tried to put pics on but the size is messed up. I have to figuar out how to do it. They look great. I only as of now have night pics. I will take some during the day tomorrow and show you guys. Rims just touched my calipers had to shave them a little to make them fit. I don't know why. Did you have this problem jpog. it was a process to get them on. The guy at the shop was great. He did what ever it took to get them to sit correctly.

How do you shave the brake calipers to make them fit? This must be the rear right? In that case we need to use spacers. Let us know.

I don't know why. It just rubbed on the caliper a tiny bit. Like I said, I had to shave each bar down about a quater of an inch to make it not rub. DID NOT WANT SPACERS ON MY CAR. It worked out fine. No damage to the rim. only the front inside has a little shaven part

You guys didn't comment on the car? Whats up with that. After the snow I will take day pics and show you guys what it looks like. I really think that it looks hot. Love the white and the black.

Eric, the car looks great 
:
It is really weird that the C55 had no problem fitting the rims as it has the big caliper and yours does. Maybe this has something to do with the wider track MB said they did with the 05-06. I'm taking that people buying TSW Bremma now has to think twice.

The wheels look good on a white MB. Now I'm worried I have to find someone that knows what to do to start shaving my wheels. 
Did you use the same bolts as the ones Frank recommended?
Yeah, i can't believe we are getting hit by a Blizzard in NY tonight into tomorrow with about 12inches of snow. Hope you have another car. I got my Jeep to use in the snow
MB stay's in the warm garage

1. the bolts are not the same ones as frank used. I ordered those but had to cut all them. Used a machine to shave them down
2.I have another car, I lease a 2006 galant so I don't have to drive my benz during the winter
3. Frank can you elaberate on the wider track thing. I just want to know a little more about this. I feel sometimes that my car is different than everyone elses. It is crazy.
Razor If your car is like mine and you need this done just contact me and I know the guy that can help you.
