Personally, I enjoy the "pop" that the silver trim provides... reminds me of the Spyker
steam-punk design for some reason (loosely, don't flame me).
The Gunmetal finish on the C63 wheels will greatly stretch the time between required detailings... majority of the time my car is clean but the bright wheels appear filthy from the brake dust.
I will be running C32 brakes with Zimmermann rotors, with the calipers finished in a bright metallic silver. I've got some nice "branding" up my sleeve as well for the calipers. Should be a neat tie-in with my other custom emblems. Speaking ofe custom emblems, the ///AMG on the C63 wheels will bring the whole "Affalterbach" equation together in a subtle fashion, since the gunmetal finish conceals the logo until you're right up on it.
If you are searching for some lightweight, inexpensive wheels, check out TSW's Rotary-Forged line... the Interlagos and Nurburgring are two awesome designs that weigh basically the same as the Forgestars, with MUCH better finish quality.
Also, certain König wheels are available in Mercedes-Benz fitment... worth a look but it's more of a 'tuner' vibe.
Thanks for the info once again, still very happy with the wilhelms but once these tires are worn down I might start looking again. BEGI is the next big purchase though of all pans out. Good call on the c32 brakes as well. I walk by a c32 sport at work daily salivating at the setup and wondering how long it would take to do the swap in the parking lot
. Any particular reason your not going with the 32 drilled rotors? I figured the whole setup would be a straight swap.
