Yup way higher for future years. Plus the 99s were made in Japan. It's only a personal observation but it seems that I see more 99s on the road still than all the other years for this gen combined

Craiger

Meng, car looks great! I actually like the look of the OEM 19s on your car better than on mine. Something about the titanium against the white looks got although your HREs are sick!!! Can't wait to see it in person next Spring!

Roswell

Here is the pic that was missing as comparison for the rear with 10mm spacers vs no spacers:

Roswell

Craig, thank you so much for the great deal on the wheels.. They are mint like u promised. They also look good on ur coupe, but it's all about the spacers who makes a huge difference. See u soon!

Craiger

Ya, unbelievable how much of a difference the spacers make. My new setup will be modeled after yours exactly, perfect flush-ness, love it.

Roswell

Thx Craig for the kind words.. Ur BS conversion will not be completed w/o the right drop & wheels flushness. Lol good luck!!

crazy1eye

Yup, I really like those OEM 19's, looks good!

Next time I'm going with a multi spoke.

ShaneN.

man, that car even makes the wheels i don't like look good. i think the 19" is a perfect size with a little drop. i actually really like how it looks now that i go back and look at oem 18s on the first page. 19s fit the wheel well so much better.

i find when you guys use spacers in the rear or have proper set offset aftermarket wheels that the rear fender flare "appear" bigger. well, it just doesn't look way more wimpy then the front.

damn, I need to hurry up and get one. maybe a new years gift.

edit: how dark is your tint on each window? is it the same tint as pictured in your sig?

Roswell

Thx Shane, I'm glad u like the end result. The drop & spacers makes a huge difference!! Even on oem 18's.

As for the tint, it's the same as in the sig (35% all sides, 20% rear windshield). In the pic above, they look darker cuz my brother ISF is parked right besides. Lol

jmrscuderia

Wow they look really great on the Benz, I had the same wheels P40 21" on 2010 750 LI

Roswell

^^ Schweet!! You have a pic of the full car? Look wicked!!

Guilty

I'm pretty sure I saw this car at a Shell Station in Brickell right off 95. It had also very dark tints...

Roswell

I gave my wife a DSLR Nikon D5100 as Xmas gift... so I decided to try it by shooting my car while warming it up from winter storage. What you think?

Merry Christmas everyone!!

olszowa12

Meng, You need a pair of 2012 taillights. They change the rear of the car completely.
Also I think I would about painting the trunk spoiler fully in white - IMO it would look cleaner.

I am really surprised You haven't broken those side skirts yet but maybe that's just my bad experiences on Polish roads.
Great job

Roswell

Thx Matt for the feedbacks!!

I actually like the old tails better cuz the new ones are more flat. Plus my reverse light are lightly tinted (hard to see on the pic cuz the strong sunshine) so it adds the 3D effect even more. LOL

As for the trunk spoiler, knowing myself I will eventually paint it all white once I get tired of it... or get a different trunk spoiler. LOL Surprisingly, I got this WOW look all the time when ppl see the fading paint scheme on the spoiler, my bodyshop did a great job & didnt charge me for it... so it stays for now. LOL

My sideskirts along with my front lip is looking like new cuz this car is my garage queen & weekend car. LOL

Mort

Meng the car looks great. No snow that has lasted here yet but more on the way. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Roswell

Thx Mort for the compliment!

You guys have mild winter in TO compared to us O-town peeps!

Merry XMas to u & ur family as well.

Pickles

I see a few of you guys using spacers.....which I would NEVER use on ANY car.
Spacers are illegal in Australia, and I believe, for very good reason....and that is, and it stands to reason, that with longer wheel studs, more offset (wheel is further out from hub/bearing/ suspension strut etc etc), more strain is being placed upon these, and all other suspension components.
It would be interesting to ascertain AMG's view on "spacers".
Like I said, they are illegal in Australia.
Cheers, Pickles.

Roswell

There always be this big debate on spacers.. Ppl who runs them w/o problem will tell u it's perfectly fine vs ppl who had bad experience with them will tell u against it.

In my situation, I'm not tracking the car & actually not driving the car much as a matter of fact as it is my week-end car.. So I'm not worry about it at all. I got the right extended lugs, so it works perfectly.

I used spacers on 2 of my previous cars with various wheels, and again no problem. But I respect the fact they are illegal in Australia.

Mort

Haha...I am not from TO but on the East Coast outside Saint John NB. Because we are near the Bay Of Fundy we do have a milder winter than say Fredericton but can get our fair share of snow and cold weather.

Roswell

Oh really? Mort I always thought you were from TO.. my bad LOL!!

You must be turning head like crazy with your CF wheels in your city. LOL New pics of your car is overdue bro!!

LuisC55AMG

HRE's look nice, but those OEM are awesome! Man I want those too...
What was the price for those OEM19's?

Faris63

Meng your C63 looks sick on those multispokes

Roswell

Faris, thx buddy.. I'm just copying ur former beast! Too bad u sold it!!

Luis, u will not believe me if I tell u I only paid 2700$+95$ shipping . Lol
Yeah, I got a good deal since the tires only have ~2000km on them. Thx to Master of BS conversion: member Craiger!! I had to wait 2 months though from the day he received his car, to his break-in, to his completed BS conversion... But it was worth the wait for a mint set.

I had the opportunity to buy 2 other sets at 2500$, but I passed so when I saw this barely new set, I just had to jump on it. So keep ur eyes open, start a WTB thread & kiss ur lucky star.

jnsn78

Roswel, your car look so nice, congrats for the job realized!
My question: which tires sizes do you use on your OEM multispoke 19'?
I'm interesting for spacers, but only if they don't give rubbing on fenders
