Our Favourite Benzes From Wekfest ’22

We noticed our share of slammed and glossy Mercedes-Benzes at this well-known LA automotive present.

Lately, we attended Wekfest on the LA Conference Middle. Wekfest’s organizers invoice the present as a celebration of “the automotive neighborhood, its folks, and the tales they inform.” We misplaced monitor of what number of critically cool rides we noticed at this 12 months’s occasion. At this time, we’re simply specializing in the Mercedes-Benzes we noticed on the present .

The primary automotive to leap out at us was a two-tone blue C126. It was giving us critical Roadhouse vibes, despite the fact that it was modified in a tasteful JDM-inspired fashion with yellow headlights and bronze Volk TE37s. Is there a single automotive on the market that doesn’t look good on TE37s? We doubt it.

There’s simply one thing about these C126s that seize our consideration each time we see them. They’ve glorious proportions inventory, and as you’ll be able to see with the above instance, it doesn’t take a lot to make them actually stand out. Generally, much less is extra.

Widebody Obsession

Like most of you, we like our customized vehicles low and extensive. The widebody pattern doesn’t present any indicators of slowing, and we don’t assume it ought to. Like TE37s, a widebody package appears to be like good on absolutely anything.

Once we noticed this sweet apple pink AMG GT, we have been drawn to it like a magnet. The extensive physique package, coupled with a wholesome dose of carbon fiber, scoops, and spoilers, offers this AMG GT a roadgoing GT3 race automotive vibe. All the pieces about this automotive appears to be like useful, whether or not or not it truly is. Total, it’s truly very tasteful, simply toeing the road of being outrageous with out being excessive.

Lastly, we discovered this aggressive, mega-wide C63 AMG. The W204 era C-Class is considered one of our favorites, particularly in AMG kind. We predict that the design has aged very effectively. Whether or not you’re inclined to name this shade “metal blue,” “periwinkle,” or “dryer lint,” you’ve bought to acknowledge that it appears to be like nice on this automotive, particularly with the darker blue wheel facilities. It matches up effectively with the C126 above, and we expect it’s a disgrace that they weren’t parked subsequent to one another.
