You can never go wrong with a classic 5 star type wheel. Those wheels look so close to factory, most people wouldn't notice they're aftermarket wheels. I love everything you're doing. From the cars, to your garage setup! Just KILLER!!! Keep up the awesome work 👍👏👏👏
he's gotta find that project that catches a bunch of attention ... unfortunately they have to be wrecked junk that needs a shit ton of frame work and whatnot it seems these days, or the "will it runs" on old stuff that has been parked in a field for 25 years seems to do well but that's hard to do in the northeast because all our old stuff is rusted out junk
Watching this series made me look these cars up! They’re not bad priced and I can also do majority of any work that needs to be done on them! Definitely my next purchase!
Same car as me! First things i did were tint the windows, fix the comand knob, and blacked out the trim and emblems. I used hyperdip for the rear emblems though. It was super easy and I didn't have to remove anything.
I have a set of the OEM 19 inch twin spoke wheels and tires sitting in my garage. They came with my 2013 e63, everytime I think about selling them I change my mind.
I got the same car in July and did the command knob fix as well. I couldn't for the life of me get the connector unplugged so I ended up doing it while it was still in the car which was annoying. I see you removed the gear selector which was a good idea.
Hey awesome video! I think you should keep the emblems chrome. I think what would look cool is if you kept the logos chrome and did a slight tint on the tail lights. The chrome logos would go with the chrome wheels. Keep the dope content comin! 👍
I would do the silver Mercedes center caps like you mentioned but re-add the classic Mercedes hood Ornament. The back looks good, just needs a black license plate frame because that white plate is an eyesore. Maybe a rear window spoiler. Overall, pretty nice!
Another great video. Beautiful car. Must turn a lot of heads when you're driving her. For what it's worth, I like the badges and grill as is. They provide just the right accents.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the grille. I have a quartz blue e550 and it has the panoramic roof so it’s black and with all the chrome and silver wheels I feel like there’s too much going on so I want to tone it down a bit with black accents
Hey Man Great Video! Regarding the Wheels Look for the ones from AMG that came with the AMG Pack on the C207 Facelift. 5-Spoke Design with some Concave Features. 235/35/19 on the Front and 255/30/19 on the Back
The car looks incredible. Great job! I do have a question for you Chris. Being a resident of NH. as you are, I thought it wasn't legal to tint a windshield in this state. Has that changed?
Keep the Black and Silver look to it, I’d leave the OEM chrome badges and grill, do a paint correction but looks good, do carbon next and exhaust simple resonator, an secondary cat delete wake the beast up just a bit, I run the same setup on my 2014 C63
Man I've always like that E63 body style and may look into grabbing one myself. I'm a Continental Contact Sport guy myself but I've heard some great reviews about the Lexani tires.
The non face lift W212 is the best looking E63 IMO, more aggressive. You should think about lowering it, they still ride nice even in the stiffest damper setting. The dead space between fenders and tires has got to go. Nice job so far, will keep watching.
You really did a great cosmetic job on the Merc. Maybe I missed it but what happened to the CTS-V,I just started watching your channel and I'm liking what see!!!
Great wheels man and a sweet car!! I would like to pause and say there's a huge safety issue that you are overlooking. When jacking up a car and removing a tire you should always have at least 1 jack stand under the car just in case the hydraulic jack lets go or slips. Just one jack stand can save your life. I was nervous seeing you looking under the rear tire with just a floor jack supporting the car. Your life will thank you if you need the jack stand just one time.
i wondered the same thing until i saw that shirt he's wearing in the second half ... a well drilling company with the same name as him i'm guessing means he's either the owner of or an heir to that? 🤷🏻♂️ if so that explain a lot because well drilling isn't cheap (it's expensive to be in that business too though) but yeah hopefully he'll answer i'm curious as well
I’m going to assume he’s in his early-mid 30’s. He’ll probably take that as a compliment. But just working hard, saving and investing for the last 15-20 years since he was 18, pays off hugely in the long run.
Still have the CTS-V?? I’m in need of a vehicle terribly.(understatement) Any interest in selling? Dream car… Serious inquiry! The new daily looks amazing keep up the good work
great looking car, i like all that you did to it. looks perfect! Can you share a link to the website where you got the deal on the wheels and tires please?
Love your content and the spec on the E63. Forgive me if you’ve already stated this but I didn’t see the specs for those gorgeous set of wheels! I know the are 20’s but can you please post the offset, hub and bolt pattern? Thanks so much, keep up the great work!!
Super nice wheels and transformation. I think the center caps would be much nicer with the MB logo. I have a 2012 E350 AMG sport sedan and looking for wheels. Where did you find this deal?
Good video, looks like a Russian gansters whip. I like it, you got a good deal on the wheels too.Idk I kind of like the badges still chrome. Black everything else out. New Sub.
Personally I think you should keep the chrome emblems just because they contrast with the wheels better than black would but its your car so your decision. But great start overall this car is a beauty excited for the future of it.
