(Former C63 owner) Wanted to give props to a great wheel vendor in SoCal
Yes, I know I am no longer a C63 owner, but I wanted to bring attention to a fantastic wheel vendor in SoCal; specifically Los Angeles. Their name is Wheel Enhancement and they have been in business for I believe at least 20 years http://www.wheelenhancement.com/. They mainly do Porsches, but they are HRE's largest West Coast distributor and therefore can (and have) done wheel setups for all types of auto brands.
I have recently purchased several sets of HREs from them, and John and Dave (the owners) couldn't have been better to deal with. And although you don't see them much (if at all) on this forum or posting advertisements on various other forums, they nonetheless deserve recognition for their fantastic customer service and competitive pricing.
Like I have said in other posts, all too often Vendors/Manufacturers become of the object of public ridicule and disdain when a problem occurs...but people are less likely to point out when aftermarket entities do a great job and thus should receive the appropriate praise. So, I just wanted to bring to members' attention that if you're in SoCal -- and near the Los Angeles area -- and you are looking for a great wheel retailer...Wheel Enhancement is a top notch choice.

Thanks! The last couple times my post got moved back to the CLS forum, so have been more sparse with posts here.
Gracias!
Hopefully you will all like the next two sets I have coming from HRE and Wheel Enhancement!

I need you to take a break from ordering HRE wheels. You're soaking up their labor force. At this rate, I'll never see my wheels refinished. 
Awesome set of wheels. The P40SC are by far my favorite twist on a classic design. That semi gloss black finish looks really good, and the gold finish is a head turner for sure. You have excellent taste sir

Here's the deal...I love my car and don't want another one. But I like the option of switching up looks every so often and basically giving my car a whole new aesthetic appeal (in my eyes). It's similar to why someone like Vic or maverick have more than one luxury car. I mean, you can't drive two cars at once? But each car provides something that the other doesn't. Now, the wheels don't provide any "performance" differences, but that's not why I got them. The car already has performance mods and is a blast to drive, so why not do this?
I'm NOT buying 4 sets of tires and am not storing these myself or paying for their storage. Wheel Enhancement in LA has been a joy to deal with, and has made buying these wheels and swapping them out a painless undertaking --- at least for me. Plus, I don't have to be so **** if something happens to one off wheels (for example, curb rash). I'm a single man with no kids and a dog, and am addicted to wheels. I need an intervention!
