made at? Did you have someone at ADV do it for you? Did you do it yourself and send them the specs you desired? Did the wheels come with all the specs on them?
We see that they don't fit correctly, just why?

Just figure out the dimensions and offsets and then it'll be quite clear or at least easier to break down and see what is going on.
In the mean time I'd take the wheels off. The rubbing can mess up paint and damage tires. That's what I'd do. My guess is BS offsets though.

my wife bananas! :D
definitely dont run on those wheels... keep them as new as possible to reduce a potential excuse for non refund/exchange. plus man... if i didnt know and saw your car on the street... i would be laughing all over
but talk with ADV first... let them know and give them a chance to make it right

5 Miles wont hurt a thing. 500 on the other hand could be a different story.
As for the clearance on the calipers.. The entire wheel well could be set up differently. I'm not familiar with the specs/comparisons on the hubs/calipers/discs etc between the BS and normal c63 I'm not sure.
However, if the rears were made to BS spec than the fronts would be too, and that could be all your problems right there.

Again, you'll be fine. Just be cautious of what makes you rub. Plenty of people rub quite a bit here I'm sure, but with the tire that far outside the fender I would imagine the damage increases at an exponential rate.
Good luck, let us know what happens

wow sucks to hear! The wheels look great. I had a problem with my trakfunctions also, but they took care of me (you have to be patient though). I bet they built it to the wrong offsets since they havent built this set up for a c63 before(at least your the first I saw with this style adv on a c63). Hopefully things will work out.
rubbing and spacers are not acceptable so you should contact them. (for reference, i had no rubbing on 275 for both my 18 trakfunction and 19 monoblock adv1s).

EDIT: I just spoke to ADV1 and they wanted you to reach out to them. I will PM you their contact info.
As an ADV1 dealer I am confident this will get taken care of if this is their fault. Out of curiosity, do you have an invoice from the dealer you purchased them from? Does it show the year, make, and model of your car?
Your dealer would have also received an invoice from ADV1 showing the exact specs of the wheel and for what car. The dealer than has 24-hours to make any changes or the order is automatically submitted into their queue. I show this to my customers (blacking out my costs) so that ADV1, Acute Performance, and my customers are on the same page.
EXAMPLE
Let me know if you need any help at all.

I urge everyone not to be so quick to judge on whose fault it is. Let's give ADV1 at least one business day to figure this out before we crucify them.

Looking forwards towards their response, cuz I just checked the invoice, and it clearly said 2013 C63 Coupe with standard brakes.....
