I'll post pics of my new wheels/tires when I receive and install them (on order - should get by end of Sep).
I was thinking of getting calipers done as well - they look great. Was this done professionally? How much did that cost?
Thanks!

Got my calipers painted this past week and the car washed today. So here are pics of my new wheels and tires.
The wheels are 19 8.5 front, 19 9.5 rear.
Tires are All Season Continentals, 245 35 front, 275 30 rear. I did the math, front and rears are only .20" taller.

Thanks. I put an ad on Craigslist from which I hired a guy. He was absolutely meticulous. He had never painted calipers before. He asked for $75. I told him if he did a good job, I'd give him $125. It was so good, I gave him $175.

Wow. Did he pull calipers off the car?

No. Painted on the car using G2. It works great. Pre-cleaning a must. Buy a second brush at any hardware store. The one brush with the kit starts to fill with semi-dried paint by the third application.

Question guys,
Regarding spacers, will 12mm + 40mm bolts work all around? or maybe even 15mm with 43mm bolts? I feel that the Multispokes on my E were more "pushed in" compared to my C63 before I lowered and added spacers.
On my C63, lowered on H&R running 265 in the rear, I can only run 10mm spacer with 37mm bolt. I had to get the 40mm rear bolts shaved down to 37mm because the 40mms were too long with 10mm spacers and were hitting my parking break. I have 12mm on the front with 40mm bolts and it's pretty good.

Coupe is clean, very nice......!
I'm sporting 20" wheels & tires front 225/35/20 8.5, rear 275/30/20 10 I think it looks good and I didn't give up much on ride comfort, I'm not a fan of low to no tires on my car I like a little wall.....lol
Badge......I de-badge every MERCEDES I have ever owned that's just a personal thing I like the clean look and it always leaves people wondering what I'm driving.....funny at times

Seeing as the current C63 Sedan starts at 65K and the C63-S at 73K. I bet this new coupe is going to come in around low to mid 70K for the non-S, and up around 80K+ for the S version.
