Btw! When you were temporarily running SL wheels, were they a direct fit and what size spacers were you running at the time? I'm quite curious and might be looking into picking up a set! They looked great on your car when you had them! :-P

hmm if you're talking about alphards..they are 8,5 ET35 and 9,5 ET40. I was running no spacer in front (no coilovers) and 20mm's (or 16mm, not sure, sorry) at rear, with 225 40 R18 front and rear tyres

oh! thats not alphards, but yes they are also SL wheels (botth models have equiped the SL)..they are also OEM 8,5ET35 and 9,5ET40, but my setup in that picture was 4 wheels 8,5ET35. I was running the same 16mm's (i guess) rear spacers and in that time I was running also 3mm front spacer. They look great on w203 imo..but they're too much OEM for me..
with porsche's I plan to get the same clean look, but with the impact of the 10" rear wheels and the innovation of fit porsche wheel on a merc...I never seen any w203 with that

Hello! Nice rims but in my opinion they are not really for Benz. I prefer the OEM rims to other brands wheels. For sure it is going to be a uniqe with Porsche rims.
I have sold the CLS and either the 19" AMG rims. I have a flat in process, I invested almost all of my money in it but I hope it is worthy.
On other hand I have a set of Schmidt Th line 14" for sale yet. They are really beutiful but for me totally useless, only for deal...

thanks for comments 
well, i like many bimmer wheels, but i love the porsche ones and I think i will like the result..
about the offset, well, i allready know willtheyfit.com, I used it many times before..but I think 25mm spacers is good fot what I need..let's see... if not then i will have a serious problem because I just like to see wheels if they have the correct poke...

yep, definitely diff but nicee
so envy of having porsche wheels.
ur rear ET 22 right? go bigger than 9mm spacer. i think final ET 10 is the best look hehe :P, but u need more camber and fender roll if u wanna lower more

yes 22 tiga, with the 9mm spacer it will be ET13, I know that would be better with more poke, but i'm afraid that with the 9mm it will rubb..
I'm thinking about get some coilovers because if the car isnt really lowered, no one wheel set will look perfect on the car
