Updated: Got CCW C10 Forged Monoblock Wheels on My C63 AMG

Headed down to CCW HQ/ Factory in Daytona Beach today to pick up my CCW C10 wheels powder coated in hyper silver (18X8.5 & 18X9.5 w/ 275 Super Sports out back!). John, the owner of CCW, really gives folks great customer service.

The wheels are on and the ride is fantastic! I must have shaved more unsprung weight than I thought I would because everything seems more responsive-braking, turning and the gas pedal. It really feels different in a good way.

The wheels look great in person. They are much more silver than the pics (the 3rd from the bottom is closest to the real color). The center caps are being engraved and will be on soon. Here are some pics of the new wheels with 3 disclaimers: pics taken with a cell phone (+photoshop help), super dirty car, no center caps.

My 5 year old son liked the factory...

Thanks. They've probably done a few E55's and can get you the right fitment without heading to the factory. I happened to live pretty close by so I went there in person. I'd guess 99.9% of their sales don't involve a factory visit.

I got her washed and snapped a few more pics with my iphone...

I love the fit and finish. I, personally, would have gone a more aggressive looking route. That said, I think it's well done.

Don't go and confuse the "bling is king" crowd with actual logic and reasoning!

Nice, sound choice of wheels that actually improve both ride and handling over any 19+" combo.

I see your point with them and they more than get the job done. Very race ready looking. Great wheels for sure and very original. Big thumbs up.
