Ling, the stockers don't clear the KW's? That's so weird.

Are you getting rid of your car or getting new rims?

Your post reminds me of the scene in Office Space where the guys beat the sh*t out of the printer with bats and then the dude runs back at it to get one last kick in!

wow this thread is OD!

I can say, Blake, your car is probably one of the most respected c coupes out there! bi-x, mattig grill, authentic brabus lips (used to be wheels!). now some authentic BBS WHEELS! all you need is a remus 2x76 to finish it! your car is Top Coupes of mbworld! well of course, lol theres others!

george, I'm gonna put my ET side off a bit, your car does look good, I like the spoilers and stuff, I probably would had done the same thing if I had a (sedan). I am personally not a fan of chrome wheels, I dont mind them, but I'd never get em, mainly because its not my style.

As for the Mayas, they are high end wheels, and so are the BBS wheels. I personally dont like the style, but hey man, its your choice, its unique!

george, dont get me wrong, its just that, this is mbworld, and that kinda "style" you can say, doesnt belong on this forum, as you have noticed, this forum is based on a "clean cut" kinda style.

I'm sure your car+ wheels turn heads, especially in the city! and i can tell you the truth, I can't wait to see your car and all the other ET member cars when wheel concepts come!!!
