looking for new rims...

pm me if your selling rims.

was looking at this style http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price i think it will look real good on the w203. i currently have brabus mono vi reps that im sick off. also i got a new paint job so out goes the old rims. also im looking at 19" to make it look lower.. if i dont end up getting rims i might be interested on coilovers also. and if anyone out there knows a good place to recondition my old rims let me know. lastly i dont want any other color but silver. not painted silver but polished silver. PEACE!!!!

lol 19" gonna make it look higher because there's less sidewall on the tires to gives the optic illusion that the gap became bigger.

mmmmm.... good point! dint think of it that way... well i guess i could stick to 18 since 19's usually get bent. i really need a lip for my bumpers to make it look lower.. arent you selling rims frank? post me a link.

EDIT: i actually have another post on exterior parts. im looking ONLY for clip-ons. i dont want to replace my whole bumpers since i just got a wash over.
