Question C63 Wheel choice: HRE 590R or C20s?

Monoblocks didn't work for me, the rear inside wheels were wearing even w/o additional negative camber to solve the rubbing. Guys at Wheels Boutique have been very helpful and are taking them back in exchange. I'm thinking 590Rs or C20s in satin charcoal vs. textured black centers. Thoughts?

I'm leaning toward the 590Rs in satin charcoal.

Left is C20 satin charcoal, middle is 590R polished, and right is car w/ 590R satin charcoal.

After seeing that very same M3, I decided to order the 590's in the same finish as the bimmer. Would look stunning on the white 63.

Both look great but I'd go with the first one.
This might be an eenie-meenie-minee-moe situation. Can't go wrong either way.

20's on a C class don't look good imo. Too big and wannabe baller like. I'd go with 19's and drop the car a bit.

590Rs in 20s with chrome lip baby and slam that b!tch - you have a good eye for wheels, can't wait to see the results.

20s are perfect for the new 3 and C.

another thing to consider would be the new 20" C90's that will be ready for sale mid november. i know you wanted the C20's, but if you like any of the newer C90's we can make them in 20".

also, can you elaborate on the rubbing with the monobloks? we have never heard of, or seen that problem with those wheels.

thanks,
