! It does not look bad at all w/o it lowered.. !

45 offset, correct ?
Yep these were 45 offset all around which I was really happy with. Very glad I went with 45 over the other common 35 option.

And yeah, depends on the look you like but I prefer a very stock looking suspension, so I'm glad I havent lowered it. my old C300 used to bug me all the time at stock height, but this one with these wheels doesnt worry me at all.

Alright great. I ordered today with the 45 offset..
They assured me as well that the 45 offset is the best to keep a stock look and suspension, which is exactly what I'm looking for.

Also ordered Pilot Sport A/S 3.. Should be a good combo.
Front: 245/35/19
Rear: 275/30/19

Just hoping I do not get any type of alignment issues after the swap :/

The only thing I noticed after putting them on was that the car tracked ruts in the road way worse. Like needing to keep your arm on the wheel all the time, worse.. But after a couple days I didnt notice it much

I'm sure less than 1% of replica rims have had issues like that.
If you want oem go to the dealer..

Most OEM wheels are made by the aftermarket wheel companies. I know BBS makes quite a few oem wheels for BMW and AMG
