Default My E63 has New Shoes!

Thanks to Darwin at Sonic Motorsports.

Specs: 20x9 front 20x10 rear VIP Modular VR05 brushed centers chrome lip with Vredenstein tires 245 front & 285 rear.

My car is freshly polished (dealer "washed" it and put tons of scratches), but my camera skills aren't very good so the gloss from the paint and chrome doesn't show as well as in person. Once my bro comes up here with his supercamera we will do a photo shoot.

I have the P30 package so it has the two piece rims like these which I don't particularly like and are around $2,000 each from the dealer.

.

Plus some people have been developing cracks on these two piece MB rims. There is a thread in MBworld with a list of people whose rims have cracked.

Gravity cast rims FTL

VIP modulars over OEM wheels FTW! The wheels look great with the monstrous AMG calipers in the background. Sweet ride .
