Would like to share my new rolling babiesss...

They are Rohana Concave RC10 wheels. The size are 20x9 and 20x11. Actually, they are wider than the original one, so that the rears are super deep concave. I have been waiting for 7 months, but it is worth the wait. Not too fancy, but I changed them from something normal to something unique. At least, they are unique through my eyes. First, the wheel arrived like this:




After, I did all the wrap by myself. They turn into this:

At night, they look like this:

correct me if im wrong but is there some kind of CF look wrap on the face? IMHO the flat black is the best look...the red accents look kind of tacky.

I love that rear concave...definitely tuned for some pics on your ride.

Very nice! I love the concave wheels that have the spokes pulled right out to the edge of the lip! Can't wait to see them on the car. Keep us updated.

@kustom2k1: The rear is about 28.4 lbs, so the front may be about 27-28, I guess.
@My idea is to make the car looking sporty, but not luxurious. There is a lot of luxurious CLS out there, so too boring for me. I also like color, so that why I put red ascent on the rims as well as some red part on my car. And yes, it is CF wrap on the lip. I like the pattern of the wrap, so that is why. It is personal taste though. Yeh, the rear def looks deep. I thought if the front can be same, that would be awesome too.
@custom100: Thanks. Yes, i'm still waiting for the tire, so I will def update later.

Wow. I like this look. As long as the rest of your exterior is subtle these will look killer.

Yup, my car is black and red from head to toes. I tried to put to wheels on yesterday, but I didn't not know I need a tuner style set of bolts. So now I have to wait for a while for the bolts to come. Jzz..

I'd personally start with the pinstripe trim on the top of the car (roof, hood, trunk etcc)...

definitely very unique, and as long as you like it thats all that matters...is your grille red CF? or is that a vinyl wrap? Is that fender vent part of the fender (i.e. functional) or is it a stick-on?

Personally, I would remove all of the red accents on the body of the car. The body kit how have is sick, the wheels are sick....the murdered-out black theme would suit your car really nice

Yowzers. As long as you like it, is all that matters. In my opinion, sometimes less is more. This is what I would consider one of those "sometimes" moments. Your project appeared to start off strong, but your final execution falls flat. Way way flat.

whatever floats your boat dude, but personally I think it's a sin what you did to such a beautiful machine.

THanks all your comments.
@Pelican: Yup, that is wat i think to take off the red strip too. The side skirts are supposed to be black with a really small red ascent, but the body shop misunderstood my idea.
@M1RAG: The grille is covered by real carbon fiber. The fenders have the vents on it though (no stick on).
@UDWANIT2: In my mind, I thought red ascent would be beautiful, but It finally comes out pretty bad after I put on the new wheels and put on red stripe in reality. Just have fun with it a little bit, then I can take of red strip whenever i want. At least I can view my car in different ways to make it as best as I can.

Please for the love of everything take the red off the whole car. If it was all black everything it would be awesome. I wouldn't tint the windows so as to give it a little contrast. It also needs to be lowered as well. Looks like a 4x4. Good concept at the start but poor execution. Looks like a Autozone car now.

I have to agree. Most if not all of the red needs to come off, I would definitely take all the pin striping off. Leave the red Brabus, and the spoiler, I think the rims should have stayed all black.

I would remove all of the red.
If you want to do red accents. i would do the side mirrors/ cups and a red front emblem/ star. keep everything black and lower the car. they'll keep it agressive and a sleeper at the same time.
