Looks good however it doesn't look concavish enough. I've seen the same exactly wheels on a CLS and it looks great but for some reason this one just looks ok.

It's probably the offset.

You can go deeper in the rear with the lip but it begins too look funny when the lip goes farther inwards underneath the break calipers.

I've seen these wheels at ACG while getting my exhaust installed on my GTR. They are absolutely beautiful and the finish is one of a kind.

patboyy

yeah, it has to go deeper!

avengerboater

Awesome looking wheels, my man!!! They look PERFECT on your car!!!

NS_C63

Looks nice.

What are the rims weights?

yazid

JamE55: as mentioned in my earlier post, the C63 has a higher offset, hence concavity is shallow-er than the CLS. Trust me, not being biased but it looks good!

Matthew: yeah it would look weird to have it underneath the calipers.. its good as it is

Cheers Peter! Have had many compliments on the new shoes!

Hehe that reminds me, I'm sending the car to the MB dealer tomorrow morn for final checks on tire alignments. It looks and feels good in turns, which i believe the camber is negative. Will speak to the mechanics tom morn to maybe bring it all at neutral to balance tire wear.

Many thanks 2K6E55 Totally agree with you.. I am very impressed with the finish!

I'd love it to have it deeper but once it went on.. it is actually a really good fit.. not too extravagant in terms of concavity.

avengerboater: cheers mate! as i mentioned to _AMG_ earlier in the post, just need to tidy up the exterior mods now

Lol I didn't weigh the wheels.. will let you know once
i get the numbers.

the lip can be larger but it would look completely out of place. You can't get a more concave wheel on a C-Class. this is as deep as any 3-piece concave will go without making the car into a widebody.

Just to share with you guys on what's been happening on my side of the world after installing the ADV 10's on her..

As soon I had the chance, I sent her back to the one and only MB Dealer to redo the wheel alignment and so forth, which took the whole afternoon of last Friday. She's been in the MB Dealer's body shop since then.. why you may ask? I've requested them to perform some work on the cosmetics:

1. Remove bottom chrome window seal and install second hand black window seal bought from a mate's W204.
2. Remove polished upper door seal, black out and re-install.
3. Remove rear trunk chrome part and install second hand blacked out part from mate's W204.
4. Removed 3rd party CF rear trunk spoiler and re-installed black OEM spoiler (the CF spoiler cracked in several places, possibly due to the heat - not durable).
5. Removed front fog light chrome casing, blacked out and re-installed.
6. Remove OEM front grille (upper and lower), received Kicherer's CF starless grille, blacked out the upper OEM chrome part as well as the lower Kicherer CF grille and installed.

It has been a week since I last saw her and have been itching to see her so on my way to work this morning, I had to drop by the body shop and take a look what's been done. I was in awe when I saw her and only managed to take one pic from my iPhone and then had to rush off to work.

I've scheduled to pick her up tomorrow afternoon after they're done in doing some detailing tomorrow morning.

As I have mentioned previously in the post, please be patient as I will be doing a photo shoot soon

^^ The only thing missing on your car is a blower that should be popping out of your hood.

Otherwise your car looks like the Mad Max of Brunei!

yazid

LOL!!!! Good one Jam! Many thanks

retrodrive

Can't wait for a nice photoshoot. Your car is the bomb!

yazid

Updated pix after installations and paint job.. hope you like them cos man.. i love how she looks now!

JamE55

Game ovah!!

Sorry if i missed it but where did you buy the CF grille?

obsidian05e55

Nice work! Looks great! Now clean those calipers..

yazid

Cheers buddy!

CF grille is from the nice folks at Kicherer, Germany. They make a quality set and when shipped, the actual perimeter is chrome as it is an OEM part! So had to bring it into the panel shop and get some obsidian black on it! They only ship the bottom piece, hence the top piece on your hood need to be painted too.

Thanks buddy!

Hehe will get them cleaned soon.. its nearing to it's 2nd birthday at the end of the month.. so will get it done up on the next trip to the car detail specialists then for the overdue shoot!

I find it odd how in Brunei you can only buy the C63, but not any other C-class model? At least that's what it's like on the MB.bn website.

Also, how come they're so expensive? My car was like 120k AUD plus taxes, then in Brunei its 180k BND but I thought there was no tax in Brunei...

yazid

mate, what are you on about? there's only like 7 C63's on the road here, well 6 now since 1 is in the panel shop from a hit on the road. there are loads of W204's too. not to mention other classes!

180K is the starting price on the road, can be negotiated if u have a good relationship and this amount includes tax! yes, there are taxes on motor vehicles. so this isn't a free tax country.. well there's no personal income tax anyways..

Girard@ACGautomotive

Yazid,

Any nice new shots of this setup? the car looks very hot from all the smaller pics!

tgoss

Just playin. Car is STUNNING!!!!

dleung22

can you give more information on the specs of your rims?
also, PLEASEEE (i think i am speaking for some fellow members also) have some photos taken further away from the car so we can see how sexy those wheels REALLY set off the car! a side shot would really help!

yazid

hey peter, yeah i've promised to get a shoot done but seriously haven't had the time to go out in the weekends and take her on the shoot. i'm sorting this out with a friend who is an awesome photog. definitely will be done before my xmas holiday in dec.

I have to say your car looks really good Yazid! When I was making the decision to get the C63 almost 3 years ago, this is the exact color and setup I imagined. I ended up going silver with no regrets, but the combo of the wheels and grille really make your car look mean yet classy at the same time!
