W204 FL 19" wheels

[Lewis]

Hi guys, need some friendly advice on whether should I go for Taiwan replica or original amg rims.

Best to go for 19" or 18"? Will there be massive lost in power, rubbing issues or any other consequences if I were to choose 19". Thanks!

if no budget constraint, 18" original rims, AMG if poss.

 

19" does affect ride comfort; and tyres are exponentially more expensive.

thanks bro. Currently I have found a set 18" original AMG that is not really appealing but still better compare to stock. There is really not much choices for original AMG which I even looked into used AMG. This is why I'm struggling whether to go for 19" replica that is stunning or 18" original with no worries. Haha!

Personally prefer to use original, even if it's not AMG. And yes 19" tyres are much more expensive and ride will be come harsh. Your FC will be greatly affected too. That's unless you are using Advan....If not in a hurry, look around. Sometimes got good lobang. Try to visit more tyre shops. Forums etc...good luck

Personally I went from stock 17 to 18. A year after, I went to 19. Should be max for W204. If you are into look, 19 is best but try choosing light weight rims such as forged type. For practicality and to spend less $$$$, of coz 17 or 18 best.

Go for light weight 19" if budget allows, otherwise stick to 18". I won't recommend u to look at replicas....

Check out the Rays forged wheels G25. There's a set made for W204 C63....perfect fit & flush with staggered set up.
