Some quick photos of my C (new rims)

Well they finally arrived yesterday after waiting almost 12 weeks since I placed the order.

They are iForged Daytona's brushed centers with polished lips. 19x8 fronts and 19x10 rears.

P.S. i took off the brabus flat hood badge and went back to the upright star because my wife said she liked it better anybody interested in an authentic Brabus hood badge?

Thanks guys for the compliments!

No rubbing whatsoever... that's the nice thing about custom wheels/offsets. I even drove home with my old 4 brabus rims/tires in the back seat and trunk yesterday and i still didn't rub.

only 8" up front?? They look pretty good on there..that front is just a little small since you went with custom wheels.

Well for this particular iForged rim, the 2 pc 19" reversed lip only come in 8, 10 and 12 inch width, so i was limited in my options.

Niiiiiiice....don't know what it is about them women and that upright star. My wife said the same thing. But in her defense, I'm kinda partial to the upright as well.

whoa! whoa! whoa! That is HOTT. I wish I could afford custom wheels, when you said 19x10 without rubbing, I almost splurged myself. Can you take some closer shots of the wheel, maybe upwards to show the rear fender and tires. Awesome wheels!

Mark, those look so damn good! I know the wait almost killed you, but at least they're on now. I guess that monster of a pothole you hit while we were talking yesterday didn't do any damage?...

You guys actually listen to the recommendations they give about your cars?! My wife says all kinds of things (mostly about how I better not spend any more money on it, or else!!!) and I just nod and smile.
