I think the forgestars looked more aggressive but these wheels give it a more complete Black Series look.
I normally would say that the wing is too much, but it definitely serves its purpose here.

Congrats Keith on completing the project.
It was a long way and no shortcuts were taken here - I've followed this build from day 1.
It's time for some road racing
Now you just need 2010 mirrors to complete the look

yes please make those BS wheels gloss black or matte. Black matches your car's colour more

I believe the weight is around 36xx now without the passenger front seat and the C/F drivers seat. No driver of course.

Thank you! - the difficult part is people will ask what it is and explaining takes too long.

I REALLY hope the coolers are an improvement. I'll be on Sebring Feb 23/24th so I 'll know more then.

i'm curious of the rear fenders.. did you go oem or fabricate them? looks beefier for some reason. I'm going to guess fabricate cause the whole back quarter doesnt really exist due to real BS being 2 door
All the parts are OEM MB. They did stretch the rear out just a little bit to accomodate the larger tires and wheels.

looks awesome
The wheels are stock AMG 19" BS wheels. Fronts are 9" with 255-35 and the rear are 11.5"(Had the 9-1/2" widened) with 345-30 Michelin Cups. I have the KW Club sport suspension.

Thanks - means a lot coming from the guy with the best looking wagon on the planet!! I really struggled with the wheels and the colors. I really love these wheels the way they are. Since I need a track set of wheels I will probably make them gloss black.

Thank you! - you've been around a long time and have seen the changes.

Guys, I have to say that the brakes are the best upgrade I've made. They stop effortlessly and on a dime. Can't wait to try them on the track.

What wheels do you recommend in gloss black?

Have a blast at Sebring. Very interested to get more feedback on the brakes.

Well done Keith!!

Wow! That is the most impressive build I've ever seen of an MB anywhere!! Well done!
Your build is like watching a TV series, with cliffhangers too! I don't want this show to end. :-(

In my opinion don't black out the wheels. The contrast is perfect.
