New to the site
Just wanted to introduce myself,
My name is Shane, I live in Tucson, Arizona, (Yes it sucks here, but I make the best of it!) I recently just bought my first MB C230 that I have been I eye-balling for quite sometime now. It's a used 2003, but the the first owner had lots of tuning and upgrades done to it. Most of which are the Lorinser styling package including the massive wheels which are Lorinser also.
I will have pics to share shortly.
Looking forward to chatting with you all.

I really like Lorinser (and Kleemann) more--over Brabus, actually!..(Going to get my derierre kicked by Brabusers, for that one)...

I purchased the car for $24,000. As for the Lorinser goodies I have the receipts for the Lorinser parts, I do believe they are real. The headlight splitters are a cool feature, but were already on the car when I bought it from him. Thanks for all the comments and questions (I really enjoy this forum) in fact I just started hooking up a custom stereo and found all my answers today on the board.

Sharpest car in AZ. I think the Lorinser goods are First Class. You made a very smart buy. I don't think I'd be brave enough to take a black car out in Tucson, it would roast me like a wennie on a typical day.

Nice rims, splitters are waaaay ricey....black car in AZ (ouchy) it's a nice car nonetheless. I lived up in PHX a while ago and my lil' black Toyota truck in black got tremendously hot in the triple digit heat.

Trust me on the modding bug. I've done a IS300 and a couple of Hondas, This car I will say has to be by farthest the sickest modding car of all time. I have had the car for 3-weeks now and already added a damn system. Thanks everybody for the comments I appreciate it.

welcome to the forum. car looks great. previous owner has pretty good taste.
the Lorinser RS6 is the 3rd best looking wheel from Lorinser behind the RS8 and the LM6.
size would be 19x9 and 19x10 actually for your car. There are no replica of the RS6 as far as I know, so you don't have to worry about that part.
However the only other Lorinser part on the car is the trunk spoiler. I hope the previous owner didn't show you more receipt than the one for rims and one for trunk spoiler. Unless they are some interior parts. The Expression Grille is very nice btw.
