OP, first off, good choice design wise. most here are correct, cases like this, you get what you pay for, although some are luckier than the other.
id suggest invest on a pricier but more quality oriented wheel manufacturer. imagine yourself wearing a nice Armani suit then $35 shoes from Target.

'13 C63
As usual everyone fear mongering about ebay wheels without probably ever having owned a set, I am surprised the infamous bbs replica wheel pic has not surfaced yet.
I had the OEM multispokes on my C63 and they cracked so easily due to the ****ty roads here in NYC. I was NOT going to pay 150 a wheel to fix those cracks when they were going to just crack again. Keep in mind these were OEM wheels that cracked.
I got these replica 507 wheels for my C63 as replacement, must have put 15k miles on them since July. The sizes were 19x8.0 and 19x9.0 et 35 with 235/235/19 and 255/35/19 p zero summer tires lowered on h&r coilovers. Fits fine but the rear has stretchy look which I do not like.
I drive my car everywhere and have hit TONS of potholes. The roads here in NYC are beyond trash and compare to roads in rural remote Iran and i bought these wheels just to see how long they will last. With that being said, after 15k miles more than half a year I have tested these wheels as much as I can. One wheel has very slightly bent but that is my fault, i hit a raised manhole cover at 80 on the BQE and slightly bent the outside lip, total cost to fix $75 NBD and best of all NO CRACKS or any other bends. That slight bend is so little I didn't even notice it and don't even feel it while driving.
I doubt your roads are worse than NYC, I think you should go for these wheels. i paid only around 800 mine came with no tires, I reused the stock tires from my oem 19s.
Hope this helps

Do you have the original listing/site where you bought these? I'm dying for the 507 wheels. Honestly I don't trust myself investing in a super nice set until I understand what it's like to be running low profile. I've been in an '06 supercharged Range for the last 5-6 years and I smoke potholes in Chicago at like 80mph all the time. If you could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

I always played the game where you try and hit as many as possible and the loser has to buy new tires.

There are plenty of wheels for sale HERE ON THE BOARD, both from reputable vendors and private individuals. While this was not the case ten years ago, these days Ebay is the online Walmart / Dollar Store equivalent... in other words, full of junk. I would never buy a set of wheels from Ebay, and by extension attempt to sell a used set of my own wheels there.

Just be careful....I bought wheels from a member here and he F---d me.
Promised me OEM MINT wheels and sent me all cracked wheels, repaired and repainted wheels, fake wheels. Then disappeared.
I lost, he gained, lesson learned, karma to be delivered hopefully...

That's why you only use paypal and pay the PP fees.
