Hey Hameed,

Those are Zone 1 "brushed titanium," which is machine brushed with a tinted
ceramic clearcoat sprayed which gives them a titanium look. Looked great
with the carbon fiber details!

Specs are 20x9.0 w/ 245/30-20 + 20x11 w/ 285/25-20
Tires are Falken FK-452s (great tires!)

Yes that titanium look does look amazing Bob.

You have a great sense of modding style!

This is probably and old question - how much modding of the fenders did you need to do to accomodate those wheels? How much do the wheels weigh? Under 25lbs?

Edit: Do you have this fantastic image in high res format? I need some new wallpaper!

Thanks again, guys. The car continues to snap heads wherever I go... it gets
WAY more attention than the CLS on 20s we have here at the office. I can't
stop at the gas station without someone asking about the car - this is exactly
what it was built to do.

Unfortunately, now I'm scared to drive it to clubs or anywhere that's at all
questionable... for that, we take my brother's car or I rent a car.

On the carbon fiber; in person, the proportions of these sections looks
terrific. The concern on the rear bumper was that if the c/f strip
was too small, you wouldn't be able to see the texture. In the sunlight
the c/f weave has incredible depth. Visually, we were trying to create
the look of a rear diffuser, and in this, I think we succeeded.


Here's a different look with another set of wheels I had on the car for a quick minute.
Dang Bob, thats another HOT setup.
Love the wheels.
