FS.23 22 inch Black glossy Mansory for Mercedes-AMG S63E

Mansory FS.23 Black Glossy Wheel for Mercedes-AMG S63E

The Black Glossy finish is the FS.23's monochrome counterpart to the Black Diamond — same forged ten-spoke wheel, same forged-aluminium construction, same axle-pair pattern, but with a uniform high-gloss black surface across every face of the wheel. No diamond-cut accents, no contrast bands, no chrome-flash. The result is a wheel that reads as a deliberate dark plane at any viewing distance — uniform, considered, and visually quiet against the saloon's body. Owners specifying the Black Glossy variant are choosing visual reservation: the wheel does not draw the eye away from the rest of the carbon programme on the body or the cabin's leather-and-velour register, and the OEM AMG-spec wheel-arch reads as a polished single-plane element rather than as a multi-feature focal point. On a flagship long-wheelbase saloon driven primarily for transport rather than display, this is often the right register. It is part of the parent Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Mercedes-AMG S63E.

Construction & Materials

Without diamond-cut accents the production sequence is simpler than the Black Diamond — the entire wheel face goes into the paint cycle and out again under a single UV clearcoat without the intermediate machining step.

• Forged 6082-T6 aluminium billet, monoblock construction (identical to Black Diamond)
• Multi-axis CNC machining to wheel geometry, no diamond-cut accents
• Diameter 23"; widths: 9.5" (front), 11" (rear)
• PCD 5x112; centre bore 66.5 mm; offsets ET 35 (front) / ET 30 (rear)
• Uniform gloss-black paint over the entire wheel face, including spokes, rim flange, centre cap
• UV clearcoat over the painted surface for protection
• Mass per wheel: 11.8–13.2 kg (slightly lighter than Black Diamond — no machined-accent paint thickness variation)
• Ten-spoke single-piece pattern, identical to Black Diamond geometrically

Design & Visual Function

The visual character of the Black Glossy at any viewing distance is consistent: a uniformly dark wheel face that reflects light only from the high-gloss surface rather than from defined facets. From across a parking lot the wheel reads as deep black; from arm's length the gloss surface still reads as uniform rather than detailed. This is the right register for owners who want the wheel to recede into the saloon's overall dark stance rather than to assert itself as a separate visual element.

An owner choosing this finish over the Black Diamond is making a deliberate aesthetic statement about restraint — the saloon's overall character should read through the body lines, the carbon programme, and the cabin's leather palette, rather than through wheel accents. Cars commissioned by serious-driver owners (rather than display-event-circuit owners) often default to this register; it is the wheel finish that ages most gracefully, since uniform gloss-black does not develop visible patina or wear-pattern visibility the way machined or polished surfaces eventually do.

For AMG Night Package cars the Black Glossy is the natural pairing — the wheel disappears into the AMG-spec blacked-out trim register rather than introducing chrome-bright accent points the way the Black Diamond's diamond-cut facets do. The cabin's interior register is also better-served by Black Glossy in cars where the cabin is leather-dominant and carbon-trim is sparing — the wheel does not compete with the cabin's quiet luxury programme.

Sunlight reflecting off the gloss-black surface produces a single uniform highlight rather than a multi-point sparkle. Cabin-spillover light at night (from streetlights or passing headlights) creates a soft halo on the wheel surface rather than the defined facet-flashes of the Black Diamond.

Compatibility & Fitment

Engineered for Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE (W223), 2023+, long-wheelbase saloon. Universal-axle SKU pair (front and rear in the same order). PCD, centre bore, and offsets identical to Black Diamond — ET 35 front, ET 30 rear. Compatible with AMG iron-brake and AMG ceramic-brake packages. AMG Night Package cars are the natural pairing for the uniform black finish. The OEM TPMS sensors transfer to the FS.23 wheels during install. Mansory's lowering suspension is the recommended pairing.

