How do you like 'em? Have you put enough miles on yet to notice the difference over bumps and such with the lower profile tires? Just asking 'cause I ordered some 19s and starting second guessing if I should have gotten 18s instead.

Those look very nice!

Is that an OEM 2012 C63 grille? I see that it's a 2-piece with one bar in the middle.

im going a little slower on humps, bumps, curbs etc. maybe its just psychological. I was also thinking of the 18's cause thats what MB's upgrade option. Im sure there is a reason why they only offer 18's for upgrades. But i really like the look. THe drive is a bit different.

No that is not OEM c63 grille. I bought that off ebay. I like the single fin look. thats the closest replica i could find. bought it for $140 shipped.

I like the wheels and grill a lot. Very nice. Is that factory ride height, or did you lower it?

Yeah. That grille is amazing! The separation of the grille where the hood meets the bumper flows a lot better than the previous C63-style grille. I might order that grille along with those wheels this summer!

IMO just the right amount of mods to make it noticeable yet minimalistic.

Awesome grille, indeed! I stayed with stock grille for 2 1/2 years until Dec when it came out. Love it so much when later on the seller came out with chrome silver and full black (matte) variants, I bought the silver one to better match the Palladium silver.
