Looks bada$s...you are so lucky to own such a nice car, all of you...whoever decides to put these on their C-Class with a drop like that will be riding like a bada$s. Damn, I cant say how much it looks good with the lip different from the gold....damn. BTW, nice job on the photoshop.

I think most people won't have the patience to special order the gold wheels from BBS Japan. The ETA was something like 6+ months the last time I inquired. BBS USA is usually of no help either.

Of course you can always go that route. It all depends on how much you trust the place doing the powder coating.

Now gold bbs wheels on a C55 would be a different story, the gold bbs becomes the bait. If it was just for looks, the Gold LMs a winner.

Goodluck anyway.

the 05 and 06 brakes are the same.
if he says they wont clear, they probably wont
but if you put a spacer on they might.

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.

I agree, the smaller wheel in the front only really works well with muscle cars.

On another note, Rlee when are you going to post updated pictures of your car. I've been dying to see them forever (sorry for the thread hijack)
