2005 Mercedes Benz C230K SS
Newbie to MBWORLD

Hello Everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself after a weeks of searching, browsing and jocking everyone's car.

I drive a 2005 C230K SS blk/blk and have found so much informative information just by browsing different threads. By the way, my car is pretty much stock other than my CL grill and flat emblem which I must say, makes my car look much sportier. Though I feel so unworthy of being here after seeing all your guy's beautiful rides!

For the future my first mod is probably and I think one of the more noticeable things.... Some nice rims and wheels. I can't believe after a year of owning my car I finally came across this awesome site and not any sooner.

I'm debating on either two styles. I believe it's the Brabus style VI which I think look sporty yet classy. Undecided if either polished or black face with chrome lip? My second choice is probably the Sevas S22 which I think they only make in high polish silver with chrome lip. More than likely sticking with 19" staggered ... *HINT*HINT* opinions more than welcomed on which style would look best

There's alot of you already here I've seen threads from... awesome. Just to name a few,All moderators,FrankW,LorinserCClass,Benzoc230,Drexapp eal, Mikew203w,Saprissa, and the list goes on too many off memory to name so please forgive me.

I hope my picture comes up of my car? and it's was great introducing myself to you guys... I'm literally addicted to this site... I religiously now search everyday for something new!

Welcome.

You may be able to get your rims sooner than later (if you have the money). BlakeP is selling his Brabus Monoblock VI rims. Hit him up.

Black rims with a chrom lip is really nice on a black car.

I might be able to get you some rims so hit me up when you can. They are 19" and will fit you c230 with no problem. But let me know and im going to call if they're still available. I was going to get it on mine but 19" will get dented by LA's roads so i have to settle on 18".

nice car pic btw.

This is a mis-nomer! 19's don't dent when they're made well! My 19's have been able to withstand all the LA potholes.

Let's clarify this and say that all lesser-quality 19's will get dented.

Yea you've got a point. But where i live at, even before i come out of my garage, i have a big pot hole that i have to deal with everyday. They fixed every other street but not mine

Lesser qualities will get dented. Thanks for clarifying.
Didnt want to burst his bubble and not go with 19"

Excellent first post. Definitely, go with Blake’s Brabus. They are a great deal.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but when I first read your screen name, I inadvertently had the accent on the wrong syllable!
