Sorry for my noob questions. I'm really new to this stuff & am trying to learn & confirm as much as I can before I commit big bucks to some wheels.

FYI - Not everything you read on these forums is good information. There's plenty of people who think they know what they're talking about but don't have a clue. I'm running 12mm spacers up front.

Hi,

I'm thinking to change 18' to 19' with inside in titanium colour.

Do you think it' will look good without extra lowering?

Right now it's lowered somethink like 1.5 or 2 cm

I think it looks fine with the setup right now. maybe just a hair lower.

the make spacers/adapters that convert to different bolt patterns.

"can" and "should" are two different words though

Went for a factory grille painted black & I think it looks lots better. Too bad the E63 bumper came out for the C class about 1 week after I had mine replaced, or I would have bought that.

The flat black looks terrible, for such a shiny well-kept car the dull wheels are a disappointment.