Looks perfect, personally I would not have done front side windows and windscreen, horrendous for night drives let alone dubious legality (illegal here in Belgium and most European countries, so different legal regime I know)
Ah.... you're the one who posted the thread on MBworld. Can't wait to see your overhaul of the engine. At least you have more room in the E class to work.
If changing the PCV valve, some things to be aware of when removing the exhaust manifold. The (2) throttle body connectors on the front will likely be tight and brittle. Take your time and use some WD-40 to get them apart. Be careful with the vacuum tube in the front. Disconnect it from the blue coupler and not the plastic part going into the manifold. They don't make that plastic part if you break it. The screw holding in the PCV on the rear of the manifold is a long screw and it may be very tight/seized. I used penetrating oil and slowing worked it back and forth.
Hey man I just started watching your videos and it caught me off guard seeing my car pop up as one of the pictures. I thought that was so cool! Your gonna love it! Make sure those head bolts are done and keep an ear on those cam adjusters. But other than those it's a solid car. Check out VRP Speed for some headers for that thing!
Did you buy new TPMS stems or swap over your old ones? The tire shop here won't do my S-Class backup wheels without the TPMS sensors since they say they have to install them if the car came with them from the factory due to federal law. What a crock. Wish those Advanti wheels came with silver center caps. If I couldn't find some Mercedes ones that fit I'd probably just get some silver wrap and cover the caps. Tint looks amazing. Same setup I have on my black W221 S-Class. I've been thinking about wrapping my window trim, lower door trim, top of door handles, and trunk lid and blacking out my grille.
Hey Chris, thanks for the interesting video 👍 I did watch all of your E55 videos, cause I‘m currently looking for a S211 E55 here in Germany. But I do have a question: Which car in your opinion is better? The W211 E55 or the W212 E63 with the M156? Which one do you like more or better? Of course, this may not sound like a fair comparison because the W212 is newer, has the better transmission and is obviously a NA engine, but which car do you like more, Performance wise? Kinda curious to know. Because: If I would buy a W212 E63, I‘d buy the E63 with the 5.5 turbo engine, cause this car has more potential Tuning wise. Thx in advance and kind regards from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋
I have a W220 S65 AMG with 19 in Bi-Spoke AMG Rims and I hate to disappoint you those 20" ADVANTI REIN Rims look hideous. Nothing like the true AMG RIMS. Alternatively, the money spent on those knock off Rims would have easily restored the original AMG Wheels that you had. Some about the German engineering no amount of custom and aftermarket products can supersede the OEM. It's like they knew what they were doing. Study WABI SABI. A Japanese concept that embraces the hidden, underlying, unpretentious beauty and originality. Either way, despite our drastic preferences and differences I like your honesty and noble personality that's why I subscribed to your channel. I wish you well Chris. I will keep an eye out on the OEM 19" AMG Rims for you. I have come across two sets before, but not knowing the rarity, I didn't bother with them. Thanks again and don't let my harsh criticism deter you - you went with the best available option you had at the time.
If this was a Cadillac there would be people calling GM cheap because of the plastic selector switch but since it’s German engineering they get a pass!, just like the cam phaser’s oil drain back causing the rattling on start up!
You can never go wrong with a classic 5 star type wheel. Those wheels look so close to factory, most people wouldn't notice they're aftermarket wheels. I love everything you're doing. From the cars, to your garage setup! Just KILLER!!! Keep up the awesome work 👍👏👏👏
How has this channel not blown up?! It’s always great when new videos get posted
I say the same thing, he makes better content and goes in depth more than these other “big” TH-camrs
he's gotta find that project that catches a bunch of attention ... unfortunately they have to be wrecked junk that needs a shit ton of frame work and whatnot it seems these days, or the "will it runs" on old stuff that has been parked in a field for 25 years seems to do well but that's hard to do in the northeast because all our old stuff is rusted out junk
One this channel will blow up! The quality is there
Chris as usual you have nailed it again. I see the love and passion you have in what you do. Keep up the great work man
I would leave the badges and front grille - looks perfect as it is
Looks really good.
I like the chrome accents over the all black everything.
It matches the wheels that way.
Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy!
Fellow owner here, blacked out grill looks great imo
Watching this series made me look these cars up! They’re not bad priced and I can also do majority of any work that needs to be done on them! Definitely my next purchase!
After analyzing your taste in cosmetics, i subscribed immediately
Just wanted to tell you I love the videos, keep going man. You got this! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise :)
Wheels and blacked out trim make it. The tint is sick! Wish I could go that dark in MA!
Really Good Content Chris 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
E63 looking good 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤘🏻
you really are livin the dream 🤟
LOVING THIS E63, keep the good work

