Absolutely stunning work, well done! I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for guys that go the custom route.

BTW, have you thought about buying the BS wheels to complete the look. Or even a nice set of HRE monoblock SC series would look sick on your car.

Thanks for the compliment!! Especially coming from the wheel specialist/finatic.

Did you decide about your next set of wheels?

I'm still in the recovery mode from the body shop. When I fully recover I'll look at other wheels. Problem is I have a collection already and they don't fit anything else so selling them will be impossible now. I already have three sets of the F14. Four rear that are 18 x 11 for road racing carrying the Hoosier 315-30's and now these that are 19 x 12 with the 345-30 for car shows.

What do all you wheel specialist recommend??

LOL, I'm no wheel specialist.. just changing wheel like I change clothes.

I understand your situation, custom built wheels are almost impossible to sell. Dont take me wrong, your F14 looks great on your car & the 18's must be very functional on the track as well... but I do see your car with a nice set of 20's glossy black HRE P43SC which is very similar to the BS design. "All show no go" for car shows. LOL

I love the way your car is..the wing would just spoil the elegant yet scary styling.

What if you replaced the AMG badge on the rear with a RBA badge for "Red Brown Arrow"

It's Dad's rear 1/4 flair, his version sits higher than oem, IE look @ OEM rear fender it's about an inch or more LOWER making it look much less aggressive. Dad's hit's it way better than oem MB blk ser.. Dad's version also appears tad wider than OEM.. Diff look's like reg C63 vs blk ser smaller rear 1/4's etc..

Honestly... Your car looks better than the real deal!

I'm surprised that this has been only brought up once. Couldn't you have incorporated the ducts for the breaks into the air ducts below them? You should make caps for the brake ducts for shows.

The air duct on the passenger side is completely taken up by the new larger BS oil cooler and duct. The center section is all taken up as well. The drivers side could have been used but then it would look funny with one side and not the other. It looks better in person because the vents are the same as the lower grills. It actually looks okay with the brake ducts where they are.

Will look at more wheels soon.

Fast Cars!

I somehow just saw this thread! I looked at all the pics from page 1. I do not even know what to say?!?! The car came out better then I would have ever imagined! Props to you for having the ***** to take on an incredible build. The end result is stunning!
