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...

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.

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

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.
