Stance SC-5ive Custom Color C350

Since Everybody and their dog bought the Stance SC-5ive wheels and put them on their Benz's, we decided to change the wheel color...... Powdercoated Matte Graphite. They turned out Gloriously!

Came out nice but I can't decide if I like it better than the gloss black or not. As long as you do that's what matters, and at least it's original.

Looks good. It's one of the few really concave options the w204 can pull off.
As far as everyone and their dog, I don't know if 5 people on the forum qualifies vs the thousands of C classes you see on the street evey day.

Hey Popp where'd you get them powder coated from and how much did you end up paying? We are from the same place and I was looking into getting my stock AMG's coated to something of my liking. How long does the process usually take, do the wheels need to be dropped at the place? I ask cause I work in Edmonton, PM me if you like.

Car's looking sick.

I am buddies with an owner of a shop in Calgary. Retail it ranges from $80-120per wheel depending on colour and amount of prep. (they sand blast the wheel also). Typically turn around is about 1 week, but if they need to rush it they can do it in 2-3 days.

I can ask him if he knows any good shops in Edmonton.

It's MCD's. If anything, you might wanna look at qwertywerty's parting out thread and grab his Euroteck dual diffuser he's got for sale, over the MCD one (but that's just personal preference)

Hmm..$80 doesn't sound too bad at all. Colour wise I was thinking either gloss or matte black. Yes that would be great if you could ask your friend about a place in Edmonton and perhaps I can give them a call to ask.

Or if your friend would be willing to do, that would work as well as I am in Calgary pretty much every other weekend. But yea, they would need to be rushed as I only spend the weekends there and back up in Edmonton on weekdays.

Thank you so much!

I'll ask him about Edmonton. As far as Calgary goes, it won't work as 99% shops only work mon-fri....