Love the wheels, and yeah you should black out the grill and emblems.
Nice man! Love this build too lookin real presidential
I got the same car in July and did the command knob fix as well. I couldn't for the life of me get the connector unplugged so I ended up doing it while it was still in the car which was annoying. I see you removed the gear selector which was a good idea.

You should 😂

Really liked the "Malibu's Most Wanted Reference"....😅
😂😂😂

I watch from Russia, the car is super
Looks great Chris!
100% you need to tint those tailgates, they stand out like crazy on that all black car. Looks so much better with the chrome gone!

Dope! Definitely do Benz center caps!

Wheels looks awesome boss
what a beautiful car... good job with mods... the only think I would change are wheel center caps for mercedes ones
Convinced Mercedes’ makes some of the best 5 spoke Oem wheels in the car game!
Man I've always like that E63 body style and may look into grabbing one myself. I'm a Continental Contact Sport guy myself but I've heard some great reviews about the Lexani tires.

It's already pretty damned low... not exactly Jeep ride-height. What are you guys going with on these cars.. 1/2" drop?
@zaknefain100 with my car I bought H&R front springs and adjustable rear links (air springs rear) I also put plus one 20" wheels on my car.
You really did a great cosmetic job on the Merc. Maybe I missed it but what happened to the CTS-V,I just started watching your channel and I'm liking what see!!!
Great setup! Bro the black wheel caps looks hideous + black out the grille will definitely look sinister
The Malibu's Most Wanted drop had me freaking rolling ☠
Benz came out beautiful…I would definitely black out front grill also…The wheels were w killer deal…

Amazing work. Kudos
Hey man, I’m 19 and into all the same things your into. I’m very curious what you do for a living to afford all these bad as cars.
i wondered the same thing until i saw that shirt he's wearing in the second half ... a well drilling company with the same name as him i'm guessing means he's either the owner of or an heir to that? 🤷🏻♂️ if so that explain a lot because well drilling isn't cheap (it's expensive to be in that business too though) but yeah hopefully he'll answer i'm curious as well
I’m going to assume he’s in his early-mid 30’s. He’ll probably take that as a compliment. But just working hard, saving and investing for the last 15-20 years since he was 18, pays off hugely in the long run.
A previous video had him wearing a Sensata Technologies shirt, which has something to do electrical sensors.
The golden question lol
He is a nurse
Still have the CTS-V??
I’m in need of a vehicle terribly.(understatement) Any interest in selling? Dream car… Serious inquiry! The new daily looks amazing keep up the good work

