Hi, everyone! I've been reading the forum for quite a while.
This is my daily ride...
+ Mercedes Benz C250 2012 CGI Avantgarde Panoramic
+ Suspension: BC Racing Coilover V1 Series
+ Rims: AMG Style III Type R20 staggered 8.5"/9.5" ET43
+ Tires: Accelera Phi 245/30/20 front, 255/30/20 rear
+ Inner fenders have been rolled to avoid rubbing
There is some occasional tire rubbing on the front left (passenger) side. That is why the car is not lowered too much. I'm seriously considering to switch to R19 rims. Still looking for the "right" one though.
Regarding rims for W204, somehow in Jakarta (or everywhere?) the trend is fitting Japanese rims (ie: Rays/Volk Racing, SSR, Weds/Kranze, Work) onto German cars. It's like wearing sneakers with suits (which is cool nowadays *smile*).
Here are some pix:

Rear is okay!
Hard turn can be problematic!

Prior to the white C250 2012, my ride was a black C250 2010 with C63 bodykit. The rim was ADV.1 rep R20 8.5"/9.5" ET45 and then replaced with AMG Style III Type 1 R20 8.5"/9.5" ET43.

My third BENZ sedan . . .

After driving a good sized SUV for three years straight I felt the NEED FOR SPEED! I found this nice 2014 C300 4MATIC Sport sedan with only 60,000 miles on the clock at my local FORD dealership. After driving her for 24 hours (test drive) I had to make her mine.

Been a while since I've been on the forums, got rid of my purple VMR's and went Gunmetal Grey Enkei GTC01RR, Blacked out Headlights with Profile V1. LED high beam units and yellow PPF over headlights. custom vented CF fenders. Quick release buttons for the bumper, updated ceramic coated FMIC and I'll be swapping to a Turbosmart plumback DV soon, the GFB VTA isn't my cup of tea and I can't seem to find the parts from my old GFB DV+ lol.

Threw in some LED bulbs on my puddle lights earlier and decided to bite the bullet and replace all interior lights with LED’s.
The only problem I ran into was the footwell lights flickering with the doors open, but once the car is on they work just fine. (And I cracked the driver’s overhead light cover but no biggie because it’ll never be taken off again during my ownership)
The yellowish tint is from my garage overhead light. As for the purple/bluish light in the driver’s footwell, I replaced it with a white one after taking the photo, not sure why it was purple but oh well, problem solved.
Anyone who hasn’t done this yet, I HIGHLY recommend it. I no longer feel like I’m driving a car from 2010, almost feels like an airport in there or something.

Here's my $6000 beater. Did NOT look like this when I bought it. I completely did a paint correction and added some tid bits. I've had all kinds of cars and IF I modify the suspension, it will be with AIR. No more coilovers for me!!!! .

PERFECT stance! When you say inner fenders have been "trimmed" do you mean you cut the metal on the inside of the fender wells????

I went to a body shop specialized in "bending fender":
Sorry video in bahasa Indonesia. But you can imagine their technique. They use a special tool and a heat gun. It has to be done very slowly & carefully because W204 fenders are fragile. For 4 fenders they charge approx US$80... a 2-3 hour work.
