So I've left the Audi fold coming out of an s3 saloon, cancelled the two-seater coupe I had a deposit down for (new baby boy), and into a c63 coupe in Grey with black pack / premier pack etc...very excited!

Due to pick up on 1st Sept.

Better learn how to drive!

The car I ordered (to get a good deal) comes with the silver 18 inch standard AMG wheels and I'm about the buy the black 19/20 wheels and tyres instead (they are eye wateringly expensive but essential for me).

Two questions:

-Does anyone have the c63 wheels I'm looking for, for sale?

-I need to dispose of my new wheels and tyres, I can't post in the correct forum yet, any ideas? Ebay?

They are all new and can be picked up from the dealer directly...though someone might want to swap with winter tyres/comfort etc?

Thanks all in advance and looking forward to joining the MB world.

lovely ! - If you can afford to do so would suggest keeping the original wheels and then putting winters on when needed. When I had my E63 and did this - made winter driving a lot easier smile

Welcome to the fold! I love my C63...hope you got a good deal.

I’ve got the 19/20 wheels and they look great, they actually looks like Porsche centre lock
alloys....

Second the above post - I’m now hunting for spare 18” alloys to use with winter tyres (which you will need, even more so than with the M3), I’m finding that getting winter tyres with different sized front and rear alloys is not entirely easy....

Hi Jon,

Thanks for replying, your car looks incredible with those alloys, I love the way the large wheels give the back to front sloping forwards look.

I cannot wait to get into the car!

Re you looking for the spare 18's...would you like mine in the picture?! They're going to be brand new at the dealership unused and neither I nor the dealer are quite sure what to do with them. I was thinking ebay. You will have fresh summer tyres which I guess won't be useful but I suppose I could sell those separately.

The black alloys as a stand alone purchase are costing me an absolute fortune (like, stupid money) so anything I can get to offset that would be welcome.

Maybe pm me?
