I WANT A NEW LOOK !

i have been debating with myself about changing the look of my car . kinda getting tired of seeing everyone rolling around with black wheels on a white car . i'm not just talking about mercedes . i dont want my car to look like everyone elses , even though its a c63 . i love the look of this m3 and i think it would look outstanding on our cars . let me know what you think .

Gold on white is a killer combo...just not sure it'll look right with the C63. Why not go white on white?

I was never a fan of gold wheels, the car looks very good as it is with the black wheels.

color matching to me is overplayed . everyone has done it . i just want to go with something that is different and still looks good . the m3 in those pics looks great with those wheels . i have seen black wheels , polished wheels , grey wheels and chrome wheels on a c63 but i have never seen a set of race gold wheels on one yet . my turbo g35 was white and i had some gold wheels on it and i got compliments everywhere i went . i think my c will look great with the gold wheels and all the carbon goodies . i will post pics when i get it done . if i dont like it , i can always change back to black . good thing about it is that i have a powdercoating guy that has always done my work on my showcar and i get the frequent shopper price .

It looks pretty good, there is a "bling" to it if that's what you want.

Heree's another photoshop with the monoblocks.

Couldn't find actual gold ones, so i tried to match them as close as possible in photoshop

With gold look very nice! It made C63 more racing car type of look.

white car with black wheels is too common now . i have always been a fan of white or black sports cars with gold wheels . i have found a place that sells the gold powder on the m3 in the pic . i am ordering it today . i personally like the gold wheel with chrome lip on a white car . gold is either a "love it" or "hate it" color but i love it .

pimp wheels ??? did anyone read my thread and it said something about me ordering 24" spinners in gold ?

guess the "love it or hate it" is already in motion .

First of all nice car! Gold will be a nice combination to your car with all carbon fiber goodies. I recommend you try out less spokes gold wheels with a big rear lip.

Its gonna look better vs black rims i bet =)
