check the "Official C-Class Picture Thread" sticky

 

unless you are one of those people that love to see their wheels tucked below the fender I wouldnt lower it, since it's probably gonna give you much more grief than joy.

 

check out my sig pic..i have 19 inch on stock

 

wow, ur pics are great guys. ur cars already looked lowered with those rims!

 

check the sig as well and click on it for more pics...

 

...sig as well although with the angel the shot was taken, it's hard to tell.

 

19inch is bit ugly on coupe... or i need to lower my car first??

 

i would lower your car....look at blakep's car it's looks sick slammed.

 

i think the car looks better with at least a slight drop to get rid of any gaps.

 

Here's my setup

Front

19" x 8.5" Front 35 series Nitto NT555

19" x 9.5" Rear 30 series nitto nt555


See the link in my signature to see pics of the car

that looks pretty bad. not only are the rims too blinged out (well the entire car is too blinged out), but the gap is HUGE in the front. you definitely need to lower it. I think stock suspension setups with 19's ONLY look good on 2005+ sport sedans because of the lower setup. Not, on pre-2005 non-sport sedans.

 

Im guessing obviously you dont drive on the same roads as I do. I can't lower it, i still sometimes rub as it is. Florida roads are great, untill you pull off of one into a gas station and have to climb a 6 foot curb.

Did you mean bad as in good, or bad is in its a piece of ****? No body language with forums lol.

As far as too blinged out, you don't like chrome, so your opinion is on the subject of too much bling.

I've also read here that you don't care for the headlight trim. I don't care for it anymore either because it didn't stay on at highway speeds, but luckily I got some pics with it still on.

As far as my opinion goes, with your vehicle, I think it looks like a ricer with those wheels and grill setup. JMO but a mercedes needs chrome. All mercedes without chrome wheels looks like crap to me, but I'm a fan of chrome. I say, why not? Its a mercedes man, chrome it out. If you want non-chrome, buy rice.

 

hey, it's all a matter of opinion right? well, that's the first time I've heard someone call my car a ricer, but yeah to each his own... wow, non-chrome = rice, I like that distinction. I guess my M3 is rice too? I guess the guys in the E55 forum and C32 forums who've blacked out their grills with non-chrome rims are rice too right? eh, it's ok, I know where it's coming from, the person with chrome EVERYTHING and talking about being cool with the blinged out Rolex.

Unlike your wheels, mine are actually functional. They don't rub, they're lightweight and pretty strong. I'd take a forged lightweight 3-piece wheel over a cheap chromed out wheel anyday.

Also, it doesn't matter where you are, so you're telling me that there are no 2005 and up w203's in FL? Or any performance cars? Your C240 isn't the sport model, nor does it have an updated suspension. It just looks ridiculous with the huge gap with the large wheels, I mean it looked bad to begin with with the stock 16's, but adding the chrome 19's makes the gaps look even bigger. And why go with low profile 19's if your roads are bad? Shouldn't 18's be better? Ah, but yes, you like the blinged out look.

I'd choose function and looks over straight looks that are gaudy. I guess we can call your look Ghetto-Fab. Some people would rather be low profile and not too gaudy, but that's also a personal preference.

 

oh btw, I like how on your cardomain profile it says your intake, headers, engine components, chips, shocks, and springs are AMG.

you even have AMG stickers and badges on it! now THAT is the definition of rice. You have absolutely nothing AMG but tell everyone that it is.

 

rice?, npls car is pretty fresh and very far from rice, this coming from a man with a montecarlo on 20's?, and and an excursions on 24's?, lol and btw those "headrest" monitors are pretty rice to, there not even in the headrest, just velcrowed on lol

 

phildo,


Thanks for checking out my cardomain page... I love the hits

PS There is an edit message button so you don't have to double post.




Anything else wrong that anybody would care to point out?

 

I know about the edit button, I've been on here a lot longer than you with more MB's...

I figured that that statement about AMG deserved it's own fresh post.

 

well since we are gonna start the point and shoot game...


are you the black bad ***? You seem to like black cars... usually the bad cowboy is the one in black, are you the bad cowboy? Your from out west lol... rootin tootin shootin good times

 

that was so lame that it's funny...

props for that one!

btw, the new sig is pretty funny!

 

cowboy fetish? wtf kinda reply was that?

 

Ok how about this


Phil is great, I am stupid. Anyone who reads this message is a better person than me.

Happy?

 

ME = Piece of American Southern Trash


You= Greatest entity ever

I'm a piece of trash, and so is my car. I let my mouth, or in this case, my fingers, get out of aline. I'm a retarded southerner, ah-yuck
