2012 W204 Mercedes C63 AMG - Introduction

Hello MBworld,

I have been a long time follower of the forum but finally got my own AMG and would like to introduce her and I.

I just purchased a new-to-me 2012 W204 C63 AMG, Diamond White Metallic, Classic Red Nappa Leather with LSD, lighting and multimedia packages. She’s completely stock (for now).

I am in love with her so far and have already wrapped the frame of the grill 507 style gloss black and amber side markers pearl white. I also got a P31 carbon rear spoiler waiting to be installed and looking into W205 black Cross Spoke wheels or 507 style wheels with the proper offsets. Does anyone have any expertise with these wheels and what the fitment and experience (rub?) is like on a non-lowered car?

I came from a BMW E90 Factory BMW Performance modified 330i 6MT Pre-LCI MTech Euro conversion and am partial to BBS wheels with aggressive fitment (pics below). I’m looking forward to studying and networking with those on this forum with your expertise and experience with the W204 LCI platform.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome and congrats! Looks like you snagged one that came with all the good packages. There's TONS of wheel choices and offsets, it just depends on how aggressive you want to go. Check out the The Official C63 AMG Picture Thread, it has a lot of info/offsets as well.

Welcome! I’m also new here and have already found the forum to be a valuable source of info.

In my opinion, the forum doesn’t have as much volume/activity as some of the BMW forums I’m coming from (E60 and E46) and but I guess that’s to be expected given that these cars seem to be a little less common.

I have been on the E46/e90 forums for years to, that community is very active and probably a lot more cars out there, also a lot more to talk about going wrong I guess too, these cars have a few well documented problems, but overall pretty reliable compared to my e46 and 335i.
