W203E35

I don't get why people do this "stance" stuff. Don't their tires wear out quicker because of the camber?

FrankW

yes they do. it also stiffens up the sidewall way too much.

91RS

Yes, and it rides, drives, and looks like complete ***.

phister

Stance really refers to the angle of how your car it lowered or looks from a profile look IMO. Style is more of the car looks as a whole with the stretched tires and over all looks, like "VIP", "bippu", "Lux" style.

How can you say you dont like the "STANCE" of this car drag car



or this MB or EVO stancs... looks like plenty of side wall and rubber too me

It runs the tyre completely outside it's design parameters which can lead to failure - especially at high speed.

By stance I mean the one in the pic with the car that looks like it's riding on half of the tire lol

I have matte black 19 inch NKB Elite 7x (Which look identical to Miro 111s) on my E92 and they're great looking wheels. However, I don't think I'd put it on my w203 or any w203 for that... that style of wheel is mostly for BMWs (i.e. competition package for M3).

Karo i think you should do this

phister

My friends crew calls that caveman style looool

These wheels were actually built by B. Gorman from this forum MBworld + A5 is sexyyy

mskembo

The A5 is sexy, still don't like the rear rims sitting out as much as those do. The front of that car looks Perfect!

W203E35

That car is ridiculous. But I guess to each their own

anonymousmoose

what the bloody-heck... I've never seen anything like it. It's absolutely horrid

C230 Mulac

what does it mean for a car to be "on bags?"

phister

"on bags" means air ride suspension



different types of air struts

C230 Mulac

i love the guy in the video, he's like "now what the f*** is this?!"

C230 Mulac

oh i see, what is the reason to put your car on something like this?

mskembo

Air ride is very comfortable and smooth, it also gives you the ability to lower or raise the car depending on need. I.E. raised for driving, and even more for going over obstacles (like speed bumps) lowered for looking cool when parked. If done right, then air suspension is the way to go, but it's usually not done right.

C230 Mulac

i think i'll pass on the air ride, i don't really wanna f*** with my suspension. it's a nice balance between handling and comfort.

FrankW

the C63 and the blue EVO doesn't have the wheels sticking out & they are not slammed. the C63 is actually the evosport widebody.

the rest with the rim sticking out pass the fender are terrible. why bother getting a performance coupe or roadster and having the wheel sticking out with stiff stretched sidewall that serves no performance purpose. it's not like we're talking about drift cars that stretch the tires to stiffen the sidewall on purpose to help them drift.

C230 Mulac

+1, not only does it look stupid but it doesn't really do anything for you except strain the car way past what it's meant to sit at and puts unneccessary wear and tear on it

Midnight Koop

ok so i saw these in person on the road... and i have to retract my previous comment because these are siiiick!

now the question is... should i get silver or custom powdercoat gunmetal for my blue coupe?

eesjunin

I have to second that! CLS rims look unreal!

phister

Cls wheels are sexy for our cars. Too bad I didn't keep mine for a second set.

eesjunin

WHAT?
