Wheels! Let's See Your Opinions!

Hey guys! So... I've always been huge on wheels, I think the stock wheels are beautiful on this car, but knowing me, before I know it I'll want wheels, here's what I'm considering, and I want your opinions, or even ideas. Looking for 20", 10 spoke, smoked machine faces, chrome lips.

ADV10's - I understand their quality isn't worth the cost, but this wheel looks so damn sexy, I also understand that they weigh a ton. Double thumbs down.



HRE-563R's - Great quality and weight comes from these guys, they are wheel legends, but... this design is so outdated in my opinion, and it looks cheap, I looked them up on google, and they just don't look aggressive.



Vorsteiner-VS360's - Haven't heard much about their wheel quality, I don't know if I can trust them enough, just on the fact that they make quality body kits, and accents. Beautiful wheel nonetheless.

I would go HRE>Vorsteiner>ADV for the reasons you stated.

CHeck out HREs monoblock P series. Beautiful and light. Not cheap...

My two favs:

P101:


P104:


Also check out Klassen ID. Made in Cali, forged, light. Vic55 likes his.

My fav M52R: This would be my purchase:



M55 is nice and closer to stock:

I'm trying to order M52Rs, and they are telling my wheel guy they are discontinued. Anyone else have any luck?

Not a big fan of the 3 piece look with the bolts. Too busy for me. More of a monoblock fan.

I did these Vossen wheels 2 months ago. Simple and nothing crazy expensive

I got lucky with these and the way they look on the vehicle, it's real hard to pick a set of aggressive wheels for the Eclass

Car was rubbing originally but after the 3 mm taken of i put my kid with the wife in the back seat and full trunk of crap and it is perfect. No rubbing and also if i stayed with 285 which I didn't want I would not have to mill the wheels but I put 6k on these wheels so far and no problems. The car is not lowered.

looks pretty good, nice to keep that side wall instead of going to a 30 section in front and a 25 in the rear as most people with 20s do. ... but as u know your rolling diameter is a little bigger than stock, so not sure if that really play into affecting the cars performance

i know the weistec black E has 255 35 and 295 30 Mich PSS with 20s and they had to do alot of fender work to keep it from rubbing. Its lowered with their own brand front spring and they say the rear levels out per the cpu automatically....

I really cant tell the difference on the performance, I have the Renntech tune but I don't go to a track and I think only I the track I would find out the difference.
Also on the stock wheels I have painted them black and did 295 on the rear Michelin Super Sports without any issues

I would never put vossens on a performance car, they are not the best of quality, and definitely won't give you the performance, cast wheels are a no-no for me when it comes to sports cars, I really like the HRE S101's too, I think the car can pull it off, opinions?
