woops haha
I am giving back my car to my lease since it has expired what should you guys think i should do with my rims since my old stock 16" rims wore out and i have since replaced the tires and stock rims for brabus 18" rims with tires.
My tires are still hardly worn and i don't wanna give them my rims so should i just buy the regular tires from mercedes put them on my stock rims and then give em back to the dealer? will it be cheaper?

i have the original rims though one is a lil banged up
if i buy used tires do they have to be the same brand name as the ones i originally got? if thats the case it would be easy too replace and very cheap!
still deciding what car to get next....i like the CLS though it seems a lil over budget...the new SLK55 too impratical...the CLK i dun like the coupe look and i i have a pet peeeve for soft tops...C55 jus about right though the new model change is coming up so im hesitant plus the car pretty much looks like my C240..saw the new C6 conv in person i didnt like it...
honestly for me to drop like 80 G canadian i wanna be in love with a car but lately i have seen nothing which gave me love at first sight...back years ago i fell in love with the C class but damn so many now plus the HP suked on mine i got bored pretty quick..

it doesn't have to be the original tires. any tire will do.
the CLS is
IMO, but my opinion might change as time goes. who knows. 
wait a little longer if you looking for new ride. The new 3-series is coming and from the spy photos it doesn't look too bad.

'02 C230K Coupe
I think the new C55 is a waste of money and weight (no supercharger). I'd recommend a new '04 C32 AMG over a C55. Also, have you looked at an E500 or E55 AMG ('04 or '05)? Those still have the practicality of a sedan while having good power and road presence.

ima lil nervous bout the lease inspection crap...
actually im seriously considering getting a used G35 coupe and keeping it until i find somthing i like alot.
Slam some 19" HRE on the g35 and i think it could look real nice.
Any one got pics of a souped up g35?
Any idea how much HRE is gonna cost me?

As for rim damage, if its less than the size of a credit card, it'll pass.
