New wheels installed
Just got these installed and had nothing but compliments on the new look. Before you start asking: they are 17". And yes I know that the younger, mostly coastal, generation would have wanted to see 18" at the very least if not 19". Oh well, how about them jacking up their rear end with air shocks and putting oversized tires on that rear end. OOPS. I'm showing my age again.

????????????????
younger generation = big wheel
older generation = small wheel
????????????????
what is this theory?
i think:
car mod = making your car better or best (taste very on person)
NICE LOOKING WHEEL. How's the quality compare to the real one? (if you tried the real one b4. please let me know coz thinking getting a set of replica MonoBlock V)
btw, i notice that you have changed many different sets of wheel already. How much you lose on them? If i were you, i would just buy a set that i will not want to take off the car......of course and at least 18 inch, no matter real or replica.

Harris,
I did.....The reason that i am thinking of getting a set of 18 replica is.....i don't know if i should say it coz it will not be too NICE to some people.....well.....i was thinking on getting a set of new 17 snow tires and sell my stock tires. but i don't really like my stock 17 wheel and i figured that if i sell my stock wheel and tires, i can get a set of 18 replica with snow tires. so this is the reason.
and well, one of my friend wants to get a set of the Mono V replica too. (buying 2 sets together would be cheaper, ha)

Those rims look very nice. They look good on the car. Very Good! The only thing you may want to do in the future is a set of lowering springs.

SInce everybody is giving me such great advice. I would like to apologize for taking a picture like this without having gas in the tank and me not in it. That would have compressed the springs enough so that I won't need to drop afterwards. LOL:p

2. no guessing which shock will match the spring
3. height adjustable, no one height fits all
4. quality product from a reputable MB tuner
I really like the ride of the W203 with this kit. If you need a second opinion, ask CHATMANR, he has this kit installed.
