C63 AMG
New wheels (at least to me)



Bought from a member 'Kingpin 007'
perfect transaction: fair price, fast delivery, packaged perfectly, better than advertised

new tires: Conti DWS oem size, LI and speed rating
will be used for winter, but threw them on for shytes/grins, and as an excuse to clean/wax the summer wheels
also cleaned the liners, brakes, suspension components during the exchange

oem wheels, medium gloss black powder coated, really high quality job
got some Audi gloss black lug caps

I think it looks really good on the silver car

Gotta adjust that brightness/ contrast on your screen!
I always thought his sig pic was a silver vehicle!

Or when you say "white", were you referring to the Pear White?

Sorry, but just can't warm up to that look. It looks like two featureless black smudges in the wheelwells. To each his own - glad that you like it.

In pics... yes
In person... NO, not on silver imo.
I typically do not like blacked out oem AMG's either, but on silver, they look good.

Your car looks the business

Give me a minute to think of some sort of algorithm as to why this now makes your car faster than an m4

Looks good friend

Taste is subjective .. Agreed
But I willl say pics don't do them justice
It looks good in the metal, clean rotor hats and calipers, nice flat black tires

They'll be fine for winter

Just put 2 coats of collanite paste insulator wax on the summer ones
Probably put them back on in a few days
I will say they look great too: nice contrast the painted vs machined
Lucky to have either, really lucky to have both

I also have a silver C63 and was thinking that black wheels would look good. I think it looks great!

Looks fantastic. I always thought that a silver lip ALWAYS looked the best on black wheels.....if you can pull that off it would be the bees knees....!

I think it's just hard to capture in a pic. Bet it looks great. Congrats
