Where can I find OEM quality aftermarket wheels?

Specifically sizes that can fit 19" 295 rear and 19" 255 front.

I can't speak to the C43, but those sizes are a no-go on a W204 C63. Probably 245 / 275 19 max imho.

I'm planning for a "black series" widebody kit and they rate it for 295 rears 255 fronts. I'm assuming the stock wheels can't fit those sizes so I'll need new wheels to go with the widebody kit. If that's the case, I don't want to compromise the quality of my wheels considering I've seen and heard some horror stories with aftermarket.

It's not listed on their website (https://www.tuning-empire.com/merced...-body-kit.html) but this is a screenshot of their quote they emailed me:

Ah.... well that's a different animal. Then I think those sizes work and you might even be able to jump up one more in the back, but I'm out of my league on this. Others here will know. As to wheel quality, this is something I've been researching and I've yet to find a solid answer. I hope you get some good feedback on this and I would not rush into buying until you are 100% comfortable. I'm not familiar with the brand in the link, but they have some really nice looking wheels and forged is where you want to be.

Thanks for the info, I know extremely little when it comes to wheels so any little bit helps. I won't be starting the widebody project for a while but I like to plan long in advance to get as much info as I can before making such a significant change to the car. I want to make sure it's done right and to either OEM or higher standards.

Built 2008 G55 & one big 80 Series LandCruiser !
With my HMS rear flares I run a 325 for DD'ing - 345 for track /speed events.... 255 fronts. Rims are Forgestars for both setups built to spec 9 " fronts / 11" rears. No rubbing on stock suspension. The HMS fitment was excellent -using oem BS liners. Are you going to do the whole kit ?

Very beautiful C63!
Mostly, yes. Debating if I wanna keep original hood or go with the vented hood and other small things like that. I still have time to decide. Thanks a lot for the info!
