C63 AMG
I spoke with Sonic Tuning the other day. The Renn Motorsports are legit. They are extremely lightweight for a flow formed wheel and are awesome in in the styling dpmnt.
They are on backorder at this time until November, but you can pre-order and get a hell of a deal on them!
I am contemplating pulling the trigger on a set myself.
Obviously BBS is a great name, but you can buy 3 sets of the Renns for the cost of one set of the CH's. No brainer to me, plus the Renns look way better!
Call Sonic man, great group of guys and really knowledgeable on the C63 platform.
The CF10's are awesome in styling as you can get a pretty aggressive (for the C anyway) offset and achieve a small amount of concavity with them. Having said that, if I had to pick between the Renns or the CF10's I would go with Renns as the pre-order sale is a killer deal if buying new.

BBS CH-R in gunmetal would be my choice. BBS reputation is made & quality is top notch. The CH-R are not that expensive.

I'm going to mirror what VaclavSV said, don't go with Forgestars. I have a set of the CF10's and I love the way they look, but you will get very minimal support from them if something goes wrong.
The finish around the hub chipped off when my installer was installing the center caps. Keep in mind that the centercaps have a rubber ring around them, so it's not like they chipped off from plastic to metal contact. It was simply a case of the powdercoating not adhering to the wheel, and the pressure from the rubber ring was enough to cause the finish to bubble and chip off.
Forgestar has offered to refinish the wheel, but I would be placed in the back of the line, and would need to wait approximately 8 weeks. I waited 12 weeks for these wheels, I'm not going to wait another 2 months. They're local to me, and I though they would be willing to just let me drop off the wheel for a few days to refinish, but nope. I won't be spending another dime with Forgestar again.

The new VFF101 flow formed wheels will be released in the next month or so with C63 fitment, and should be around the $2200 range, so that's definitely a good alternative to consider.

Size and offset are required as I love BBS quality but not their sizing for the C63. The chsoen wheel would have to offer me a 10" rear with 52 or better offset.
What are the sizings offered?
