first few mods (need advice on wheels)
Ok, so i've had my car for about a year now and decided to start on mods already. So far i have about 1g's now for a set of tires, but saving up some more since i prefer 19's.
I am debating on whether i should get MANDRUS MILLENIUMS or MRR GT1. I have no plans in dropping my car. I'd like to just make it have a WOW factor compared to stock w203's.
So far here are my mods and I am proud to say everything i bought came from fellow members and sponsors.
Tints
Flat bagde
Clear side markers
Chrome door pins
Med kit
Next mods to follow:
Front lip
Wheels and tires
EWD (Early warning Device for trunk) anybody know where i can get this?
Comments are welcome. See classifieds for OEM stuff im selling.

so far here in san antonio tx around 1600 to 1700 with tires and tax alrdy installation etc. Milleniums will cost me around 1580. My wife likes the GT1 as well but i heard that TSW (makers of mandrus) have a good rep etc.
like member TA-9FF his car looks really nice with the Gt1's with no drop. I have the same color as his car

ohhh yeah....TA's ride looks so clean! a drop would look real nice too!
Mandrus is good cuz i think that they make wheels exclusively for MB's. dont quote me on that, but i think ive read somewhere that said it.
but the GT1's i heard are very good qualitywise. I've gotten recs from a guy who said LUXE WHEELS LX3 is the exact same as GT1, except a little cheaper (but same quality) and instead of the polish finish on the lip on the GT1, the LX2's got a chrome lip....
consider that too.

265 on the rear and 235 in front. That's what they adviced me on the milleniums. They said that they were exclusively made for MB's. Im around a 60% for MRR and 40% on milleniums just because they are made for MB's.
The ride of TA is what im trying to achive for. Nice and clean

they even guaranteed me if i get milleniums, no rubbing issues (even with three fat chicks in the back) that's what the salesman said. LOL!
