Looks great Roly

Just lower the stance of your C55 and it'll be perfect. I'm glad you were able to refinish the wheels. How long did everything take? And what tires are you using?

It took me about 2 1/2 weeks. Getting them pianted was the longest part of the project b/c of taking them apart and then having to put together and torqing them to specs. The curb rash was just lots of patience and wet sanding. Tires are pirelli and sizes are 235/35fr & 265/30 19 rears. Lowering the car will be somtime soon when Tony hooks me up hahaha.

I noticed in your picture that there is a "C-Sport" emblem on the side fenders.

Did you purposely put that on there to fool people?
Hahaha you sneaky guy you!

I think you're right. I remember reading something about the Renntech mods he has on the C55. I've never seen the Renntech emblem before so couldn't tell.

Hey Roly, try to take close up shots of the wheels and emblem

AMG-Jerry has them and they can easily fit in that area of the fender.
