Thanks. You need to buy shorter lugs. I used 28mm lugs with full tread.

Actually, they are really OEM SL500 wheels. I've been eyeing these wheels ever since. . .

It's not really lowered yet. I used MS Paint to accomplish the look. Nice ha?

In this one I'll point out my recently finished FMIC on the 1.8T =). I'm trying to ***k around with a CL-grille to feel out the "width" look... just to test drive until I'm ready to kill it, and I've recently done the E-class mirror upgrade (the no brainer way).

Thanks .

Well everyone's got their own DIY, slice and dice way of installing the e-class blinkers... I literally just tapped and spliced in. Reversible and 15 minutes? Just picture me pulling up to Rusnak, picking up the blinkers, and installing it in the service driveway and then vrooming off, haha.

Thank you sir, looks to me like we've got some CF hood action going on? . Yeah, the offsets are perfect, clearing my AMG fronts by 2 credit cards thick, lol.

Haha - now now, we should all be appreciative of the world's luck . Now would that be the BBS-LM bandwagon or just the BBS bandwagon in general? Speaking of which, how many 203s do we have in the bandwagon? Could make for an interesting meet!
