They “C” me rollin’….

You may have noticed if you’ve flipped through the pages of European Car Magazine or browsed various Euro forums or social media outlets that there is a growing trend of European car guys making the move to rock Japanese wheels on their cars. The quality, the design, the history and the thirst to be different are some of the driving forces that may be the cause of the change in direction for euro car tuners out there.

Here is a look at Kyle Rotondo’s Mercedes Benz C63 AMG. This is one car I’ve always loved… classy on the outside but a beast at heart! The lines of this car give it such an aggressive stance and the sinister black paint and accents go awesome and contrast nicely with a set of SSR Professor Sp3s.

What you’re looking at here is a set of 19″ SSR Professor Sp3s that started off with a polished lip and silver face… was then sent over to JSutai for a little re-design. The barrels and face and centercap were finished in a battleship grey and even the valves and wheel bolts were refinished to black! The huge Brembo brakes were also refinished from the factory silver to a color that is very similiar to the brakes from the R35 GTR.

When trying to figure out what disk, width and offset Kyle was to run, The massive brakes had to be measured and templates used to figure out what the perfect disk was. Tthe fact that the car is DailyDriven (see what I did there?), we couldn’t go too extreme with the width and offsets so that the fenders wouldn’t get destroyed and a good size tire could be utilized. It was decided that a set of 19×9 +44 Hp and 19×10 +49 NR was the ticket!

Upon closer inspection, you’ll also see that every polished/chromed piece on the car was refinished to a nice gloss black. This subtle refinish and ride height gives a the car a mean, sportier look that would require grown men to ditch their boxers for some Depends. 

ModeCarbon Front Splitter, Rear Diffuser and Decklid Spoiler are some subtle enchancements done to further accentuate the car’s beautiful lines.
