Help John pick out new wheels.

I need new wheels people and I narrowed down to Monarch Euro 63RS in 19x8.5" front, 19x9.5" rear or 19" version of the 18" CL63 wheel.

Monarch Euro 63RS comes in 2 different colors. Anthracite/silver, polished lip, or matte black spoked, polished lip.

I voted the 19" CL63 style wheels. Question though, those are aftermarket replicas? Or OEM options?

The CL63 wheels I'm looking at are replicas. The stealerships want $4500 for the real deal. That's insane.

I'm leaning towards the Monarch Euro 63's(which are deep dished versions of the E63 wheels) in Anthracite. I like that deep dish look in the back.

I actually figured that this being on I-Club might be a bit more unbiased but it turns out, Impreza owners don't like deep dish! Boo.

The C63 on the CL63 wheel picture does do alot for seeing how badass they look.

Future mods are going to be: Dry CF+Glossed Brabus Bullit grille($$$$$$)
and CF front lip!

CL63.....the rivets or allen bolts don't look right on the Mercedes.

Not too sure if this decision came based off the fact that our "other" car is RWD. But, I personally voted for the Monarch Euro 63 Noir wheel. I have always loved the dish look, and I also like rivets too. It's a little hard to tell from the photos if the Anthracite color is the best choice. Normally I like anthracite w/polished lips, but for some reason, I like the flat black look of the Noir edition ones better. And I think they'd look hot on your ride.

Silver keeps the car looking VIP and Classic
Black makes it look more Racer.

I love the look too of the Monarchs rims, but they are a little on the heavy side and it makes a difference...Unless you are getting a C63 AMG then it wont matter too much...

tire rack has a sale on some rims too unless you are getting your rims from EBAY...then their prices are not too bad.

Brandon: I was initially leaning towards the noirs but kept thinking that the black on the noirs and palladium on car won't match.

Abakja1: I think their weight isn't as extreme as others but my 17" AMG wheels aren't light either.

If not the Noirs, I'd go with the first option. I'm not a big fan (personally) of wheels without a lip that's why. Doesn't have to be 7" VIP style, but I just don't really care for wheels that the spoke goes all the way to the edge of the wheel.

Is that kind of like the last picture?

I like the final choice...I dunno that other one obviously looks expensive and eye-catching but not very clean.

I thiink it's the rivets around the edge and the brokenness of the spokes.
