I prefer the solid 5 spoke. The splits are OK but I would like to have bigger, nicer looking brakes to go with them.

I was just yesterday looking at couple of unsold C63s at my dealer and the wheels, with their grey finish, look permanently covered with brake dust.

Wheel wax is great temporary solution to brake dust if anyone is waiting to upgrade their rotors/pads like myself.

I will be selling mine within the next 2 or 3 days.

C63 18" 5-Spokes. Perfect condition - no rash, scratches or etc.
Only put 1350 miles on them - 1000 were for run-in and haven't done a single burnout.

I'll post pics probably Saturday or Sunday.

Anybody now if there is a weight difference between the two? Going off size alone, the C63 rims are 1" wider all around I think so they may weight more, but that depends if the material used is the same for both styles... Bueller?
