Have u thought about using spacers on ur oem 19's.. I just installed mine, and they make a huge difference. I took before/after spacers pics.. Will post tonight as I don't know how with my iPhone.

The P40's are the best choice by far!!
I agree the titanium gray may look good also.
I feel your pain. Started with stock, then Forgeline,(sold) then HRE(sold), then custom drag wheels(for sale), then Forgestars(8 of them). When will it end???
Already looking at the carbon fiber HRE's that are back out.

HRE in CF sounds hyper expensive.

Ok. Meng, how does Fung feel about the oem 19s?
It's weird because I've seen lots of other multispoke wheels on c63s that I love but the oem euro style ones aren't just "unattractive" to me, they're hideous. These 18s in a 19" replica would be badass. But then i DO like these...

I actually have a bunch of your pictures saved on my desktop of your car in 18s mode. The 18oem style look so mean on those cars when they're lowered. 19s would be a perfect size for them, for sure.

Meng-
I would be so happy to take the multi-spoke Euro wheels off your hands!!!!! I have always wanted those wheels, just doing a little research on brake and heat release, as there are so many metal fins radiating out all over. I have a very nice open wheel design now, Forgestar CF5v, but the kid in me had wanted and will be the multi-spoke Euro OEM design.
Wanna mount the tires then sell Meng??

PS. Fob is in the mail and out of my hands. You will be PUMPED!!! So, sell me those!!

I used to be not attracted to the OEM 19's either, but I changed... it might be due to my old age cuz I start to stay away from 5 spoke wheels to a more classy mesh or multispokes.

Jordan, your Forgestar is going to look sick!! You wont like the multispoke after this. LOL
Thanks again for the key fob, I will let you know when I will receive it. And let me know when you get my gift as well.

You are correct, any size, and color are $2500 each. However, if you are looking for weight reductions for better performance then this is the ticket. These wheels will probably weigh about half to two thirds of the standard wheels. Lighter wheels REALLY make a huge difference.
I really like the stock multi spokes and the HRE's!!
Good luck with your MANY choices.
Whatever you pick will look great, always does!!

Dad, thank you so much for the kind words, it's really appreciated coming from u Master Baller!! J/k lol Wow, 10k$ for a set of HRE in CF is craziness.. But I'm sure it's worth it for someone like u who likes to track ur car.
Tim & CoolPh, my brother TL should be around 200k km as well. Great winter car with winter tires. That year, the cost of that car was insanely cheap @ ~32k$.. And we got the skirts package thrown in for free. Lol I heard they revised the price higher the second year. Lol
