This might just be the best C I've ever seen on here. Beautiful. C63 headlights would really set it off. What are the specs of the wheels?

Also, without lowering there is no rubbing and no spacers needed right? (with your set up above)

Thanks

Another person on this form has these wheels in the normal color. That car looked nice as well.

Congrats on having one of the nicest C's ever.

I think C63 headlights would definitely do you some good.

My fear with 19's is that our brakes start to look small. In my 17" wheels they barely fit. If I go 19's, I'll probably do something less open.

efx1 - nice ride. I really like the style of those rims. I've wondered what they would look like powdercoated black, now I know! The red calipers pop.

Which springs are those? SuperSports? Looks like an aggressive drop, especially if they haven't settled yet.

Do you have any close ups of the wheels and calipers?
