New shoes on the way. HRE S101 for the C63.
Waiting to get a set of rims for normal street driving to keep the OEM with Dunlops for the track. I ended up with the ones attached below. HRE S101 satin face, gloss black lip and barrel with the HRE in red. These will look exactly like the ones in the pic, except for the HRE in red.
20x10 in front with 20x11.5 in back with 325/20-20 Michelin PSS's.
Can't wait.

Very Nice. I have the same wheels on my Black Series also, except satin black with polished lip. Killer look. Post some pics when you get them on.

Actually, DragonAMG did HREs in 20x12 in the back with an offset that's 10mm greater than mine. I'm actually going pretty conservative I think. Hopefully it doesn't look too crazy without lowering, as I want to keep the height and handling setup for track days. If I do lower it, might just drop about 10mm front and back... we'll see.

Thanks guys... I'll keep you posted about the progress. As for price, all in after mounting/balancing/TPMS, it's near 10k delivered... not a small investment I guess. But I figure since I track only about 2-3 times a year, I'll save from replacing the tires all the time. Well, maybe I'm just rationalizing.

LOL, I wouldn't post pics and hijack this thread. Don't worry, I'll post a proper photo shoot soon on a separate thread. I'm just waiting on the right center caps to arrive. I received the black and silver ones, but wanted the original red, blue, and white center caps.
Sorry OP, not trying to hijack. I am very much looking forward to seeing your wheels since you went with wider tires on the rears. I went with what HRE recommended, which was 295.

No I didn't. I like the factory ride height. It's already low. Any lower and you risk damaging the front. I don't want to deal with the headaches that usually come with driving a lowered car. That scraping sound is the worst.
