First time pics of my 05 C230 SS
I bought my car in Oct. of 07, its been in my garage since. Today is the first time it has come out of the garage since I purchased it. This morning I installed the projector HID's and AMG wheels.

Take a look tell me what you think.

Nice wheels. The other OEM looking projectors would've probably been a better choice though.

The rims look good, could you answer the question whether you bolted them on direct or did you need spacers? Thanks.

1.5 year? did we skip a year while i was sleeping?

I'm pretty sure it was garaged because of the snow given that his location says Western Mass.