Super nice wheels and transformation. I think the center caps would be much nicer with the MB logo. I have a 2012 E350 AMG sport sedan and looking for wheels. Where did you find this deal?
I like your choice of wheels but I think I would have installed AMG center caps in them.
Sic car ‼️‼️
Any speedo issues with the larger wheels?
Really needs silver Mercedes wheel caps on those wheels imo. But those 20" wheels look good :)
They are on the way
So do the front tires rub or give any issues? Loving the fitment on stock ride height - gotta replicate on mine!
Jamie Kennedy! Lmao. The MB looks great with those rims and chrome delete
Good video, looks like a Russian gansters whip. I like it, you got a good deal on the wheels too.Idk I kind of like the badges still chrome. Black everything else out. New Sub.
Thanks man!
Hi do you still have the original wheels you took off? Interested in buying them if they are availabme.
Thx
LOVE THE WHEELS!!!! I HAVE A 2016 MB E400 AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OFFSET IN THE FRONT @ REAR DID YOU USE FOR YOUR ADVANTI REIN WHEELS!!
Personally I think you should keep the chrome emblems just because they contrast with the wheels better than black would but its your car so your decision. But great start overall this car is a beauty excited for the future of it.
Looks perfect, personally I would not have done front side windows and windscreen, horrendous for night drives let alone dubious legality (illegal here in Belgium and most European countries, so different legal regime I know)
I have such an E63 and I'm looking for new wheels. what are the dimensions of the rims and tires?
Dude! I have a 2010 C63 AMG that has the 18's. Where did you find that deal at? I'm looking to change mine out as well! Awesome job!
Ah.... you're the one who posted the thread on MBworld. Can't wait to see your overhaul of the engine. At least you have more room in the E class to work.
That's me! Wish me luck lol

Clean 🔥🔥🔥
What happened with the cts-v Thanks Rich
Would look great with some mercedes centre caps!
Cool custom
Can you send link for the rim supplier
Where is the link to buy those RIMS! I want them!!
Hey Chris, great videos! I've got a project car for you that I'm sure will make your viewership explode!
Hey man I just started watching your videos and it caught me off guard seeing my car pop up as one of the pictures. I thought that was so cool! Your gonna love it! Make sure those head bolts are done and keep an ear on those cam adjusters. But other than those it's a solid car. Check out VRP Speed for some headers for that thing!
Also the wheels on mine where 20s off a s63
Looks like she handles great
drop it!
Hi Chris do you know if those wheel sizes would fit on an E 220 cdi amg sport?
Wow is nice wheels.
Can you recommend to buy?
Great video 👍🏻
The car looks good
Does the old center cap fit the new rims ?
Thanks! OEM caps are too big for these aftermarket wheels
the chrome delete was insane
best w212
Did you buy new TPMS stems or swap over your old ones? The tire shop here won't do my S-Class backup wheels without the TPMS sensors since they say they have to install them if the car came with them from the factory due to federal law. What a crock.

@RealTrades1 what you talking about
Was a C63 to small for you???
Can you tell me plz the who tire size you just said 275 265
side emblem delete, rear emblems in black 👍
Did you have to re program the dash for vehicle speed since you changed the wheel size?
Overall tire size is the same as OEM
Definitely black out the emblems
Facelift Led tail lights?
what pressure do you maintain front and rear in the tires. i too have the exact same 6.3 w212 prefacelift. Mine has 19's with 275 front and 295 rear.
35psi ish
Hey I'm local, where's that skidpad??!!!!!!!!
Grinding on the strut ,if you have to do that you’ve got the wrong size wheel
What’s the ET on the wheels?
Great video bro! You could've went with a 20×10.5 on the rear wheels.. Looks good though!
What offset? I'm looking for a 20x9.5 / 20x10.5 for my 2011 E63.
Love the content
If this was a Cadillac there would be people calling GM cheap because of the plastic selector switch but since it’s German engineering they get a pass!, just like the cam phaser’s oil drain back causing the rattling on start up!
Can you share the link
Sick Man OMG lit
Why year is it…never mind you said it
Did you trade the V for the Merc?
Nope. Sold the V to a buddy!
Looks awesome, I think you should Black out the grill for sure it will tie everything in but I would have the Wheels done in Gloss Black too.
Ok ok ok hear me out…. Leave the badges as they compliment the wheels, black the grill out and add an eyebrow to the top portion of the headlight. 👀👀
