I personally handled Harun's orders. If you need help exporting products to your country please dont hesitate to contact me. We are also MBWorlds exclusive distributor for Harun's C63 wheels.
I noticed you have the Revozport kit, do you mind sending me some pictures for my customers that are interested in getting this kit? We are importing it into the US and its quickly becoming popular but everyone wants to see pictures

Sure i will email them too you. I am very happy with the Revosport carbon fibre. My only minor egataive is with the carbon fibre seatbacks which fit the seat very nicely but i have had a hard time getting the lower part of the 'wings' where they wrap around the sides of seat bolsters to adhere properly to the seats. Having cleaned everything properly and tried several different types of doublesided tape i still get a tiny amount of lifting at the edges which mars an otherwise perfecct prodcut.
I have the oil cooler covers, rear sideskirts and diffuser not full kit though.

Damn that is hot - id agree that the pic might be p-shopped. The offset on that rear seems way too agressive - that was my biggest issue when getting 3 piece wheels - the largest lip I could go was 2.5"

Well, after months of waiting, the wheels are here. My phone pics do not do it justice, but once some of the carbon fibre comes, then i will do a proper photo shoot.
I am very happy with the outcome, tyres dont rub, and the car sits perfect. It now sits 1inch lower, the new rims are 19x8.5 & 19x10. I had nervous moments but it all worked out.
Thanks to James at BPS, Matt from GMP Performance in the states, Jason Jax Tyres and Chris Neal wheel revolution. All these guys had an input to get it all together with good prices.
I am very happy now with its performance, looks and soon to be sound.

for any one else who wants to get adv1 wheels like mine, i reckon you could go a more agressive ofset too. my tyres are 235/35 and 255/30. You could another +5 to +8 to the offset.

They actually fit very well. I was afraid of the tyres rubbing. But they turned out well. I could go a 265/275 on the rear but i like the slight stretch look. If you saw the tyres you would think they are bigger.

Very nice, looks great!!
I hope you have a monthly plan with a car wash!! I thought my rims got dirty quick!! I can even imagine trying to keep those clean.

carbon rear diffuser is on its way
Matt, my heart was going to explode yesterday!!! the amount of dramas trying to get them fitted and running around. But in the end, it turned out perfect!!! these telephone pic photos do not do justice, trust me. They look so much better. And that photo was the car just off the hoist, before the new springs can settle. Now it sits much better. And, the wheels have a good ofset so they sit just out with good concave style to it, but i reckon you could easyly add some more to it.
As mentioned once we have some good weather and i get time, i am doing a proper shoot of the car and those pics will be put up.

i saw the photos yesterday, but they don't seem to work any more now?
from memory, it seemed that the car sat lower in the rear than the front. Since the springs settling, did the lower the front too?
i would also have to agree with you on more negative offset. If you were worried about scrubbing, I would have opted for a larger sidewall tyre but slightly less width, like a 245/40 or so. Also, did you do your guards in any way? I mean, did you roll the guards and have the lip bent up? This also would have helped you avoid scrubbing.

The more negative ofset could work, but you will need guard work if you lower the car. I checked this out today. My tyre clearance is paper wide from guard when rim tucks up (going up and down un even driveways). So if you were to go a more negative ofset, it could work with a smaller diametre tyre but then you would never have traction, you would fry the tyres 1st 2nd 3rd. Right now i have no issues doing a 1,2 rev limit tyre fry from the lights. Anything smaller would be stupid.
My guards have not been touched at all, everything i have done fits perfectly with no rubbing at all using the ofsets i have and tyre choice. I could fit a 265 under there but i can tell you it will be really really close.

JB, the ofset really depends on the rim type and disk size (Hi, Mid or Low). Every rim
can change and this was my big issue and concern (you can ask matt hehe). But you will
need some were between a +48 to +55, depends on rim size too. A friend had a Mid disk
caliper clearance rim that was a 20x10, with + 51. Didnt fit, hit the guards. So he took
1/2inch out, re machine the inner wheel and then it fit, but would still some times touch.

Hi Harun
With your ECU tune how do you get good traction with those width rears. I have just gone to 275 and have finally been able to get good traction. You r ECU has pretty good numbers but you must struggle in the wet surely??

Hi my friend, i have only drive the car in rain maybe half a dozen times in the past year. I dont drive the car in rainy days, but coming back from my mechanic, i can tell you this, no traction in S mode or Manual mode with traction control on or off. Only way i was taking off is in C mode with traction control on. Forget about fast get aways or speedy take offs in the wet.
On Friday night, it had cleared up, so i gave it hit from the lights, i fried 1st and 2nd toooo easy.

Harun, that last rear shot really shows how concaved they are. I just emailed you about the diffuser. Glad to see your enjoying your new wheels.
If anyone is interested in a set please feel free to let me know.
Congrats Harun!
