tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
What do you call the Entry on the subject of tuning? For me and for many others, tuning begins with a lowering or a loud sports exhaust and, most importantly, with an increase in performance! It should also be clear that everyone interprets the subject of tuning differently and so in the end everyone has a different idea of a tuned vehicle. But what if we take the trouble and compare our question with a statistic? Then we will find that for a good 60% of all vehicle owners with a desire for individualization, the car is the first to receive a new wheel set and this is almost always at least 1 inch larger than the factory rims. The rims are replaced before the car is chiptuned or lowered. This means that a new wheel set is the most frequent change to a vehicle, but it is also one of the most expensive. The choice to change the rims is understandable, because the rims installed ex works are not necessarily unsightly, the problem is that the standard rims are selected in the manufacturer's configurator and of course thousands of other buyers of one, in this case Mercedes-Benz Mercedes C217 S-Class Coupe's, also done. In addition, the wheel sets are of course trimmed in the direction of mainstream optics ex works because they should please the general public.
All very good reasons for a new set of rims! Why not look around in Schmidt Felgen's repertoire to see if a chic alternative is to be found? The owner of this Mercedes C217 S-Class Coupe has "the wheelset project"And the standard rims were exchanged for a Schmidt rim wheel set of the DG-Line type in 21 inches and with a black rim star. Anyone who knows Schmidt Felgen can understand why it had to be this particular provider! Schmidt has high quality rims in its range and a diverse selection. As you can see, there was something suitable for the large luxury coupe and the project could begin. Apart from the new rims, the coupe has received further changes which we are only aware of based on the photos, unfortunately we do not currently have exact details. No matter the focus is the new Schmidt wheelset which certainly does not miss the standard rims and is definitely an asset to the large coupe. The vehicle looks more dynamic and sporty, which is always a plus and should drive accordingly. We took a closer look at the photos and looked for differences compared to the production model and were able to determine a few more changes to the rims.
