I thought you were joking about your green ones The bronze color looks very nice. I like the style too.
The green ones have been: gloss red, gloss blue, Battleship Grey, Tinted clear and of course green.....not sure what color I'll get those in next. I do like the mesh set also
What color should I try next? Thanx Dustin.
Looks great. Been thinking about a similar color on my factory 19's on the palladium silver. Love to see them on the car!
Thanx for your comment brother. I too am looking forward to their mounting. I'm kind of torn because my brakes (pads and rotors) are coming due any time now (64K miles), and
I don't want the shop to muck up my new painted wheels! I'm battling between having them installed or waiting until after the BJ is done.....of course then I have to contend with
loads of brake dust from new pads which is why I'm planning on a coat of wax or ceramic coating. Choices.
The wheels POP so nicely in the sunlight too, truly looks like a new penny

Try the ceramic coating. For me at least a power wash gets the brake dust off pretty easily. So I don’t gotta clean by hand as often anymore. Maybe once a month or something.
Once my brake pads due I’m def going for a low dust pad. It’s outta control on these cars

It does get pretty bad......even coats the side of my car. What kind of pads are you getting? I've never seen low dusty's for our CLS.
Any particular coating for the wheels you like?

I didn’t look up any particular one. But I thought EBC red stuff had one that fit the e63 which would fit us....no?
Not really. I went to 2 diff guys for my winters and summers. The guy the did the winters (which I feel clean off waaaaay easier...I have no clue what he used). This guy my friend got off IG, came and did them in my driveway. The guy that did the summers was a shop that uses ceramic pro (I think they use that on the wheels too?). Lots of high end cars go thru there so I figured it would be better. Dunno if it was the ceramic pro or the coating wasn’t applied as good (some spots the shine looked a little uneven). Also dunno if it’s matte black rims look dirtier vs greys which might conceal it better

Thanx for the tip. I have my parts on standby anyway.
Got these mounted today, I do like the color, however these pics do not capture their beauty they kind of look orange huh?. But oh man they pop like crazy in the bright sunlight
