Do you have any more details on the wheels, such as a model number or where you found them? Is there an AMG website that lets you view the various wheels they offer?
Those wheels look very nice from a 45 degree angle. You can see some concave effect and they are optional 19" wheels you can get from your dealer I suppose.

Keep up the good work!
White is too common on the E coupe for every place I suppose so I went with black. The lines of the E coupe look actually quite good on black but must have the AMG body kit.

AMG Multispokes:

http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/mer...poke_wheel_454

19" 7 twin spokes black/diamond cut:

http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/mer...oke_wheel_1741

They're different to the ones on the C-Coupe/Sedan as they're 18" 7-twins not 19"

hey dr.nad do u have any pic of a black e coupe with the multi spoke wheel ? I think it looks more aggressive than the 7 twin spoke. I'm thinking to change mine if not I will pray the whole wheel in gloss black.

Just installed the DTM front lip from efan. The front end looks more muscular and aggressive now. Below is some photos I took today. I'm going to have a photo shooting with efan's E coupe next week. Will upload some photos afterward.

The C63 exhaust was a direct bolt on? Or did it need some modifications?

Yes, it was a direct bolt on. The clamps are in the same place. My car sounds like a C63 now after deleting the second cat and resonator but the sound can be meaner if I gut the mufflers.

GORGEOUS. Although the exhaust still sticks out about 2-3 inches too far in my opinion. Should be almost flush with diffuser. Also, don't remove the chrome surround on the DRL's, paint them, removing them makes it look unfinished and less clean.

The tips could have pushed in but need to weld new clamps on which I didn't want to do I just stuck with the original clamps for lesser work. I might paint the chrome surround on the DRL in matte black when I do it to the window trim too, perhaps later.

A bit to race look for me,but it looks very good.As told to DR.NAB, i am a fan of 20,s.I am running 19 wheels on winter.I think your car really needs 20 wheels.When i look at the first,second and fifth picture i wanted to see a more aggressive offset and bigger wheel.JUST MY OPINION.

I would put on 20" on my car but not in the country where I'm living because they are so many pot holes on the road. It would be very pumpy as a daily driver.

love it looks really good, if you keep those rims keep them two-tone they look great - may be get some spacers as Gavro said to make the fitment look more aggressive as you can see on the 2nd picture the rear wheel is tucked into the fender, could do with being level with the fender

Thanks for your comment. I admit I used to like my old lips more but after looking and looking over the new lip, now I love my current lip. It has much more meaty looking from both side and front making the front end looks very big. Perhaps will post more close front and side shots later then you'll agree with me.

Hey Dr. Nab can you refer a link with correct H&R spacer parts to me as I couldn't find the right parts for my wheels on the web. Perhaps I will need 15mm front and 10mm rear. Thanks for your help.

Agree with Nab, keep those wheels in two tone, or at least not in full black. Those in gunmetal should be cool too Here is a pic of a friends C207 with those 19'':



This one was tastefully modded too

P.S. He sold the car last year.

Here you go, remember you'll need extended lugs and locking lugs by the relative size of spacer lug type M14x1.5 (27mm standard length so add to this from the spacer size you choose)


2055665 10mm per side
http://www.racetechperformance.com/P...ode=HR-2055665


3055665 15mm per side
http://www.racetechperformance.com/P...ode=HR-3055665


4055665 20mm per side
http://www.racetechperformance.com/P...ode=HR-4055665


Hope that helps

Which size spacers were you after and did you want the lug bolts too? I have a supplier in Germany who deals direct with H&R and can ship worldwide so if you let me know which you want I can give him a call and get a price for you.
