Looks great, nice rims. Are they C63 replicas (looks bigger) - if so any issues?
Also, where did you get them painted? Professionally or DIY - if professionally how much did it run you?

Both of us run 19" AMG replicas they're a tire shop that sells them like hotcakes mostly for BMWs. A shop did my lights I didn't want the projector bezel painted, but there was some miscommunication they charged me 125 for painting and installing HID kit, puddle lights on the eyebrows and azn rear turn signals.

Well it looks great, didn't even notice the projector bezel was painted. Makes it look more stealth, I'm assuming the c63 or 2011 w204's still have the projector bezel silver?
I'm surprised they only charged $125 for all that. I wonder what they would charge to simply paint the headlights. Did you remove the headlights or they did all that for you?
Lastly, rims look great, wouldn't even know they are replicas. No problems with vibrations or cracks or bent rims?
Where are you located? I'm guessing no where near the tri-state area?

I'm in TX they disassembled the whole front and they did take apart the housing to get the bezel painted. The replicas ride great and feel smoothe I lost ride quality from the H&R springs.
