The first two pics are with the Zauber wheels. They are custom made and have a huge lip. I love that look.

i have 19's on my c320. there is a pic in the thread. i have it lowered with h&r and the ride quality is very good. i just have to watch out everywhere i go for potholes and be careful with them. if you dont mind paying a little more attention while driving, than get the 19's because they look so much better and dont ride much different than 18's.

Those wheels are all small and boring.
I'm putting some of these on my car. Maybe Bullwinkle can get together a group buy for us.

Zauber gettin
The rims in the pic are Zauber Gettin. I know the owner of that car. She is working for Wheelpower in LA. But the thing is someone told me Zauber doesnt worth $4000 over. U can get it around $400 to 500 a piece in Japan. Wheelpower imports these rims to US and sell them with really high price. I am not too sure but thats what i heard from some car professionals. How much is wheelexpert selling them for? 19" pls...

My friend just got a set of 19" from wheelpower for his 01 Eclass. Yes, indeed it does look like Lorinser LM5. The only thing I really like about it is the PHAT LIPS. Some claimed that these rims are LM5 knock off, but all rims are somewhat similar. He paid 4gs for it. A bit expensive but its personal's preference.
