Some new different AMG Wheels ...

Put some new wheels on over the weekend since I'm ditching my CLK/SLK 17" AMG wheels.

These are C63 Wheels - 18X8 & 18X8.5

I might consider letting these go too

Here are some pictures - iPhone only shots at the time taken this morning.

Those look good!
I actually thought for the longest time your old wheels were 18's? I guess they looked bigger than normal 17's...

Your new wheels look hot though! Especially if the inside of the spokes were black like your car! (maybe)

In my opinion they are too tenuous for a W124.
Especially with AMG trim.

BTW: You have nice brake rotors? Are they original MB?

BTW 2: You should paint the window rail of the rear door in black!

They look dirty in that color....I'd either re-paint them a bright silver or black...

yes, They are Original OEM AMG Brakes.

I would paint the window trim in black but I'm done spending money on this car. Time for something new - I might even part it out soon or get rid of it.

if you're selliing the car, then i would keep those wheels on it... they don't look too bad, and there's a cachet to 'original C63 wheels' to most buyers...

I have no clue yet - It all depends on what car I up up getting and depending on the car I might just keep this to put the miles on it.

I think parting it out would be a smarter choice lol

Are you still thinking about selling yours or no?

Please don't part out. You're car looks great. But if you do part out, I would like to call dibs on your ///AMG bodykit. Hopefully you'll find a way to keep the car, at least as a daily driver. I don't post much (I mostly read), but your knowledge and help with the W124 is appreciated.

Car needs a tune up and the dreaded timing chain work done - not fun!

Well if youre not spending any more money on her than I guess youre never gonna upgrade those brakes so I can have them.

Unless you end up parting, which I can't really see you doing. If you do though, I've had dibs on those brakes for over a year now

Oh and the C63 wheels look pretty decent. I wonder how your girlfriend's HRE's would look if you stole em.

Sorry Zorro, I already called dibs on the body kit. But hopefully he won't part it out. We'll see.

Goodluck if you decide to sell. I couldn't even get $4000 for my car a year ago! Those C63 wheels are hot. better imo than those CLK/SLK ones.

lots of cars
I think you should drive it till you can't drive it no more and just part it out to me...lmao

Dibs on the hood .... i got the side skirts finally.

naw, but the market for mbz is really good right now as a buyer. I got a w140 for cheap but im just going to flip it. I really wanna get a 300ce i saw but im not sure if i want to jump on that yet. It's pretty stock and 1 owner car.
