Anyone here from Australia with a C63 ??

Nice choice of rim, they will look sensational on a white car. Have you seen any photos of 9x10 in a 48 offset fitted to a C63.
Why go for 10’s if you are only fitting a 265 tyre? A 9.5 would possibly save guard work and any chance of heartache unless you intend to go fatter at a later stage.

I have seen 10in rim with +48 and with a 285 tyre it slightly rubs when hammering it and hitting some hard bumps, thats on a 20in though. i got these wheels in 3 piece just in case i do have trouble they can be modified.

I may go a bigger tyre at a later date, but i like the slight stretch look.

Nice way to go. I also like the stretched look on a euro, particularly when lowered where the guards are just sitting above the rubber.

is there anyone in australia (especially perth) that can install aftermarket LSD in the car?
otherwise will it be better if i just go for the LSD option from factory ?

If you are placing an order for the car, definitely go the LSD, you’ll find some disappointment if you don’t.
If you’ve already ordered, quickly get onto your dealer and see if it can be added to the order before they start manufacture.
If you’re too late to add it, you’ll 'sh*t' your pants when you find out the cost of a dealer fit.
Have you Goggled? There are tuners over your way that fit the Quaife to other makes of car, check with them to see if they’ll do a Mercedes-Benz.

i already ordered the car, thinking should i add-on that option.
it is a $6000 option and i believe aftermarket LSD is cheaper and better.
but i cant seem to find any in perth.

Awesome sound man, I was right in your **** yesterday trying to get a better look, I hope you didn't get the wrong impression!
I also found your video on youtube. IMO it doesn't do justice to what it really sounds like

Maverick, we're going to have to meet up! I've been dying to see a Brabus close up, and quite keen to see what a difference your old HREs might make on my car.
