You want to do a BS body kit, but want affordable wheels? Have you even looked into how expensive it is to do a black series swap?

Endorsed.
15K + for a real deal conversion and you cheeping out on the wheels!. There are a lot of nice replica manufacturers that make pretty wheels. Im sure one of the vendors can assist you.

For $1600 a set, I would look into some Niche Sport Lines, Concept One Wheels, Avant Garde, maybe even VMR wheels.

FYI not many wheels with the BS look: Rennen M10, Forgestar CF10, HRE P43SC as far I know.
If you have the budget for a BS conversion you should have it for the wheels as well. So my choice would be HRE P43SC.

The S101's are bad *** on the C63BS as well. but around 10K a set.
The black series deserves a quality wheel, You have the fenders to tuck 305's with ease!

If I had a sub-$20K budget for a project like this I'd buy Forgestar CF10's (or equivalent) and even after the best tires be in it only for about $3,500. Do the body kit right. $10K wheels and tires can wait. The bang for the buck at the lower end of the quality wheel market is tailor made for your apparent budget.

Very valid points, I agree with you whole heartedly.
There are definitely decent quality entry level brands. However, no one ever said he should purchase 10K wheels.

Yeah...I left out the "in" as "10K in wheels and tires." Any forged monoblocks (HRE-ish level of quality) + wide PSS + mounting + tax these days is going to be around $10K, I'd think.

With a BS conversion, and if you are keeping the C class axle... it will be extremely hard to find a set of wheels "off the shelves" that will fit flush to your liking.
You almost need a custom offset which is not cheap.
But who knows you might get lucky & find something ready to go & add spacers if needed.

SEMI CONCAVE
19"
19x8.5 offsets from +14 to +52
19x9.0 offsets from +20 to +60
20"
20×8.5 offsets from +10 to +50
20×9.0 offsets from +16 to +56
21"
21x9.0 offsets from +0 to +42
21x10 offsets from +13 to +55
21x10.5 offsets from +20 to +60
21x11 offsets from +26 to +68
DEEP CONCAVE
19"
19x9.5 offsets from +2 to +42
19x10 offsets from +8 to +48
19x11 offsets from +21 to +61

20"
20×10 offsets from +15 to +55

Now I'm curious...does any other mfr offer this kind of customization at this price point? Of course, expect no hand-holding whatsoever along the way...it's Forgestar.

Oh I didn't know u could order Forgestar with custom offsets? I always had the impression they offered a chart with limited sizes/offsets combos we had to chose from.
Edit: in other words, can we call Forgestar (like we can call ADV or HRE) & order a special set for this special BS application? Like let's say 19x11 +25 rear with 66.6 Centerbore ?

But most Forgestars are going to be made to use hub centric spacers (provided of course).

No one can answer that question til u install ur custom flares & measure.
But I doubt 19x9.5 +45 will be enough to fill in the new flares.
