I think this all depends on the design of the wheel (spoke) and the brake. Do you have the SS brakes?

Mine is 38 with 7mm spacer and barely clearing it. But on the rear it's 38 without spacers.
If you have hubcentric spacers I think the vibration might be something else

The problem with a white car and a black wing is you have to do everything perfect. If the fitment is just a little off you can tell big time.

I have seen an E class done the way I wanted to do mine and it looked pretty good. I think to get a perfect look it's all about fitment and using authentic parts.

Like you I am having doubts about the black white theme. Since you want to get the carlsson kit you should definitely do all one color.

I liked the rims you had on previosly, Personally.
The black ones arent bad at all, their just not my type.
Everyone has their own opinion :P great job though.

Hey man, What's wrong with your PC. Let me check to see if I got anything going on this weekend and I'll take a look at it. Couple of the guys were gonna give a crack at Windows 7 "literally a crack" loool

Let me see what's going on and i'll keep you posted. I want to go with a black Vinyl roof.

What can you do for me? Hit me up on the Down Low
