The BC wheels are stunning Sanch. I am holding off finalising my order with Stu to see the wheels on your car. I've got a few months before the estate arrives but am going to have a set of BC Forged ready to go on it on day 1.
I'm likely to go with something fairly aggressive like the HT02 as the estate is otherwise a pretty conservative design - doesn't have the aggressive stance and flares of the coupe. Looking forward to see how yours go on what will be a stunning car.

I think that style will look epic on your car!

Absolutely stunning Sanch - lifts the car to another level.
Are you happy with the size and fit? Looks like a superb job and the rim and disc contrast works so well on the black car.
Officially the meanest coupe in Oz!

Without a doubt these kill the OEM in looks and handling.
The concave on the wheels look epic in the flesh.
I just did a little before after for you
I'm going to drive around a few days let the KW settle then might lower a tad more now that the wheels are on.

Everyone has personal tastes on what they like but I'd take the new wheels everyday of the week. Transforms the car from 'average' to supercar.
Hard to pick wheels when they are one offs like these - no chance to trial them on the car before buying. I commend you Sanch for having a go at something unique and think you've nailed it. I've been pouring over wheel options for my estate and will probably go with something different than the run of the mill. Seeing yours is really helpful.

Thing is, when you first (months back) put pics of your car up Sanch I immediately thought - wheels should be black... However I now look at black cars with black wheels and think it is a step too far, that the contrast is needed, I would go so far as to say that if I now ordered a black car I would go with the "Sanch" look 
... so now you have gone somewhere between and I don't know what to think LOL. However I do like the new wheels and they certainly make the car stand out.

Plus the concave on them are addictive, personally I can't stop looking at them haha.

I think the problem here is that your car was kind of the poster child for how good these cars look basically stock, just lowered a tint and some spacers. Your car looked great. What we have now is an even better looking C63 aided by a set of aggressive yet classy looking wheels. Great job!

Well played sir, well played indeed. I love it when form and function collide and this car not only performs great but has looks to match; and then you stepped it up!!
Great job! From the pics, do the wheels look like they are slightly inwards vs your OEM's with the spacers?

The rears are the same as before but the rim are 11"so the 295s have a stretch - I'm planning to drop it a few mm that should make look much better. I could even fit a 305 next time.
The fronts, you are correct the shop recommended a 265 on a 10" it has a LOT of stretch that is why it looks very tucked. Ideally 275s would have looked better. Need to drop front another 6-10mm. Will play around with the height at the shop tomorrow.
