I've just seen a picture on your obsidian black thread. They'll look amazing on a blacked out car.

Great setup mate. What colour are those rims exactly?

SuperNik

The wheels have a smoked clear coat over a brushed finish.

RHRAUS

Thanks SuperNik. They look awesome mate. I might consider something similar for my Selenite gray coupe eventually.

Beautiful combination! The Vossen look perfect on the Estate.

I managed to get a few more pictures today while a photographer took some. I'll post the pro pictures up when I get them.

This turned out amazing!

C63S Estate

Car looks fantastic - congratulations.

How are you finding the ride with the 20s and KW sleeve kit? Is it noticeable harder or not far from the original ride on 19s?

I'm running the 20 veeman fs23 from LK Performance on my s class there a really similar looking wheel!

The car looks so much better on those wheels it fills the arches great!

SuperNik

There's a noticeable difference. Comfort mode no longer exists, it's become sport mode. Sport mode has become sport+ and sport+ has become 10-20% stiffer.
The plus side is that the car now reacts a little quicker.
I could see that some people wouldn't like the ride if they already think it rides harshly.
The car is also easier to break traction but more controllable when sideways.

That's really helpful insight thanks, interesting to hear the difference is so noticeable.

I'm weighing up wheel options and am pretty set on staying with 19s just cause I am worried the ride will be too harsh to live with. I am intending to lower the car slightly with the KW sleeve kit and just hope the ride still stays acceptable. Guess we'll find out!

Does the ride get harder the lower you drop the KW sleeve kit?

SuperNik

Maybe I'm being a little bit picky about the ride. My wife hasn't noticed any difference at all. Or that the car has different wheels.

RHRAUS

Well as long as she recognizes parking signs you will be right, unlike poor old Benzshill on the other thread.

SuperNik

She doesn't drive so I'm safe

Hey SuperNik how are you finding it after a week or so of running? Debating whether I can live with 20s on my estate but am worried the ride will be too hard to live with. How are you finding it ?

Your estate looks amazing BTW. I hope to recreate one very similar in Australia when mine arrives.

SuperNik

In all honesty the car is certainly a fair bit stiffer buts it's difficult to say whether it's the larger wheels or the KW HAS.
20" wheels definitely look a lot better on the car than the 19's though.

SBH-

car looks spectacular ! those wheels are perfect !

Would love to know what offsets you are running if you have that info? That is the best looking estate I have seen. Wheel fitment is perfect!

LOL vossen won't share that info.

Trying to be the HRE for the douchebros

Mike@Vossen

Thanks. We lead the industry with our fitments.

What does that mean lol....

I can find the specs...give me a sec...

SuperNik

I'm not sure of the offsets but the front could afford to be half an inch wider. The rear is just about perfect.
