New Carlsson shoes for my 2009 C350
They are new Carlsson CR 1/10 GE on Continental ContiSportContact 5P in sizes 225/35/19 front and 255/30/19 rear.
The set comes with 5mm spacer and it's installed on the rear.
First pic is a comparison of my GE (Graphite Edition) with colour BE (Brilliant Edition). As well as some pics of post-installation alignment work. And a few more pics in the next thread. Hope you guys like them.

Looks beautiful man, nice choice of wheels...Confused on the first pic, did you have the brilliant first and change to the graphite? Or, are you just showing the options?
(I personally like the all one color "brilliant" wheels myself, but both are extremely good looking wheels...)
Nick picky...can the Carlson lettering be removed or no?

Thanks for all your comments!!!
To Scat01:
The first pic is just to show the color options.
And since the lettering is engraved, I don't think it can be removed.
To Matt_Eurojerks, maverickvii, and ZeroSeVen:
Yes I agree that if I drop the car, it would look much better. But since I have the Sports Agility Package, I'm still feeling iffy about installing lowering springs onto these electro-magnetic stiffing shocks. Since I haven't had much research on it and haven't really heard from people about long-term reliability after installing it, I don't wanna mess with the current set up.

Why did you need spacers? I asked Carlsson and they said for W204 those wheel can be fitted without spacers. Here they are:
Front 8.5 x 19 offset 45 tire 225/35R19 or 235/35R19
Rear 9.5 x 19 offset 50 tire 255/35R19 or 265/30R19
So do you need new sets of wheel lug bolts or you still use yours stock one? Thanks!

he wants them to stick out a little more, 50 offset is rather pushed in like stock wheels, the further they stick out the more aggressive. Its totally up to the owner if they wanna use spacers
