they are nice wheels... look just like the Lowenhart LT6... their actually made by Lowenhart as well so they are good quality rims... I've actually seen that 4 door silver benz with the rims and it looks really nice...

If you really like them then buy them. You will regret it down the line if you don't buy the ones that you really wanted only because a few people said they looked ghetto. I originally wanted those btw. Personally they look different and you won't be drowned in the sea of AMG/Brabus knockoff's. Good luck and post pics when you get your rims on.

I dont know who's car that is
But whomever they are needs a bit of knowledge in suspension.
1) Its blatently obvious the car is no where near proper counterweight just by looking at it.
2) The driver side rear camber is off at least 10 degrees
3) The rear "appears" to be sitting lower then the front. I dont know what he has in the trunk but that is not a healthy setup.

It may "look good" for asthetic purposes. But functionality isnt there. That setup is actually extremely detrimental to the strut towers. Plus.. considering the camber of the rear weels is so terribly off i would bet they go thru a set of rears because of tramlining at least once every 6000 miles.
That seems to be the problem with kids today. Their parents buy them cars and the first thing they need to do is slam them. Cut the springs.. install Coilover kits w/o realizing the dependencies. When installing suspension parts, many things need to be taken into account. For example, Camber... the angle of the wheel in respect to a flat surface. The rear camber on that car is at least 7-10 to the negitive aspect off. This causes poor cornering and traction. In a rear wheel drive car this is a REAL problem. "Cutting the springs" which seems to be a thing to do as well. Unless you can guarantee that you cut the springs to within a millimeter of each other, there is no way to guarentee proper corner weighting. From the look of the car it seems to be very driver side biased. Whomever installed that kit didnt know if he should scratch his watch or wind his ***.
*SIGH* Ok.. no flames this is just the truth. Unless you know what you are doing or have someone who knows what they are doing dont attempt to put this stuff in yourself. You are bound to screw something up.

It’s his car, let him do what he wants… if he wants to slam the heck out of it, let him… people who do this to their cars don’t do it for functionality… it’s strictly aesthetics… to be different… to get away from the norm… to put a bit of individuality into their vehicle… but you make it seem like people who do this to their cars are unintelligent and have no common sense… they do it because they choose to do it because they want their vehicle to look a certain way… ya someone lowering the car to any level of course it’s going to throw off the alignment and cause extreme camber and they know it but they choose to do so anyways… it’s a free a country and it’s his car… don’t flame the guy because he chooses to do something that you wouldn’t do…

Dam, we seemed to have drank a very large portion of HATERaid today. That C class is one of the nicest C classes I have seen on this forum. The wheels are nice, and the lowering might be a little lower then usual but still looks really good. Give credit where credit is due. Looks a lot better then some of these W203 with 18’ chrome with stock suspension.
