hey frank,

Is there any difference in the ride or handling? Also, are the tyres the recommended dimension for the C63 wheels or they are your own preference? Looks good...excellent choice!

wblynch, haha...yea, the Posier' with the C63 wheels. no debaging or adding badges tho...lol maybe get a V6 badge for the fender?

naifali, they're the stock C63 tire spec 235/40/18 and 255/35/18. The optional 18" AMG has 225/40/18 on the front instead. The C63 tires are the new P-Zero system and optional 18" gets contisport3 I believe. rides doesn't differ that much at least for me. The P-Zero handles 100x better than the contipro contact we get on the stock 17". I'm used to my 32 ride being stiff and on 18s currently on PS2s, so asking me how is the ride comfort with new wheel is not very accurate compare to someone who are used to a softer ride.

yxc145, they're 18" like F_Porsche said. it's the take off from C63.

Hey FRANKW now I know why you ordered the grille
It would look PERFECT!!

so my next guess is -> carbon/FRP rear diffuser/w quad exhausts?
something like...
