Yes, I picked these up from Phil. They're the timeless look I've wanted since my first C63.

And that pic had a lot to do with my plan to pic these up.
I'll be adding a set of KW V3 over the winter. My old C63 was in H&R coils and I really miss it. Gotta say though, the pop so much in person I don't much mind the gap since the stance is just so perfect.

Might even get up early and give it a bath.

This angle really shows the dirt and the flush fitting. Just so right IMHO.

I looked for over a year for this exact color. When it popped up.I called the guy and bought it. I've since seen one other (a '13 in California). It was $8k more and had far fewer options, though a bit fewer miles. They do come up, just not often. Pretty sure this one was a special order.

TBH no idea haha. 20" is about all I know. I was thinking of putting the stocks back on and trying to sell the Vossens. haven't decided yet though. I just feel 20" is a bit too big for this car.

In terms of look or ride or both?
Looks wise, I think it really depends on the wheel, as some look bigger than others. Obvs.

Ridewise the difference from 18 to 19 isn't much, but 19 to 20 is another story.

The VOLK's would be a huge upgrade as far as I'm concerned. Give me a shout so I can set you up with the reduced MBWorld member pricing

I have put 18 winters on and as I found with W211s and W212 E classes, ride changes dramatically as wall height gets shorter.

You are also changing type of tire there too though, from the summer to the winters.
But I just meant that in increments of difference, the 19 to 20 difference is a LOT more pronounced than the 18 to 19. 20s mean 25 series rubber, and that means hardly any air in there. NO flex.
