Carbon wrapped inner door sills
This is one of the most creative ideas ive seen so far!... i cant lie im tempted to copy on mine...incase i do i wanted to bring it to your attention first as well compliment it.... in any case my car is more pearl than white... in your opinion how do you think it will look???

Thanks! Will upload more next month when some more details will be getting done 
Thanks! There are 0 issues running 305s. In fact I could run 315s with 0 issues too. Even 325s would work on a 12j but some minor rubbing would occur, would need to trim a tiny bit of plastic. The black series on the wheel boutique website is on 12j 325 rears and has the same sizes as my fronts. Not sure why I can't lower my car in the front anymore then I have now but other cbs's can with the same front sizes and have no problems. Must be my Öhlins suspension is slightly wider then the stock KWs.
I'm fairly happy with my stance thx, but might buy another set of HREs and get wider rears and slightly skinnier fronts with a slightly more aggressive off set.
Not sure yet but thinking about it haha!

I think your set up is perfect, why don't you just order wheels for the front?
Either way, looks great. Definitely the best CBS I've ever seen.

Well I wish I could take the credit for the creativity but I saw the carbon wrapped door jams on another CBS and copies myself lol. I think it would look great on your car too!

That is really good to know. I've ordered the coupe and it has 20 x 10.5 in the rear I want to put 295s or 305s (comes with 285s) to make it more aggressive.
I think your set up is perfect, are you order wheels just for the front?

If I do get new wheels I'll get a new full set and maybe sell the current set.
I'm not sure if you can fit 305s on a 10.5j so please double check.
Also did you get a CBS coupé? The rear wheel base is a lot bigger thean the regular coupé. A great member on the forum to ask about wheel fitment is Roswell. Plus there are other members and threads with fitment info. Good luck!

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I've ordered the new C63s AMG coupe, which is replacing my current W205.
I will definitely do my research before changing the tires or might just hold off and get a completely new set of wheels from HRE or ADV1 after seeing your set up!

Done a few other subtle cosmetic interior and exterior mods to my car. Will upload more pics soon but here is a before and after of my wheels. I took out the original HRE wheel caps for custom ordered HRE wheel caps that I had painted red/ satin bronze to match, took out the silver valve stems and replaced with black ones and painted the HRE engraved logo on the side of the wheel red. Love doing little details. (One of the pics is the front wheel and one the rear but you can still see the subtle changes) will add some profile shots and other pics later

Love ur attention to details Rob!
The red engraved HRE is what I always wanted to do but couldn't justify paying 300$ for it lol
The caps looks great & unique too although I'm a big fan of the classic HRE blue/red/white cap.
