HRE M40 or M43 ?
I've always liked black rims. How do you think 19 inch HRE M40 or M43 would look on my white C63?

Anyone with skills on photoshop feel free to post.

On HRE website there is a white C63 i think with Black M40s. Not a fan of black wheels on white though. Just my opinion. I am getting brushed silver M40s on my tenorite grey c63

Dude, that orange reflector with your red calipers is making my eyes bleed. Please paint the reflector ASAP. Go with the M40's. The other one's more of a big car wheel.

I was actually thinking of making my calipers red, but after seeing this car I’m not so sure...Kind of looks of balance, or out of place...I don’t think the red brakes fit a Benz...

I think the calipers look out of place just because the car is bone stock. He needs to compliment the calipers with other cosmetic mods.

Yeah, I know the side markers have to go. Got those on order. Not sure what else I'll do cosmetically though.

Here's a pic I found of white with black rims

M40 FTW! I think it is the best looking wheel for the C63.

I might be wrong, but they look like HRE’s 890R Series, Model 897R.

Here's my poor attempt at photoshop. They seemed blacker in the original picture. In this picture they look more gunmetal. Do they come in gunmetal?

Below that is a chrome set on a CLK 63 BS.

Another beginner photoshop effort with the M40.

What finishes do the M40's come in?

Go with M49. I just ordered these for mine in polished black.

If your dead set on picking one of the two. I vote for the M40 hands down.
