Have fitted these HRE Wheels to my C63, not fully sure if I'm sold on the black on black. What's the thoughts of the

I have always thought anthracite coloured wheels suit a black car better. I saw a Cayman at the local Porsche centre with that combo looked just right.
My SL63 has titanium coloured wheels that suit it quite well

I was thinking the same when I bought mine, I'm very glad the edges are polished to break all the black up.



Although I do like this

Not if you're over 35. Under that you just look like a drug dealer IMO.

Two bags then please mister. laugh

Only kidding - it looks great, but I couldn't get away with it here in leafy Cheshire. I opted for the lightly smoked wheels on my 5.5.

Did you get the 63 kit fitted or did you buy it done? It looks great.

Very nice, and that wheel colour really suits the black car.

You have no idea how long I looked for wheels...ended up with these as they're around 9kg a corner (lighter than stock 507 wheels) and half the price of the velos they share designs with. Seal/matte grey. I've kept the black 507 rims for track work smile
