Beast got new shoes today
Well after a 4 1/2 weeks of waiting my wheels are finally in. Big thanks to Chris and Chan at FX Auto Design in N. Hollywood. I apologize for the crappy cell photos I will take better ones tomorrow.

Looks absolutely incredible man! :thumbsup:

Def worth the wait in my opinion! I love how the hardware is only visible either side of the twin spokes.

Very nice! Are you going to paint the calipers a different color?

Sweet wheels. Well done!

Good timing, too because I should be picking up a pair of split 5-spoke wheels pretty soon as well. Just solidifies my opinion that they look amazing on an E.

I cant decide on a color. Was thinking Lambo Orange or something wild and different.

Do people in this forum usually take their calipers to be powder coated, or are you actually painting them?

looks good and will make cleaning the calipers alot easier than say a monoblock design -

Most people prefer powder coating over painting. With powder coating the paint in baked into the caliper, it offers a more durable coating over paint.

Wow M, absolutely stunning bro! I love the split 5 spoke, I think it sets off every car body style but it looks so good on the W211. I think you made a great choice. Can't wait to see it with some painted calipers! Ditch the side markers too my man.

I'll give you a buzz this weekend to chat about amps. Until then, enjoy the beast! She looks incredible!
