Remember how I said I wasn't getting wheels....

Weeeeelll...........um.......wellll......... let's just say I stopped off at ACGSD, getting my AMG door pins installed and some HID bulbs for the top eyelid of our headlight, and after inquiring about the Revosport bumper, I was bullied by one of my good friends, Assan, to buy wheels. Just so I dont have to hear his jibber jabbering, I decided to pull the trigger on wheels...from a wheel company based out of Vista, CA...I liked the other two sets of wheels I had from them, so I figure, why not, maybe I should just get a third and look like a complete artist for saying I'm not getting wheels. So thanks ACG, thank you for feeding my habit, and I look forward to seeing some new HREs on my stock car in April.

19"...I forgot the name of the color, but like a brushed aluminum gloss tint....James from ACG might have the correct terminology

Well, I dont want to spoil the surprise (yes I know, who really cares what I'm getting, but from what I am told, it will be probably one of the only C63s to rock this wheel and definitely one of the very few to have the color. I will just say for now, since they just got ordered today that they are in the Monoblok family...I will post when they come in...

You're putting "HID's" in the eyelids?

My bad, sometimes I mess up the terminologies, but the yellowish light above the headlight, we took those out and I believe put some HID bulbs instead.

Very persuasive. I mean, every week at the barbershop I get asked "So, did you get rims yet, you know you are getting rims, when are you getting them?" Maybe it was just a matter of time, but when you have a shop like ACG which has great prices and gives accurate estimations of when things will be finished or how long it takes to get done, well....it's an offer I just cant.....



Fine, I will just say it, and prepare for the possible negative reactions...I got the hre P47...because I actually like my stock wheels, and wanted something similar that to me looked a whole lot cleaner.

P47's in that finish will look amazing. Have you thought about what tires you will be running?

Can't go wrong with HRE, the brushed finish is amazing. Had some M40 20's custom made in the US and shipped to Australia. Remember how I said I wasn't getting wheels....-p1010040.jpg

Those are P40(S)-- lighter than the standard P40. (the pics from ACG)

Those will look very nice.

WOW.... I love these rims...If Im gonna have a black rims, Ill go with these or the C97s like the one on Vic's car coz painting mine black is too much black coz of the mesh design . IMO I think black rims is better with a star/spokes design.
