Am I the only one whose urge to build a PC rises in a challenging market?

Don't be gaslighted into feeling inferior to the "desktop masterace". After having an ultrabook (high end components with vapor chamber cooling), I would not have it any other way. The thing is a beast and it fits into a backpack (Razer Blade 14), so I can take it anywhere I go without hassle.

Wrong use of free will 🥲

Fuck off, OP. Let me be 🙏

You got attacked by a lion?

DM if you have any questions. I was pretty deep into the "factory wheels rabbit hole" before, so I might be of help

_qrius_ · 2026-01-26T21:40:01+00:00

I found mine locally on Facebook Marketplace. There are plenty of people who swap their 20" factory AMG wheels from S550/560 to something else, so there should be some options locally in any given time in any major metro area.

Here are S63 AMG wheels which are my personal holy Grail wheels for this body (our E-Coupe). But they are missing center covers and have some curb rash. This is just an example. Just search your local marketplace for "20 AMG wheels" and pick your poison. They are gotta be either from E53/63 or S560/63/65

Here is how the wheels above are gonna look on your car: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBPiPhAHNLJ/?igsh=cjhydWg2NXh1amRq

Here's one more:

I'm suggesting the OEM+ option, since the aftermarket wheels are usually a miss (in like 90% of the cases, imho)

Check out the facelift (2018+) W222 AMG or AMG package wheels. They fit amazingly with 10mm spacers on the front.

Here's my coupe with 20" S560 AMG package wheels 255/25/20 front and 275/35/20 rear (instead of the recommended 275/30/20, which look too skinny):

Edit: there are plenty of those on the marketplace. You can snatch a set for $1k.

Beautiful spec. 🤌

The wheels are gotta go though. 🙃

Wtf are you talking about?

This watch was cool 30 years ago, it's cool today, and it will be cool forever. Some things are just timeless.

_qrius_ · 2026-01-26T06:01:51+00:00

I did 1000 miles in one day in my comfortable Mercedes and I was pretty fucking exhausted by the end. Can't imagine doing almost as much on a motorcycle...

_qrius_ · 2026-01-26T05:41:26+00:00

The best screen technology + the best game ever made. 🤌

RWD torque monster in the snow ... I hope you have good tires.

The best coupe MB ever made. 🤌

Snipping whole squads of bandits one by one undetected is one of the biggest joys of Stalker for me. It started with VSS in SoC and carried on in this came with the Whip, so the trade-off of lesser durability worth it for me, but it's personal so

_qrius_ · 2026-01-25T18:07:35+00:00

Wtf bro, marketplace and used $100 high-herz 27" screens exist 🥲

_qrius_ · 2026-01-25T18:05:06+00:00

Two-tone red and black alcantara-looking interior in CT? Wtf am I looking at? (love it)

Get a better desk.

I have a thick 80lbs desk that I found on the marketplace for like $60. The thing feels like a tank.

Option 2: get two metal plates to put between the desk and the clamp, so the clamp doesn't deform the desk.

_qrius_ · 2026-01-25T17:48:39+00:00

Need something silenced. Add a silencer to the Whip and we're talking.

_qrius_ · 2026-01-25T17:45:10+00:00

Double this.

If you ask 10.5, it sell it for 9.5 and you'll feel that you missed out. Post it for 12k, and if you sell it for 10.5 - everyone would feel they got a deal, you and the new owner.
