Yea, I hated my old wheels as well.

These arent the bremmas. These are Sport Edition ST4 in 18x8, I got them on tirerack.com

I will be getting a spoiler sometime in the near future, hopefully.

Lol... Thats all that is available for my car. Remember, I have a 4matic.

I noticed that one of my old wheels had a few hairline cracks in them. They are sitting in the garage awaiting a trip to the dump.

I smoked these back in January, but Ive been switching between these and the S-class tails which are smoked but not as much.
