2015 Mercedes C300 Gets Gold PUR Wheels, Shows Its Rich Side

Canadian tuning specialists SR Auto Group have a cool event going on called Fitment Friday, where they present a fresh set of wheels every week. The latest has been done as a joint venture with Reinart Design in Hong Kong and centers around the best compact executive sedan Mercedes has ever built, the W205 C-Class.

This bad boy is the 2015 model year C300, equipped with a 2-liter turbo engine that's good for 241 hp. In the US, it comes with a standard all-wheel drive and a 7-speed gearbox for the princely sum of $41,000. Ouch!

For this project, the wheel chosen was PUR Wheels' RS04, finished in gloss rose gold. They are 19 inches in diameter and a subtle, elegant design that works well with the gloss white paint, Basics lowering system and the AMG Line body kit. Just don't park it anywhere near a curb!

The son of an S-Class

OK, the W205 is still not in the same luxury league as the S-Class, but it's got the best interior in the segment, all finished in brushed metals and fine leathers. The wheelbase is also longer, which means it rides well and handles like a bigger car than the W204.

Besides standing head above shoulders over the whole executive segment in terms of class, the C-Class is also brilliant in terms of design and ever the "basic" C300 does a great job at looking like an AMG car, thanks to its low chin and metallic rear diffuser. Sexy!
