HRE took precise measurements before cutting the wheels. In fact you can fit 11" rim's on the rear. That's one advantage of utilizing HRE for wheel applications. They design wheels that fit precisely with the best offsets and performance in mind. Tire rack can't offer this custom feature. I have asked them for years to carry HRE products. I get tires from them also. HRE has a complete tire inventory and fit wheels and tires at their factory before going into production on a wheel. I often get new models of exotic cars. I go to their factory so they can take measurements. Their chief designer Chad, has specialized tools to take measurements. I think 20's would be a big mistake. The verdict on the PS-2's is not in yet. Corsa's are strong but Michelin's are a great tire and tend to be a few pounds lighter in the Cup series.
They really give you good feedback. PS-2's are a good safe choice for a street tire for rain and bad weather. Best regards, Steve

It's getting alignment and lowering Wed. I have the Renntech software. Think I should put Barabus / sorry Brabus badge on it ? It gives me 5 mph on top end ! Don't get me started ! On a serious note, there is a good reason I have it on there. Hartmut is a friend and client. Steve

HRE C-90 Wheels
The wheels are the same dia. as stock 19" but wider. The tires are the same dia. as stock but wider. It's just a design charcteristic. The stock monoblock spokes attach to the outer rim from the hub. The C-90's have a deeper dish. The stock wheels are well made and a hi quality piece. I don't care for the spokes. HRE are the real deal in person and don't look small for the car. The Black would perform better with 18" wheels. Maybe someone should use 18" monoblocks. They would have an edge in braking performance and acceleration. Steve

Yeah, I agree from the pictures the wheels do look small, but like you said, it is a design characteristic. The lip looks like it curves inward to meet the spokes, rather than the spokes extending all the way to the lip, which would make the wheels look like a full 19". As it is now they look like 17" or so, but in person I'm sure they look fine.

Looks great! But that Renntech badge on the rear needs to go. I dont care if you own Renntech, its just not the place for it. It needs to either replace the AMG badge or go. It looks so added on just sitting under the AMG badge. And personally i would never touch that AMG badge since it specific for the black series
