Wheel weights???
Ok I'm really starting to learn this car and now that she's broken in (approx1100 miles) I want to line up a set of new wheels for the spring. The rear traction is pathetic with 265 out back. My new set of wheels must have function and performance first. In order to do so I'm researching wheel weights first.
19" oem split 5 spoke weight? (front & rear)
19" oem cross spoke forged? (front & rear)
Then compare to something like 19" hre ff01 flow forms for example.
I think a 255/35 19 up front and 285/30/19 out back??? My cls550 had that setup and I liked it a lot. Save some weight, increase strength, and of course look good.

I cannot give you specifics, but you will shave at least 3lbs per wheel going FF. But this could make your problem worse.
My E63 makes so much torque, that my forged monoblock wheels just kept spinning with my PSS. I switched back to low pressure cast, and gained my traction back... With PSS again.
If you run 285-30 in the back, this will help, however if you are hoping to run PSS, you'll have to settle for run flat as its the only option. If you don't lower your C63 too much, you'll be able to squeeze a 295-30-19 on there. (Depending on offset of your setup)

I can't see the lighter wider wheel sacrificing traction. Tire compound may have been the culprit in your traction issues. Anyone acutally weigh the wheels? For all th wheel vendors in this site I'm sure someone has these values --- please post them for reference.
