Looks good.

Now all you need is the clear corners and the S600 style grill and you're set.

how come you guys don't like the US type OEM front corners from Bosch?
you change them to clear or original specs without the orange color reflex?

In Europe we don't use the US style front corners!
I had to special order them, the stealership couldn't get them for me!
Real incompetence!
We have them without the orange reflecting part!

I changed my original factory corners to US style corners and rewired the wires so they are lighted up while driving!
Much more cool lookin' car in my opinion!
Yeah!
My car looks more special and luxurious with these US corners on!
Yeah,

yeah!

What size tires did you put on there? I'm surprised how well they fit.

Quick Question: When you used this wheel from an SL, do you need to put spacers on? Someone told me SL wheels don't fit C-Class (W202) because of their offset. Is this true? Thanks for the info.

A really clean look. I'd like to see what it'd look like sitting alittle higher....

12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG sold)

I had the opportunity to buy identical wheels but in 17" on a local auction site (staggered and same ET to fit a C43. To finish with I did not bid as I decided to go for 18" OEM monos. IMO it is the best looking wheel and correct size for this model as it keeps to the original AMG look.