Installation & Reversibility

Plan 75–95 minutes for the four-wheel set on a hoist with one technician. Required tools: OEM-pattern wheel-bolt torque wrench, 17 mm socket, anti-seize compound, OEM AMG-spec wheel-balance machine. The OEM TPMS sensors transfer from the OEM wheels during install. Bolt torque is OEM specification at 130 Nm. Reversibility is full — OEM wheels can be reinstalled at any time without modification of the hub or arch geometry.

Pairing within the Mansory Mercedes-AMG S63E programme

Most often combined with the Lowering suspension for the optimal arch-fill stance, with the Sport decklid spoiler for a coordinated dark-rear stance that does not introduce additional visual feature points, and with the Mirror 1 cover LHD for visually-quiet door-shoulder coordination.

Maintenance & Durability

Black Glossy maintenance is straightforward — a uniform painted surface is more forgiving than the Black Diamond's mixed painted-and-machined surface. Use only pH-neutral wheel cleaner. Apply a ceramic wheel sealant quarterly. Avoid acid-based wheel cleaners — they will haze the gloss within months. Stone strikes can be polished out with a fine cut compound and a one-step polish; the lack of machined accents means there are no precision surfaces to protect during polish work. Wash every two weeks during winter to prevent road-salt-and-brake-dust build-up at the rim-flange-to-tyre seam. Cosmetic-finish lifespan: 8–10 years with routine ceramic-sealant care.

Lead Time & Warranty

Production turnaround: 6–8 weeks for the four-wheel set — slightly faster than the Black Diamond because there is no diamond-cut machining step. Custom finishes (matte black instead of gloss) extend by roughly one week. Warranty: 12 months against manufacturing defects — forging integrity, paint adhesion, clearcoat coverage, OEM TPMS-port dimensional accuracy — running from delivery date. Outside warranty: stone strike, kerb-rash damage, finish degradation from acid-based cleaners. Each four-wheel set ships in a custom shipping cradle with all four wheels balanced and TPMS-tested before packing; the QC photograph documents paint coverage and clearcoat continuity across all four wheel faces under raking light.

FAQ

Q: How does Black Glossy differ from Black Diamond?
A: Black Glossy is uniformly painted gloss-black across the entire wheel face; Black Diamond has gloss-black painted base with diamond-cut machined accents at spoke edges, rim-flange, and centre-cap surround. Different visual character: Glossy is uniform and reserved, Diamond is multi-faceted with chrome-bright accents.

Q: Is Black Glossy lighter than Black Diamond?
A: Marginally. The Black Diamond's machined accents add a tiny amount of metal removal but the diamond-cut surface and the second clearcoat layer balance out. Per-wheel masses are 0.2–0.3 kg apart at most.

Q: Will the gloss surface attract more brake-dust visibility than a satin or matte black?
A: Yes — gloss makes brake-dust visible faster than matte does. The trade-off is between visual brilliance (gloss) and lower-maintenance visibility (matte). Matte Black is a custom-finish option for owners who prefer the lower visibility.

Q: Will the wheel work with run-flat tyres?
A: Yes. Same rim-flange and bead seat geometry as the Black Diamond variant.

Q: Are the front and rear wheels packed and shipped together?
A: Yes — four-wheel sets ship as one order in a single shipping cradle with all four wheels balanced and TPMS-tested before packing.

Q: Will the centre cap carry a Mansory mark?
A: Yes. Black-painted centre cap with the Mansory mark in matched paint depth.

Q: How does Black Glossy read at events under bright stage lighting?
A: A single uniform reflection across the entire wheel face, rather than the multi-point sparkle that Black Diamond produces. The effect under stage lighting is monolithic — the wheel reads as a single deep-black surface element regardless of stage-light angle.

Q: Does the wheel run at the same offset and PCD as OEM AMG 21" wheels?
A: PCD is identical (5x112). Centre bore is identical (66.5 mm). Offset is OEM-AMG-spec but the FS.23 is 23" diameter rather than 21", so the appearance through the wheel arch is fuller. AIRMATIC ride-height behaviour is unaffected at OEM-spec ride height.
