Where does tuning actually begin? For many, tuning begins with a lowering or a loud sports exhaust and an increase in performance is for a large part the epitome of a tuned car. But what if we take the trouble and compare the question with a statistic? Then it turns out that in a good 70% of all vehicle owners who want to change the rims of the vehicle are replaced first. Even before classic chip tuning or lowering, new rims are the most popular tuning utensil of all, but at the same time often one of the most expensive subsequent changes.

The choice to swap the rims is understandable in my eyes, because often the rims installed ex works are not always unsightly or even ugly, the problem is that the standard rims are selected in the manufacturer's configurator and that ultimately has thousands of other buyers of a, in this case Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (type C204), also done. In addition, the wheel sets are trimmed in the direction of mainstream optics ex works and of course not very individual because they should ultimately appeal to the general public.

The repertoire of Vossen Wheels

All good reasons for a new set of wheels! What could be more obvious than looking around in the repertoire of Vossen Wheels to see if a suitable alternative to the wheelset installed ex works can be found? The owner of this white C63 AMG has taken on "the project wheelset" and swapped the standard rims for a Vossen Wheels CVT wheelset in 20 inches and the color dark gray (Gloss Graphite). If you look at the selection of rims from Vossen then it becomes clear to us why it had to be this provider! Vossen Wheels only has high quality rims in its range and an appealing selection of designs in stock.

As you can see, there was something suitable for the sporty V8 Coupe and the project could begin. In addition to the built-in and very attractive rims, the C63 AMG has received a few other changes that we are only aware of from the photos, unfortunately we have not yet received any technical details. No matter the main focus of the car is of course on the 20 inch CVT wheel set which certainly does not miss the standard rims and is an absolute asset to the AMG. The vehicle immediately looks more dynamic and sporty, which is always a plus. We took a closer look at the pictures of the vehicle and made a comparison with the production version and were able to determine one or the other change to the rims.

What we have learned directly from Vossen Wheels and have recognized ourselves, we provide you in a summary as usual below. Should you notice any further changes, we would be happy if you post them in the "comment box", we will then add them to the post as soon as possible.
