I just installed my c32 staggered rims and pirelli nero tires. I had pilot sports initially. I'll let you all know how the neros are. Oh, my old rims are for sale as well. 3 of them.

Why did you get the butt ugly 17 inch C32 Wheels to replace the the awesome looking C7 Wheels?

This is a downgrade!

downgrade...how? it's definitely an upgrade since the C7's standard for the C-sport pkg and the AMG style IV is standard for the C32...

I don't think he meant it's a downgrade because the C32 is cheaper, he meant it's a downgrade because the C32 AMG rims are ugly.

all personal opinion on the way two rims look. Other than the style IV looks small it's very nice looking when it's spinning. BUT I'll be replacing mine in march...lol

Yeah that is what I mean. Ugly is an understatement for that wheel. It just kills the appearance of the C32.

LOL, u guys are making it sound like the C32 wheels being ugly is a fact! haha There not bad, but its all personal preference. IMHO the C7s were cool when they were only on the Coupes C7 package, since the C230 sedans used to have them there just to played out and they are everywhere! thats one reason why i got rid of mine.

They are pretty awful for a high caliber car like a C32 AMG. the 18 inch ones are much better as the spokes are longer and nicer and fits the style.

The C7s were on the Sedan for like a year. Now they have those bland mustang wheels. C7s are still pretty exclusive on the Sedan. Coupes have them standard still tho.

I'll be getting high pressure cast replicas for very very cheap from my bro's friend. I've checked out their sameples it's made of great quality.

with the money for getting these replicas it's still cheaper than buying just one real LM-6.

Cool Frank. Take some pics when the come in. Finally after 2 years you are making an effort.

So what happened to not being able to mod your car? Parents finally gave in?

It should come in early March. I'll tell my bro's friend the spec tomo. hopefully 18x8 and 18x9 et35 will clear the front caliper for these LM-6 replicas.

my parents main thing is for me not to spent senseless money. For these replicas I'll be getting them very cheap. For a set of these you can't even get one single real LM-6
