My G63 got new shoes

I bought this G63 back in July, but really haven't driven it too much. Two month after I got it my wife was driving it and someone rear ended her, so it was in the shop for about a month then it pretty much stayed in the garage all winter. I ordered the wheels right before the accident and to be honest if I hadn't spent so much for the wheels, I probably would have traded the thing in. All the snow is pretty much gone now so I figured I'd put the wheels on and see how it looks!





Looks a lot better to me, pushed the tires out just past the fenders, filled in the wheel wells a little too. Ride is pretty harsh, but I knew going to 22's would be that way. My plans are to smoke the side reflector lights and rear tail lights, maybe remove the brush bar but I'm not so sure about that yet. I absolutely love the exhaust note though it roars!

Looks great. You can pick up some smoked side markers on ebay.

Is that a mat paint finish? Would look nice with a blacked out roof.

Thanks for the replies! It's magno platinum with the red/black interior. Thanks for the tip on the eBay reflectors found them and ordered. The G is a lot of fun to drive especially when you get on it the exhaust is amazing!

Is anyone interested in these HRE wheels? Selling the G so will be selling the wheels separately. Have 3,000 miles on them. Wheels, tires, tpms, all mounted and ready to go. I paid $11,500 for the setup last year, looking for $8,500 shipped.
Thanks!

Just looking for something different I guess. The G sits in the garage all the time, never really gets driven. The novelty has worn off for me, now time to get something on the other end of the spectrum...gt s, 911, idk something totally different.

The centers are brushed titanium and lips and barrels are gloss charcoal. I also had the "Hre" engraving on one of the spokes painted red to match the calipers.

nice looking G, good move removing those wheels before selling it, you will have a much easier time finding a buyer. Its not easy to get matte paint, I am waiting 5 months for mine (night magno black) so I am sure someone is looking for one quicker.
