To the untrained enthusiast's eye, you would not know any different. But, for all the AMG guys and alike, there would be splooging all over parking lots across the country

So subtle, elegant and sexy my man. I love it!!!

I have a silver E55, hmmmmmmmm

Dude, LA is all bling and no substance. Once in a while you see a nicely done car with subtle mods over there. To those who know what they are looking at, this C63 will stand out in a major way. If you put your car in downtown Dubai or Moscow on the other hand...

Even though I am an LA native, I have to kind of agree. A lot more Asantis than HREs, and I mean Asanti's on 200k cars!!! I like that my car is subtle but, as Peter said, stands out to certain people's eyes. It's like, I have a Vacheron Constantin watch, and love it because most people dont know what it is, but only know Rolex or Cartier. So when someone tells me they have no idea what type of watch I have or that my car looks stock, I just .

That reminds me, anyone know if we can fit 22" rims on a C63?
keeping it real!!!

Going to get me some of those carbon fiber 22" diamond emblem's too.


LA is only 99% bling and no substance

I doubt you will fit 22's on unless you modify the guards. I have 20's and there a pretty tight fit

I see more Bentley's and Maserati's in L.A then I see Honda's haha. Surprisingly I rarely see any C63's, yours is definitely an eye catcher.

Cant wait to see the shoot with the Turbo.

Fast Cars!
I just though of a cool idea. Although your HRE's are very nice! If you were to get a new set, a set of 3pc would be cool if you did the outer lip in brushed/machined finish, so it also has a bit of a matte finish on it too.

Thanks Neal...however, Im not really a fan of 3-piece wheels on the C63s and plus...with San Diego streets being what they are, that would just increase the likelihood of me bending them and then laying on the side of the road crying for a good 1-2hrs.

downtown is pretty beat up. I have had a 20x11 on the back on my 335i for 4 years now and so far so good. Just make sure whatever wheels you get have forged inner and outer barrels.

According to HRE, no manufacturer uses forged inner or outer barrels. They are all spun from 5454 aluminum. Only the centers are forged.

I'm not sure what part of San Diego you drive through but there are at least 10 pot holes in the UTC area alone.

multiply that by 50, and then add a million and it's half of what we have in downtown.

The roads here in San Diego for the most part used to be pretty good... however after the flooding and heavy rain from this last winter I see and find new pot holes everywhere.... I'm surprised we haven't been doing more wheel repair then we have been.
