Lightbulb Since the Coupe needed new tires...

I figured this would be a good time to try some new wheels. So this is what I ordered:

F: 18x8 et 35 w/ 225/40
R: 18x9 et 35 w/ 255/35

Not Brabus, not Carlsson, not Lorinser or Opera Design or any other over priced "tuner" wheel? No, you had to buy an attractive, reasonably priced wheel. My God, man, what were you thinking? You own a Benz. You have a tradition to uphold. You have disgraced the marque.


They look great. Good choice.


Note for the semi-conscious. The first paragraph is satire.

I have been told it's not a real benz , or course by a ford owner.

Those "tuners" don't have anything I would like on this car.

If you want the staggared setup, better hurry, the rear will be gone soon. Now onsale at TireRack!

I'll take pic as soon as they are on. This may take awhile since TireRack keeps changing the shipping warehouse

If anyone else wants a staggered set of these, better hurry before they are gone.
