Hey guys,
I am getting tired of my heavy wheels, 18" Millenium.
Now I was looking for the ultralegera in 19" way lighter than mine. The thing is that they aren't staggered. I wonder if the rear will look aggressive enough or that would look more like stock.
Can someone pshop something? That would help.
What u guys think of gold spokes, I always loved that.

it depends on the wheels design, black hide details, so if you are going for some twin spokes amg reps, or brabus or... go BLACK, but if you want the mesh style or multi spoke (above 10) or.. go silver....
it kinda hard to explain what i mean, but check the pictures rocafel1a attached and you will understand...

Yes - change those damn sidemarkers - you can smoke them or go for Euro impact strips without them like Mu9enx has done on a black car

Damit, i jsut got my wheels in and they dont fit.
The front are 19x8.5 with a 35+offset, it hits the 320SS BBK, so i tred 5mm spacer and it still wont fit, seems i need 10+, **** i might go with the H&R 20mm spacer just to be safe. SO a heads up, even with a 35+ offset your wheels might not fit due to the curve of the spokes, esp if you have the Sport brakes.

Yeah - You need to work with a crowd that test fit. You probably need ET 30 to be sure but then you might rub the body lip with some wheels even with rolling. I don't know why people don't stop at 18" - best compromise & why AMG use 18" & why FrankW uses 18"
