Why no BBS for C63?

[x838nwy]

Is it just me, or is there a strange lack of wheel choice for the C63? In comparison to cars like the M3, C63 users seem limited to HRE, Vossen and if you're not worried about when - if ever - you get your wheels 360. I'm a fan of BBS wheels but alas, they don't seem to make any that fit. Even Volks, as far as I know, don't either... Is it to do with a unique bolt pattern/offset or something strange on the c63?

I believe it's our high offset. Look around. There is actually quite a bit. I believe works will fit. I think a new brand "Venaci" is coming out with some? But these are usually seen more on Japanese cars. But if you like them then
Search around the c63 forums, you'll see a lotta sponsors post here and you'll find them.

Usually if there's enough demand, the wheel manufacturers will cater to the platform - since (at least historically) BMW sells more M3s than all AMG models combined, they probably didn't feel it was worth it. I know some w203 AMGs and w211 AMGs that run BBS wheels, but with hubcentric spacers to get it to work properly.

Also, don't overlook the offerings from MB specific tuning shops - Renntech has some very nice wheels, as does Kleemann.

F that. I want some LM's for my AMG. NUFF SAID...

LMs would be great, but really, you have plenty of options. ALL forged lines can make proper wheel fitment. As mentioned HRE, Vossen, 360/Forgeline as well as DPE, IForged, Maya, Vellano, Vertini, VIP Modular, Auto Couture, Lowenhart, Klassen, Enkreuz, Work, COR, Modulare, Kranson, Mandrus, etc. Even some cast/rep wheel lines like Forgestar, VMR, and MRR have fitments. BBS would be great, but there are options out there.

BBS is the OG originator. I am aware of all those brands. I have had 5 sets of HRE's on my car within this yr...But nothing screams quality like BBS.

MRR has a new w204 fitment. I called TSW and even they don't have any plans for a C63 rear fitment. I think it is the rear staggered fitment with a 50 offset that seems to be the issue and not the fronts.

I just went to the BBS site and tried the configurator ( http://www.bbs.com/en/configurator/configurator.html ) and chose the W204 and the system automatically gives you what looks to be the RS-GT in 19" and many others if you choose the overview of wheels choice once you've chosen the W204. I just don't see the LM in that overview of options.

I'm not sure if what you mean by BBS is the LM not being in your fitment but you didn't specify that in your post. Check the site link I posted and try for your self.

But out of all the BBS wheels option they have on the their site for the W204 fitment the best looking one is the RS-GT. YOU CAN EVEN LOWER THE CAR ON THE SITE.....IT LOOKS REALLY NICE. Check out the attachment also.
