@PJmak It's an old nikon d700, and mostly the tamron 24-70mm f2.8 VC. Some of the pictures (interior) are with the tokina 16-28mm. I used to have photography as a hobby but got burned out so I sold all the expencive gear and its been 3-4 years since I gave it up. I usually underexpose the pictures when I take them because there is a lot more detail that can be saved from the lows than the highs in the D700's raw (nef) files
Figured theres no way thise were taken with a phone
Im into photography too. Sold my canon about a month ago and im looking to get into sony now
welcome to the board redbenzito. i always love a red benz! looks like you are in queens? do you have a recommendation for a shop that does interiors? i know there are a couple in the bronx.
did you widen the lips on your 17" rims or are they factory original AMG?
what did you do to your AMG back box replacing with a round tube?
Thank you!
Yes, they are 17" centers upsized to 18" with slant lips
Don't worry! Nothing was done to my AMG muffler, I still have that in my garage, but it's straight piped right now (testing the waters before I added a real tip), but that will be fixed soon as I am having a full exhaust custom made soon!
Thank you!

did you do the rim upgrade your self using 17" centre with 18" lips?
looks very sharp!
do yo have adjustable camber arms?
did you set the wheels to tilt inwards?
it looks that way in your pics

A company called VR Wheels out here in SoCal built them! Appreciate it! They artful rebuilt with new lips, barrels, and hardware so they are mint.
No adjustable camber arms here! It is all just natural camber that the 202 makes when you get it low. When I air back up to ride height, then the camber decreases, not fully back to 0 but gets close. My alignment is done so that my tires do not wear any more prematurely than normal.
I am trying to get camber arms for the rear just to match the front. But I am debating if I want to go wider with my fenders before I do that.
i can see this wheel company did a phenomenal job.
you must be very pleased with them.
are the original 17" rims 8.5 wide in front and rear?
when you have the time, I appreciate if you would take a close up picture of front and rear wheel so I can see the details.
tires are they 225 in front and 255 rear?
any rub issues when you turn the wheel or having rub issues when you load people in the back or loading heavy cargo in trunk?
tinted smoked windows looking perfect on your car.
watch out for potholes and curb rash
god speed

Very happy with them!
The original was the 17, 8.5 but mine have been upped to 9 front and 10.5 rear with offset of 11 and I have a 3mm spacer on the front to clear my front caliper ( which has less clearance than that of a credit card, but over a year now and no issues to report with having such close caliper fitment) and 5mm in the rear. I can PM you some detail pics for sure! As for my tire size.. Might get some flak for running such a stretch haha but it's necessary when achieving such tight fitment. The front is 205/40 and rear is 225/40.
No issues with rubbing since I am on air suspension (Like Dom is with his C43 with the 55 swap on here). So we can just pull up on the paddles and raise our cars up to clear anything in the road and avoid rubbing.
ah! potholes and curbs are definitely the enemy
Those are Aero II's. I have OZ Aero III's, you can tell the most from the way it looks around the hardware. But for the life of me I can't tell the difference between Aero I and Aero III's, so if anyone on here knows, I would be much appreciative!
Hello all, i'm back in the w202 world...
had a C43 99' back in 2006 till 2010, sold it to a friend who still owns it!
I got myself another a 99' C43 with 100k miles on the clock.
Needs a drop like my old one...better tires, 18'' mono's etc.
Very busy with work N the 2 kids for now so it's stored in the garage sleepin' :P
