time to mod

ok, can't leave my cars alone.

SO first off looking into new wheels.

Most likely going back and getting a set of COR forged wheels. I had a set from them on my w211 E63 and was very impressed with the build quality and look. I actually never bent a wheel which I bent three other sets of wheels on the same car.

I am also looking at their other brand Axiom which is tuner inspired wheel with race prep. Guess it means its lighter.

here is my options

Pic 1- Cor 20 inch slight concave with step lip- Its called the Encor- like the wide split 5 spoke

pic 2- Axiom- FM501- Mono block with light concave

pic 3- Axiom- AX- Ms01- 10 spoke wheel- like the look and very similar to my stock AMG wheels


what do you guys think

W212 E63
It all comes down to personal preference. But I vote for wheel #3 1st place, wheel #2 2nd place, and wheel #1 3rd place.

Cheers

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Personally, I would go for either #1 or #2. Sorry, not too crazy about #3. Are they all 20"?

How about some suggestions from us?









All of these are available in any of our configurations (straight face, concave, deep concave, monoblock) and a wide variety of color finishes. Plus we've done a few MB cars with some of these over the years, if you are interested, I'll send a few shots over as PM so we don't flood the thread.

Hey, what sizing would you want to go with? Generally forged wheels are lighter, but depends on model and size. We have a LitePack option available for some of our wheel designs where we lose some extra weight.

We got some renderings done for one customer, first is CV2 Deep Concave, second is MB1 as Dan mentioned earlier. Color finishes are more than a few, but we can advise on which to take depending on your ideas

Sure is and it is light! Check the specs sheet! With a monoblock configuration of this same wheel, it would be a pretty dope addition to the E63 in any way!
