I don't remember the first time I saw them, but I sure won't just see them drive by. long awaited dream came true and it took Rareamg/Fred to in convince me.

the unique REs will be missed (REs are for sale lol) but can't be happier with the decision to join the LM crowd.

and it's the first time I've ever wash the car knowing it will probably rain the next day. :rofl:

I do need to re-learn how to drive on 19" tho. already took a chunk out of the front tire when making a turn through dips.

quick pics after wash

Looks great Frank!!! I love your Carlsson kit as well

19s are definitely not meant for Los Angeles/SoCal roads but looks over comfort right guys?

Props to you man, your car is very clean. You definitely didn't mind spending some money.

thx.

nah...i had 4 sets of 19" previously. none of them were ever bent or curbed.

I do need to get use to it again. 18's definitely gave me a lot of freedom to roam.

I think I have been here to witness 4 or 5 sets of wheels and liked each iteration I thought you were done playing w/ the w203 after you got the w204 - Looks sexy as usual.

Seriously, you and rareamg should do a shoot together

Your new wheels are awesome (so were the old ones).

I noticed that you have two rear license plates. Why is that?

He lives overseas and for the summer he is here in SoCal.

It's much easier to have two plates. If you kept going overseas and coming back would you want to keep changing your Plates back and fourth?

I didnt think so. So just have both at the same time.

Now that you switched back to 19's, I'm glad I didn't let you convince me in buying a set of BBS 18's back then LOL.

what's wrong is that they're champions and they're on yours and not mine.
