What do you think about these rims?

Hello I want to get these rims for my CL55 amg, has anyone had experience with this brand? I was originally gonna get niche cast rims but they are very heavy so rotary forged is a bit lighter. I am not gonna make my car a track beast so I don't really need super light rims. Also I live in Miami and the roads are pretty good.

Making this post because a friend of mine told me they are **** and will break on me and for me to get 10k forged rims but I dont see the logic in getting such expensive rims for a car that is worth less then that, and I wont really be tracking just 1/4 mile from time to time.

I really like the look of them that rotational thing they do, I think with some lowering links for the abc it will be very good looking.

I’ve had stance sf07 on my car for 8 months and so far so good. I’m in the northeast with terrible roads and they’ve held up well. I think rotary forged is a good in between for folks who want something stronger/lighter than cast wheels but not trying to spend $$$ on forged

I'm running Stance SC6 wheels. They're full cast so the line you're looking at would be a step up. No complaints other than they are a bit heavy. I did order a new set of wheels though.

They look good....
however I'm a bit OCD on the way those 'directional' style wheels look different on each side of the car.

I would see why, but I actually like how the rear is more concave then the front.

Wait what do you mean looks different?

As I said previously, It's probably only me, but this style of wheels with the spokes sweeping at an angle look 'different ' on opposite sides of the car.
The image you posted shows the spoke on the top of the wheel sweeping backwards from the centre outwards whereas if that wheel was mounted on the other side of the car the top spoke would show as sweeping forward.

i reckon some Lorinser RS8's would look awesome on your car. This is a friend of mine's CL with the RS8 on. I have been considering them for my E55 too

On the other side you're supposed to mount them so they match, so they both sweep the same way. Maybe I am wrong but idk to me they mount the same
Pic of the other side on a different car:

Pretty sure they are cast. The 2 piece version, LM6 might have been forged though.

i am having trouble deciding which way to go myself. The wheels i really like are forged 3 piece but run at $1k per wheel. with the exchange rate into Aussie dollars, that makes them $1.4k each. then it's another $650 Aussie dollars to ship them over... i'm trying to find nice flow formed wheels that will not break the bank now...

Yeah for these cars I think its too much money, The ones I am getting are rotary forged and the rear ones are 22lb which is pretty light compared to the cast wheel. Also unless you are purposely hitting pot holes even cast wheel should be fine but I would go with rotary forged the barrel is forged and the face is cast.

I live in a rural area. Potholes are a fact of life...

Car had aftermarket 20's on it when i bought it and after destroying three tyres, i decided to swap a bloke for some 18's off an E500. been planning to go to 19's ever since and only now have managed to salt away enough money to buy something decent.
