They've made oem staggered wheels for the C since at least 2004.5. The 2004.5's - 2006's had the staggered 5 spokers and the 07's have these.

question:

ok so you all have seen my coupe and its ride height... and you are all probably aware of the coupe bixenon scarcity. my question is...

is my ride height so bad that i need suspension now?

OR

is it bearable enough that i can use my money for bixenons now and live with it until i can afford to lower it properly (2 months?)... note that i should be able to get bixenons later as well, but its not 100% certain

both will be done... i was just wondering your feedback about which should be done first.

thanks!
