Glossiest black car I have ever seen....

....and it's mine

Bryan @ DriveandShine.co.uk did a fine job today - the car was absolutely filthy, and now looks 100x better than when I first collected it, after the MB dealer valet.









...no more complaints about my dirty pipes now

Scorcher, I have a quick question for you:

I'm loving the 65 rims on your car. Where do you recommend getting a pair (through a dealer or someone selling them)? Also, about how much do they cost?

Great looking whip!

Agreed. Those wheels look sweet. What size are they and the tires?

I was once told my stock 18s were around $900 each at the dealer. When Discount Tire damaged a wheel, they called the dealer and would have been able to get a replacement for around $300. Go figure.

They are 19" AMG Styling IVs in Titan - I bought them from eBay.de, and they cost around £2,339 - thats around $4250

Tyres are Continental Sport Contact 2 275/30 R19 96Y rear and 245/35 R19 93Y fronts
