Aftermarket wheels that fit CCB?
Looking to get aftermarket wheels for my C63S coupe and have been told by Vossen that none of their wheels would fit/clear my carbon ceramic brakes except for their full forged series which run $12k+. Any ideas on wheels that could fit the CCB but still be reasonably priced?
im looking to run the same 19/20 staggered setup with a little more aggressive offsets for flush fitment. Also looking for polished/brushed silver finishes

Pretty much all cheap aftermarket wheels are cast or flow formed. They are heavier and thicker in order to have the same strength as a lighter and thinner forged wheel and leave less clearance for the brakes as a result. The OEM 19/20 wheels are forged, so why would you wanna downgrade your wheels in the first place?

If you already have the optional RXC (GTR looking) lightweight wheels seriously keep those and add spacers. They are one of the lightest forged wheels out there.

I do not track my car and have no intention to do so. Its kind of daily driven and for what I do with it, the rotary flow forged wheels do the trick and cost me 2200 shipped to my house. I put on some new rubber and I was 3500 all in. They fit over my CCB brakes without spacers and no rubbing. The brand and specs are in my signature.
I used one of the vendors on here and they were great. So far so good. I love the look; they function the way they are supposed to up to this point and I have had no issues.
I'm not sure if I would have done this if it wasn't for the damage to all 4 of my OEM wheels. I happen to like the look of the stock forged wheels, but it is nice standing apart from the rest from time to time.
