Gunmetal on Silver E63
Please tell me what you honestly think about gunmetal on silver.
I didn't want black wheels for some reason, as I see it everywhere.
Forgestar F14's
-18x8.5 FR; Michelin PS2 245/40/18
-18x10REAR; Toyo T1R 285/35/18 *Maybe a bit too big, but I love the extra grip. I can't lower the car all the way in the rear, I start to touch at -1.4 to -1.6.
Anyone else running 10" rears with ELM? Should I go with 285/30?
ELM V2 remote setup: -2.0FR and -1.2 in rear, and no rub now after I think I wore some of the edges of the Toyo's by riding low

Emoving: Your car is hot! I was gonna say something about it being the only other Gunmetal on Silver AMG i've seen. But now we've got btmontalban too, who's got a sexy *** whip.
Btmontalban: For a second there, I honestly thought you took a pic of my car or something, TWINS! Then I noticed no Purple Heart plates.
I'm loving these a lot more than the old chrome stockies, which you can see in the pics.
Glad you guys like em. I am in love with them!

Thanks again for the compliments everyone, I do sometimes wish I found a flint grey E63.
I still wonder how the ride would have been if I went with 19's. 20's are just a bit too much for me, as I still want ride comfort, I hate AZ gutters that are inconveniently placed at intersections. I also figured the cost of some 19" rubber, compared to 18's. Remember I'm a 22 year old retired soldier.

Hey, they look great
. I'm in Gilbert and have the 19" black forgestars, and the ride is excellent except for when I slam it. If you are thinking about going up in size then don't worry

i cant remember who the actual mfg is. i did some searching and places that used to carry them, 323motorsports, sonictuning, and a few others, dont seem to have thm anymore. They are a bit portly just over 30lbs for the rears. They have held up to my daily commute through LA's pothole riddle streets and hwys. The rears have a nice concave to them also, probalby similar to the forgestar, but its a more pronounced/steep as it gets closer to the middle.
