I'll have to lower it, i don't want it to look like my mom's ML. So it's either lowering with 18s or 19s. I'm assuming the best look would be lowering with 19s but it would also be the worst ride quality.

you won't notice much esp. since the roads in your neck of the woods are paved like gold. do the 19's and then lower with H&R cup kit. make sure you allign your wheels as the rears will wear down quickly if you don;t.

I'm thinking of just maybe using Tein SS springs with stock shocks for now. I did buy a set of stock 05+ sport suspension of someone on the forum but the A$$hole never sent them and kept my money.

His name was dino_racing i believe. I'm interested in those zenn springs but i don't want to be the guinea pig. I know the Tein name is trusted and i've seen a few cars with them on here.

I was acutally looking at your car for a reference earlier. Only thing is these are like bremma replicas. Plus the c32 suspension height seems a little lower. Does your rub at all? What width tire are you running in the back?

you're right! it is a reverse "K".... regardless i am really liking the kleemann setup on raklert's ride. keeps the car looking European.

and for the new rims, im sorry Moze, but the rims belong on a '99 civic (just my opinion!)

I think the wheels look pretty good. Like others said, that gap is horrible!

I don't get it though. Did your car sit lower with the stocks?

friend of mine has the same wheels on his c class. it looked HORRIBLE when he first put them on. after a drop, the car looks HOT. drop it, if you do the labor it should cost no more then about $100.

Eh not bad! looks like the wheels some guy was selling on the boards and craigslist off his M3.

Anyway, a very typical design somewhat OLD and outdated.

THUMB DOWN!

Preference of aftermarket wheels

If you were looking for used aftermarket wheels, would you prefer buying them with tires or without tires?

depends on the condition of the tires. if the tires are still pretty good then with tires, if they need to be replaced then without.

Also, make sure the sizes of the tires are correct for your car application if you want to buy with the tires.

What if the tires have only 50% tread left?

Well that all depends on the price. I'd buy with 50% tread left for the right price.

yep, and what brand are they? if they were PS2's or something good, probably, but if they're some no name or really cheap brand, I wouldn't bother.
