What will you guys be using for winter tires? Our 53 will be at our place in N Cal where we get a light dusting of snow for 2-3 months. I wouldn't be interested in changing tires every winter (too much risk of colat damage to wheels) and would get Pilot Sport 4 AS's on a second set of wheels. I'm imaging the new AVS 20" AMG wheels will be ~$1200 a piece so what about something like these? They look pretty sharp. Or when Michein comes out with Pilot Sport 5 AS's just keep them on all year. Thoughts?

I traditionally either used one set of all season tires or a two sets one with summer and the other with snow tires. For this car I going with summer tires only and ordered a pick-up for winter duties.

I don't clock enough miles each year, or find it necessary to drive in heavy weather, to flip tire sets twice a year. Your requirements seem similar, so you might find an all season tire with a 3MPSF traction rating a good choice. There are many to choose from, such as Michelin's CrossClimate 2, but your tire size will determine what's available.

Not driving or havnt purchased a CLE 53. But will be getting my order of new vehicle in the next week. I am in Canada and so we need winter tires. Like you, I have chosen to stay 20inch for winter this year. I went with Pirelli P Zero as it was difficult to find Michelin in the correct size. Most were out of stock.
in terms of rims, I did some research and came across Forzaa performance Group. They make forged Replica wheels. Ive read BMW and Porsche forums and people seem to like them. So I took the plunge and put in an order for a set of these. They are the 2025 CLE53/GT63 style rims, but with centre lock ( which i liked stylistically better). Will let you know once they arrive.

Those are stunning and much nicer than the MY 25 forged ones.
We are in Ottawa so too much snow to not go down to 19" for winter. Can you please let me know where you ordered those from ?

Yes of course.
This is their site. You contact them through there and they get in touch with you regarding your vehicle specs. Then they create a 3D render for you to preview before it goes into production. Then you can chose air or sea delivery.
They have a huge gallery of wheels, but if the wheel you want is not listed, they will make it for you. Thats what they did with this particular one for me.
I researched quite a bit before pulling the trigger bc I was concerned about how legit it was, but lots of posts from BMW, Porsche customers who have bought and are happy. Mine have been shipped already, so will let you know once they arrive. Looking at the site, there is also a 7 year warranty.

These look great, very similar to the AVS's, sorry if I missed it but how much for the 4?

Canada here, so a full set of winters are a must and need to drop down in size from the 20" as well.
The ones on Amazon do like nice thanks.
The AVS's look amazing especially in person and on AG
I switched my tires to the Continental Extremecontact DWS06 Plus. I know they're not winter tires but I've been running them on other cars and they've been very good to me as my all season set.

Sorry for all the questions, but as a fellow Canuck is shipping/ customs etc.. ok with them ?
Rims came in last week. There were no additional duties or taxes that needed to be paid. It was delivered to home via UPS. Only thing I paid was the original amount to retailer.
Will get the new rims installed onto tires by the end of the month.
Question, do you guys get TPMS from Benz or where do you buy them from? Also, are they universal and will TPMS monitor for W206 c300 or C43 work interchangably?
