I always enjoy coming into your threads, one of a very very very few tasteful C300's on here, you have all these clean mods but no wheels to compliment them :P

Man just save up the extra $600 and get some Forgestars or something! Powerwheel reps look to OEM for what your car looks like right now

Yeah, a lot of people aren't happy about that. >_> Anyways, Forgestars run about $1200-$1400 depending on what size you want them in. If you got a set in 19" gloss black, whether it be the CF5's if you want the classic/aggressive 5 spoke look, or the sporty F14 mesh-style wheels, I think they would look very, very clean.

Edit: if you want something with a lip, I always thought the Concept One RS8's looked clean. If you look at the Official Pictures Thread, 08RedC350 (or something like that) has em on his Mars Red W204. Looks pretty good.

I would say it would be a nice touch. Especially with that slammed (or somewhat close to it) look you've got going with your supersports. Someone's selling their HRE's that they're parting out for around $3000. Maybe you can get those if you want some high quality wheels with lips :P

But yeah try mocking up some photoshops or something.

+1 agreed. the mesh behind the grill is key, and u need shoes. I miss my white C, just something about white on this body. Im stuck w black now Find some decent wheels and paint em/powdercoat them black to complete the look. Ur car looks rly good, the lip blends nice into ur bumper cover. Looks really good bro, lovin it

Shoulda just bought a can of matte black paint for $7 man. It looks good but I remember someone saying that their tips turned WHITE after a few months. Unless of course you're going for that look :P

But yeah, it looks clean Ed.
