BBS CH-R 20" Anyone?
Having a hard time finding pictures of the CH-Rs on the BS. WOuld love to do a 19" BBS wheel, but seems there arent any good fitments for us 
I might have to suck it up and go 20" . Has anyone done it, any really adverse effects on the wonderfully setup balance the car has now?

I wouldn't put a cast wheel on the CLK BS unless they were for a dedicated winter set. Higher-end cast wheels are roughly 5-6 pounds heaver in those sizes.
FYI, HRE also offers a new FF01 series which is cast if you are stuck on the lower price points of cast wheels.

I can't say the same about some forged wheels from 2 bit manufacturers. Just wanted to say that Forged vs. Cast isnt a simple black and white decision. You are correct, it is the unfortuate truth that the BBS CH is a heavy wheel for a cast wheel, no way around that, but BBS just doesnt offer any other wheels with the correct fitments for us.
