For the 2021 c63s amg coupe, I'm seeking opinions based on experience, with which black forged wheels are best? By "best", I'm referring to A) most durable, B) less likely to crack/deform if the tire pressures aren't exactly right, C) best handling, D) best looking. Also, I'm a newbie, but are both of these wheels considered "center-locking"? If the cross-spoked is center-locking, but the twin 5-spoke is not, is there an advantage to one over the other from a center-locking standpoint??
Thank you all in advance for your feedback!!!

No center lock on anything, all same bolt pattern and they just have a center cap hiding the 5 bolts. You already know from the other thread which version is more prone to damage. Both versions are pretty light compared to none-forged OEM. You will not recognize any difference in driving performance between the two (unless you are professional driver who may be able to detect 2lbs different in wheel weight). So, comes down to your taste. The cross-spoke are pretty popular and highly regarded even used. The twin spoke are less common to see.
