Thanks D&G,
The issue you will run into finding aftermarket wheels that are not forged is that the mass market consideration of companies that make them. They always try to maximize the compatibility of every application and 10.5 unfortunately is limited to a couple of cars that can run that.
Just trying to give you an insight on the factors that drive wheel sizes.
Thanks,

E350 4matic, F430
I am have a E350 4matic so I am interested in the wheels I'm just not sure if I can run a staggered set up or if I have to have a square set up.
Hi mah_hai,
I can pull up the order on that CLS. Do you have one of those and you are interested in these wheels on it?

Hi mah_hai, some people like to maintain the stock setup for 4matics while some people like to run staggered.
Here is a bit of a discussion on the subject: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...res-setup.html
Bottom line, as long as you maintain the same outside diameter of the tire you are fine.
Hi **JAY-V**,
Unfortunately we only have them in the gun machined face finish. If you wanted them powdercoated hopefully our low prices still leave some room to get them customized the way you want them.

Anyone purchase and take delivery on these wheels? How are they?
I've got $8/$9K wheels on my other cars but don't need forged wheels or high end designs on my E550 as my wife drives it mostly and she kills wheels
But that said I still want to make sure these are at least OEM quality.

Hey ZeroMB,
Thank you for the interest. You are welcome to do a search on this forum for powerwheels pro to get some feedback on the quality of our wheels.
Our factory also has OEM production so the wheels benefit from the additional production controls in place, including 100% x ray inspection, balancing check among others.
Thank you

Pictures of the Style 823 that I purchased from Vasilli last week. These are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 staggered with 45mm offset.
I had to go with 255/35 and 285/30 for the tires because America's Tire wouldn't install anything else (no tires/brands hit Mercedes' requirement of a 97 load rating at 245/35 and 275/30). I was worried the fronts would be too fat but if you look at the pictures, it actually looks fine. Of course I did go with the Hankook Ventus v12 Evo tires which apparently don't run as fat.
The car has NOT been lowered yet as you can tell by the gap. I'm trying to decide whether to do something about it as outside of Vaeth, there are no spring kits made for a 4matic E350/E550 and no coilover options either. My buddy thinks we can mix and match a kit using two springs from a E350 Airmatic Wagon kit and two from a E350 non-4MATIC kit but I guess we'll see.
Also provided a side view to show the offset. It is pretty flush.
Lastly the ride quality is fine. Didn't really feel a difference going +1 and I did not expect to.

Thanks! I've done HREs, ADVs, and other high end forged wheels on my other cars at over $2K/wheel. But I have to say these are not bad for the $699/set price.
They look great but still have an OEM-style to them. They came with a great job on the finish. And they gave me an opportunity to go +1 without shooting myself if my wife accidentally curbs them
Oh and shipping was quick. Thanks Vasilli!

Those 823's look great on the white E. I have been thinking about those for my white CL and seeing them on your E as well as hearing that you are satisfied with the quality of them is a big help. Thanks for posting the pics!

Zero MB your car looks amazing! Thank you for posting pics, I love how nicely the wheels line up with the fenders.
The finish really makes the car look sporty while maintaining the OEM look.
Enjoy them

Do you have S65 AMG reps available? I don't see them offered on the website, but I'd love to get a set like in the picture below:
