Ooh, that's a nice SUV. I'd have a hard time selecting between that and the Audi SUV, if I were to go the SUV route.

My aunt had one, black on black, and traded it in for a new escalade , she needed more room. She chose the escalade over the GL as well, mainly because MB didn't want to give her as much as the caddy dealer for the rover. I would've went with the GL. The RR sport is a beautiful machine though, hope you get it.

Nice wheels... I have the same on my car in 19". I love them. Strong, stylish, and best of all: not a lot of money...

Just to keep information correct. We do offer the correct offsets. All of our Mercedes wheels are 35mm offset and are the proper fitment for the car and do not require spacers. In this case we were sold out of our 18x8.5 and the new shippment was in CA. We had to drop ship the fronts to Mike and they ended up being 38 offset. This was news to us so we helped mike remedy the problem by sending hubcentric 3mm spacers that allowed him to keep the wheels hubcentric and get back to a 35mm offset. This was done at our expense since both Mike and myself were expecting 35mm offset wheels to arrive. Now that we are aware of this it has been taken into account and is being remedied. All of the other wheels are unaffected. Also only the C class gets affected by this 3mm variance. The E and S can easily run these wheels in 38mm offset without a hitch.

As fo the rubbing. Mike is also the only one with this situation but this was discussed before hand as he is running Tein coilovers and is much lower than stock. We have countless C class cars running the 10's in the rear with 275 wide tires and no rubbing. We have been selling the wheels locally for a year before offering them here. Since we have been selling them, we haven't had anyone report any rubbing on any stock height or stage 1 lowered car.

Mike the wheels look great and thanks for putting them up for all to see. If anyone has any questions do not hesitate to give us a call or PM us. Mike can attest to the level of customer service we provide.

Thanks
Mike

Yeah I am only 26 too but I felt that I had 'matured' out of my C Class I mean I have kids a 'wifey' a house, dogs etc etc and it felt like my C Class was just too small(even though I also have the A6)for my lifestyle. Don't get me wrong I really miss my C Class(it turned heads EVERYWHERE)but after driving a Range it just feels GOOD I like being able not to worry about potholes, dips, driveways etc haha

look at the last picture then look at the first u have to make the rod like the first picture.. ... u need to put the rod back into place then turn the adjuster thing all the way back down i hope am making myself clear... also make sure that the Balljoint inside the headlight that holds the projector to the adjuster is not broken if so then u might be screwed.. u may need to contact steve to get a replacement balljoint.

well i just went under the hood 5 minutes ago...i was feeling for the rod to adjust the projector vertically and i couldnt get a visual at all for it...so i felt for its base and try to push hoping to pop it back and nothing was working/budging.....then i accidentally knocked the actual bulb...and i noticed...it brought the whole project upwards...and i was like "hey what the hell is this the problem? maybe this loose part just shot up" so thinking that i simply pushed the headlight downwards on both sides....started the car...and now it is lowered and my adjusting rods for both sides work....does anybody know what is up with my auto-leveling system? it seems that after i manually pushed the level of the projector down....my adjusting rods started functioning again and everything is the way i want....i noticed too that if i have the car running with headlights on...i cant move/play with the level of the headlight.projector as it is fastened in its place....but with the car and its headlights off...the headlight/projector is playful/i can move it easily. is this normal? i have no idea what is going on and i am confused...sorry to be such a fuss.

People stop saying this. At 65MPH crash then yes, Mercedes Benz cars are safe. But at anything over 80MPH it doesn't matter whether you are driving a Ford or Ferrari, a Benz or VW, only God can save you. My point is, he was just lucky, Mercedes does not 'vouch' that their cars can protect you on a 90MPH impact.

Think about that every time you accelerate past 80MPH...

It's always interesting how you hear of the stories where the ONLY reason the person survived was because their seatbelt broke and they were ejected. Like he said, had he stayed inside that car, he would have been a goner.

The crash pics remind me of these pics of a motorcycle crash in europe where the rider ran into this car at around 140mph, both people in the car and the rider died instantly, motorcycles aren't as forgiving in an accident (hell i had to go to the ER when I crashed mine)

Same thing happened In California on HWY 49? It killed all four in the car and they couldn't find the rider for a while, he was behind a rock about 1/4 mile up the road. When he came off the bike he traveled that far and hit the side of the mountain and slid down behind the rock.
