Pictures of my Coupe
Been browsing here for awhile now. Finally got my wheels and tein coil-overs on so thought I would share some pictures. Wheels are MAE crown jewels with Kodiak lips and painted centers. Fronts are 18x8.5 rears are 18x10.5. Need to lower the front a little more.

Nice color!
Rims look nice. Don't they rub in the rear over any kind of road imperfection? I had 18x8s w/20mm spacers and had to remove the spacers due to rubbing, so I'd have to imagine that it's much worse for you.

Good to see another coupe on the board.
Especially an Orion blue one.
I'm sure those wheels cost a pretty pennie, but to me
they're a bit fugly. Just one opinion.
Not my taste but so what?
If you like it thats all that matters.
Maybe if the lips were black...hmmm....

2002 C230 Kompressor, Capri Blue
nice. I am more of an all carlson wheel fan. I have the same car, just the darker Capri Blue. I really like to Tein C/O drop. Where did you get them, I am looking to get a set.

Thanks for all the compliments and opinions. Just got done lowering the front as low as the teins can go. (got them from ebay) Backs are still up about 3/4 of an inch. The wheels do rub in the back on the fender, but once I get these rolled a bit, I believe it will be fine. These wheels are the ones I have always wanted so they will be around for awhile. Black lips are in the works but going to rock it this way for now. For the questions on the wheels here are the full specs.
Front
18x8.5 Et 32-15mm spacer = et17
Tire size 215/35/18
Toyo Proxy T1R's
Rear
18x10.5 et52-12mm spacer = et 40
Tire size 235/40/18
Front
18x8.5 Et 32-15mm spacer = et17
Tire size 215/35/18
Toyo Proxy T1R's
Rear
18x10.5 et52-12mm spacer = et 40
Tire size 235/40/18
