New member/Benz owner

Good morning everyone. I'm a new member & a new Benz owner. My wife just recently purchased a Benz as well. So we're a full fledged Benz household now. I just wanted to join the site to see & find out cool stuff in regards to the Benz brand & culture.
Wife: 2015 MB 300 C Class
Me: 2014 MB CLS550

I'm looking to do some nice upgrades to this beauty in the near future. I'm planning on a Renntech ECU upgrade, Renntech lowering module, Renntech exhaust(maybe, still on the fence about fooling with the exhaust), JL Audio or Focal upgrades, & Brixton Forged Wheels or HRE Wheels. So here she is.












Here is the wife's C300. Haven't had a chance to get a really good pic of her's since it's always in the garage.

Very nice! A Renntech fan huh?

What kind of Brixton or HRE wheels have you considered?

Brixton S66 Mono Series
HRE just released a new series of wheels; RS1M. They're monoblocks as well.

Good choice. They're special ordered only at the moment, if you wanted to pursue them we could definitely help out. I know you're still deciding stuff but if you got any questions about what kind of stuff you could do, I'd be glad to help, or Jacky knows practically everything about aftermarket MB items.
