BTW I promise to look out for you, like I said I know the shop owner and he comes across wheels very often.
If another set comes by consider them yours before they even go on ebay!

I am having mixed feelings about the CF trunk spoiler, dont get me wrong fitment is 10/10. What do you think about a paint matching trunk, CF roof, and CF diffuser? maybe itll look better that way

Looks good, great choice of wheels for the car. ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I think the fronts will rub a little bit too, probably would have been better to go with 225s up front. Vredsteins are great tires though, I'm running those on my 19s.
If you want the CF to look more subtle, consider some tint/darker tails/etc. I think that would make it contrast much better.

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, I actually like those rims. And coming from me that's saying A LOT!
My ideal rims are the 07 ones though.

Those are my absolute favorite W203 wheels. I want a set of those with dedicated summer tires, and my stock 07 wheels for dedicated winter tires.

Thanks guy I am just happy shes finally coming together after a year of being the owner

Ive heard people talk about painting carbon fiber, is that possible or would it be wasting money as opposed to just selling it and buying a plastic one color matched?
All your feedback is helpful!

I'm not a fan of the roof spoiler. It just seems too 80's, color match the trunk spoiler and you'll be in business.
Other wise your cars coming along scary quickly, also nicely.

white and whiter
235/40/18 on the W203 is a little big when you lower the car since they have larger diameter to even 235/35/19. the leading edge of the tire will get eat up by the fender if you go over bumps or dips while turning.
