Recently ordered a 2016 S63 Coupe, taking delivery in late January. Being from up north, i need a set of wheels for winter use, ordered the car with the forged 20s. What do you guys recommend for this kind of vehicle in terms of wheel brands?

Mercedes quoted $6100 for their "winter package", comes with AMG 5 spoke 19s and Pirelli Sottozero 3s, install taxes all in plus storage. I've been looking at other brands such as HRE flow form however they dont fit, and I cant justify forged wheels for winter beaters.

Came across OZ Racing Superturismo LMs, which seem to be pretty popular wheel choice for C63s. They're also significantly cheaper than Mercedes' "winter package" price (roughly $5000 all in with tires).

Are they quality wheels that wont look stupid on the S63? Am i better off sticking with the AMG 5 spoke 19s and pay a little more cash?

Thanks.

Last year when I got my S63AMG I put Pirelli Winter 240 SottoZero 2 on a basic AMG 20" wheel and got a fairly good deal at my local dealer here in Sweden.I would have preferred the same black forged wheels as I have for the summer tires, but they were both horrendously expensive and due to lack of supply, they would have been delivered in February

Not really a big deal to me since I tend to drive my car very little during winter, but i still wanted it to be fully equipped when/if i need to use since there is a law in Sweden that you have to have winter tires between december and march if the road conditions requires it (i.e. snow, ice, frost, ...)

I think you need to double check that 19" will fit on a S63

IIRC brakes need 20" for enough clearance

The dealer sent me that package after II gave them the specs of the vehicle. My S63 does not have the carbon ceramics equipped so I think that's the reason it does fit the 19s.

I wanted the OEM cast 20s that came with the S63, but they said it wasn't available for a winter package and that 20s were less effective in the snow?

Cast 5 star from S AMGs?

I still have mine, I never got around to selling them, are you in NY
