Satin Silver Mercedes C63 on HRE C97

You might have seen these pics from Matt, on his 3rd set of HRE Wheels. He selected a set of Comp97 wheels for his Mercedes C63. The Lamborghini green brakes really shine through the split 5 spoke design. He had ACG help him with building this satin Silver finish.

One of the baddest C63's around!
All those involved with this build did a killer job.

Unless there is someone else with these exact wheels on a C63, I have seen this car before. It's just the way I would do it so obviously I love it. Wheels have presense without being too blingy. I probably wouldn't do the stepped lip thing on a wheel smaller than size 21 (makes spokes look too short) but that is a personal taste issue and nitpicky.

Marvelous set up. Great looking car.

Now I just have to do a photoshoot with the Orange Calipers. Thanks Lon for the post and the related comments! And to correct Lon on one thing, these are my 4th set of HREs! Like crack cocaine, HREs are a pure addiction!!

Not a fan of the wheels They remind me of the stock ML63 wheels (W164), but i can of course see why people (most probably) find them beautiful. The car is great though Makes me think if i should lower my car as well.

Love this car! ACG and Chapparone FTW.

I wish you didn't change calipers so quick! James will have some verde ACG decals today that would have looked great on a side window.

Regardless, looks rediculous with the orange as well

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...and I wouldnt have done many of the things to my car had I not seen some of the mods look so sick on others' cars. If my taste in mods can help spur more people to doing the same to their car, great!

Thanks! Coming from you (considering I have seen your E55 up close and personal), I take that as a great compliment. I liked the green calipers, but the orange ones really pop for me in a different way.
