I take great pride in posting stories of the cars we build during our day to day operations here at Titan, but this car is even more special…because it’s my own. After a few months of upgrading and tracking my Z4M I decided it was time to get rid of the OEM competition wheels that were on the car and add a bit of style and class with a set of HRE wheels.

Over the years I’ve sampled various aftermarket wheels on my vehicles, and nothing holds a candle to HRE in terms of fitment and finish. I opted for a set of 19×8.5 and 19×10.5 HRE C20s for the car, the C series combines a step lip with HRE hardware for a lightweight, race inspired wheel, a great fit given my intentions for this car. I love black wheels on my vehicles, however this time I wanted to mix things up a bit and opted for a matte black center with gloss black lips and inner barrels to give a bit of contrast while maintaining a monochromatic look.

For tires I wrapped them in Nitto NT05 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear, I’m anxious to put a bit more miles on these as they have gotten rave reviews for being a great intermediate tire that works well on the track and can still be driven on the street. I’m very pleased with the overall stance of the car now and looking forward to getting it back out on the track.

This morning we had the pleasure of picking up this beautiful CLK Black Series for a series of upgrades we will be installing here at Titan Motorsports. The car was recently wrapped in Matte black vinyl which looks absolutely stunning in person. While this treatment has gotten very popular in recent months almost to the point of saturation, this car definitely pulls the look off better than most. The car in stock form makes 465hp/500tq, however we’re expecting quite a bit more after installing headers/intake/exhaust and an RennTech ECU reflash. The 7speed gearbox makes driving in traffic anything but a chore, while providing smooth crisp shifts during performance driving. A custom cut set of DPE’s is on the way for test fitment complete with matte black center, once we confirm they fit we will be installing them on the vehicle and lowering the improve the vehicles stance.
