My dealer just told me I can have the factory AMG wheels chromed for $1,193

I'm thinking about doing it. Wifey even said the car should have chromes.

Just want y'alls opinion on the price.

They would be chroming the 18" AMG 5-spoke light alloy wheels that come standard with the C63.

Always a matter of personal taste but seeing as you asked: DO NOT DO IT.
Would totally destroy the cache of the car and turn it into some sort of pimp mobile. What is wrong with a little bit of subdued class - which the car currently has in spades?? Personally i could not think of anything worse. irrespective of the body colour you have.

Really?! I had no idea the responses would be so strong. Good feedback guys.

Most of the guys here will say DONT DO IT but if you like it..DO IT but that price is too much

LOL...

Chrome wheels on a C63 = puke

Oh yeah, another word of advice. Don't listen to "wifey" when it comes to cars.

Please don't do it. High performance cars, IMO, do not wear chrome shoes.

I'm only 39, but I LOVE chrome. Maybe because I can totally appreciate the older cars, but I've thought the same thing.

I was actually going to look at just having the raised edges of the 5 spokes polished along with the lip to give it a little more pop...

Hey man do what you feel....i had my doubts about my wheels before they came and when they arrived i was shocked as to how good they looked i get compliments on the car all the time from the dealer to people walking by. i don't have a performance car by any means but its about what you like and im a very picky guy when it come to mods, rims etc.

If you like it, why not, go for it!
But, to me that's a downgrade..

Chrome wheels just don't look performance oriented and bad *** like the OEM ones that come with the AMGs.. chrome gives the message of P-Diddy is in da house more than anything else..

hawtheric1

And what's wrong with P-Diddy

Thanks for all the inputs everyone?

EH

When Wifey's supporting the purchase you have to make her feel like she's part of the buying process. It's all good.

Thanks for your feedback.

hawtheric1

That's what I was looking for...some feedback on the price.

My dealer said he would chrome the OEM AMG Wheels for $1,193. I thought that was a little spendy but I wanted some feedback from the "team."

Thanks

+1. Too expensive. Shop around.

Personally I wouldn't but its your call(or your Wife's LOL)

Sincity

I know what you mean. But in the end, she always says, "you already made up your mind anyway."

hawtheric1

How did you know that?!?!? Are you married to her too? Hahaha! Too funny.

I thought you were kidding. I hope you don't make this mistake.

Here is a photo of wheels on a CLK63. I purchased the car used. Original owner bought the car from Fetcher Jones Newport. Do not know price of option. IMHO,everyone eyes are different, make your own decision, not someone else's view point.
