Forged wheel recommendation

Looking for recommendation on a forged aluminum wheel. Was thinking 20x9 front with 255/30/20 and 20X10 with 295/25/20. Wonder if that tire would be too harsh, I would also consider 19s. Any US company except HRE.

Prefer straight spokes and concave

Just curious, why not HRE? I have a set and am very happy with them.

You might consider ADV1. I ordered a set from ACG and they also have a large selection of styles. I've been happy with them.

I think you'll find the ride very harsh by dropping the aspect ratio with 20's.

I like BBS CH R's design:

They offer 20's but I went with the 19's since we have many potholes here.

I'm not one to bash a vendor without their presence. I purchased a set of their wheels, very good quality but had an issue with fitment and learned the customer service was quite poor and they really were not willing to help even after months of discussion. Not just one person I was in discussion with 3-4 people at HRE. I was surprised since prior to that heard nothing but good things. Great wheels just bad customer service.

I was thinking of ADV or the Vossen line of forged wheels. Not the flow forging like Vorsteiner and similar although I think they make a mono block forged line as well.

WoW..... Amazing rims no doubt look perfect and light weight too...
But i couldnt justify buying 12 700 australian dollar rims for an E63 amg, unless they come with a complimentary blow job.

@Renntech... what do you exactly mean with "specifically engineered and weight optimized for the 212-E63"? Are you saying that you have a wheel for the E63 and let say a C63, or a...put your favorite car model here....
What is it so special about the E63 that demands an entire set of new specs from a similar specs car?
Trying to learn and not troll just in case

Great question Astolfo. We're glad you asked.

RENNtech develops its very own fitment for each MBZ/AMG application. This includes the optimal wheel diameter, width, and offset combination. Some applications we offer two different diameters, like the E63-212 for example, which we have 19" and 20" fitments available for. These specific fitments undergo a strict FEA simulated testing and engineering process. Various application specific information is utilized during this process and long story short, determines the mass of the end product. Because of this attention to detail, a RENNtech E-class wheel will be slightly heavier and more robust than the same design for the C-class.

The primary reason for this engineering intensive process is to provide our customers with the lightest and strongest possible wheel for their specific vehicle.
