Got the C43 sedan, selenite, with the 5 spoke AMG 18 rims on it right now. I am looking into keeping those for winter and getting a set of rims for the summer.
There seem to be many options out there, but every website I go to has a different way of selecting them, sometimes impossible (like Tirerack) and it's a pain to go through all the options! Tirerack presents me with only 4 19 in options "for my car".
I looked on the forum and everybody says one needs to pay a high price for good rims. Would there be anything wrong with going with a $750 Konigs, just like these: https://www.carid.com/konig-wheels/o...-17194760.html?
Here's a list with a few options I selected, if you have any suggestions or advice, I'm open:
I have 19" NICHE® MISANO on my C43 Coupe and they look OK..
I also have 20" NICHE® TARGA on my Genesis and not happy with the quality at all..
Avoid VERDE® AXIS, absolute crap. I had them on my Genesis Coupe
I have Niche as well, like NYCSoiL. Although my model according to niche has been discontinued i've had them on my previous e class coupe for a couple years and now on my c43. They've held up pretty well, considering i'm on 20's with both 30 series tires front and back. I could've sworn some of the potholes i've hit would've definitely bent one or two of the rims, but surprisingly none at all! I am meticulous on checking my tire pressures though, at least 2x a week and right after i hit some big ones.
Ok, thanks, it seems that not all less expensive aftermarket rims are crap, as some people tend to say in other threads.
Thanks for the info and for the specific examples, it helps eliminating some things on the list like the Verde.
Weird, I knew Konigs were good, but at under $750 a set they are the lowest price on the list, and I like the way they look, I wonder about the quality.
Yep, checked some things, at least the website narrows the selection quite a bit once I enter the car type. On the other hand, going from 18 to 19 should give me enough clearance for the calipers... I'll make sure to do my research before I buy.

It's not just the inner barrel of the wheel but the width of the caliper and if the spokes are friendly to fitting around the caliper.
