New Renn Motorsport 19" RS-51 Wheels 20lbs
#126
Really enjoying the wheels. Only wish the center caps were more attractive.
Perhaps a stupid question to follow:
I know we can get CNC Renn center caps but are there any other options that will fit this wheel set? Maybe something w/ a MB logo or some such?

vtune, beautiful wheels... really suits your car well. But ppl are right, what's up with the centercaps? It kills the look big time.
BTW, was your tire repairable? The nail looks too close to the sidewalls. You should get it replaced under warranty if they are almost new.

Renn MS has the CNC center cap as an option, and we have seen alot of people get creative with the 68mm caps.
Just an update, our warehouse only have few sets of the Satin Graphite wheels until the next shipment.

The rear tire was not repairable, had to buy another one. No discount from Falken, I was told by the shop that Michelin would have provided a free replacement.
I'm not sure why people don't like the center caps, I like them. Besides they can be swapped easily ... there are lots of designs that you can chose on ebay for $20-$30 to suite your liking.

Wheels on the way!
First of all--a huge thank you to Ray for the excellent customer service and making the whole process go smoothly.
I got 2 of my 4 wheels (Satin Graphite) delivered today--other 2 should be here tomorrow--can't wait!!
I'm sold on the Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires...but not sold on the size. I'd like some members with ACTUAL experience to chime in on this. My car is '12 Coupe lowered on H&R OEM Super Sport Springs. I'm thinking of going with the following setup:
Front: 245/35-19 (19 X 8.5" wheel)
Rear: 275/30-19 (19 X 9.5" wheel)
Unless...somebody knows for sure that this combination will rub.
Thanks advnace!

Thanks again to Ray @ Sonic Tuning!
Here are some initial "teaser" pics. Lots more to follow once all the work is done and the car is cleaned up.
Thanks!

And thanks CMC...I was going to go with the same setup as yours but the 275/30's are on national backorder, estimating about a month. So I went with the 265/35 in the rear. Love the look all the way around!

I want to thank Ray @ Sonic Tuning for some great customer service. They are great people. I messaged Ray a couple weeks ago asking how the RS-51 wheels are. Answered all my questions fairly quick. I'm a very picky person when it comes to wheel choice. Looking at all the pictures of the RS-51 wheels on the c63 sedans was still iffy for me. So I decided to take my car up to Sonic Tuning and Ray was kind enough to test fit the wheels on my car before I purchase the wheels. I want to thank Ray and the other members @ Sonic Tuning for the great service. Thank you again Ray!

Cant wait for the photo-shoot!
They're flying off the shelves quickly, that's for sure. Speak to Ray @ Sonic Tuning. Great customer service!
Despite not owning an C AMG, I do have a C204 in which I have these rims on, and they're gorgeous to say the least.
Got a few pictures to share of them, if you guys don't mind .....

Posting the link...not sure how to correctly post pics without shrinking them to thumbnails.
Ray--I'll be contacting you soon to get some "real" pics done. Thanks!

what is the may special on these wheels?
Also why don't you just post the price in the thread, having to ask for it makes me feel like I am getting ripped off. Why not just be up front and tell us what you want for them.

These vendors are all resellers of the same stuff and a quick google will show you the MSRP of these is around $1500, so I'd imagine they are discounting a little off of that.

Every vendor does this so I don't think it's fair to call out a particular vendor for doing what everyone else does. They do it because you get actual sales leads by having people take the time to write you a PM vs just seeing the price and moving on.

I wasn't meaning to "call anyone out" I have seen some vendors on this forum list prices and I see some that don't, I was more wondering why this happened. It makes me feel like you pm them and they tell you $1200 I pm them and they tell me $1300 the the next guy gets told $1250, etc. It just makes me feel like I am being ripped off that was all I was trying to say. I didn't understand what there was to hide.
At any rate I would still like to see the price on these. Also what are the exact weight front and rear please?
