Unfortunately anything in 18" step lip makes it look small because of the 17" faces. Looks good but with 18" step lips for me you need more low to make it look right and that isn't happening with the suspension options we have. Looks great though, LM20 are my favorite CCWs.

Hell freakin yeah!!!

LM20's right? They look fantastic! I wanted classics on my 211 a LONG while back and John told me it wouldn't look right so I opted for the LM20's and he said it wouldn't look right either. Ended up getting the C2k's.

Regardless....car is lookin SICK!!!

looks really good. Much better than the old one.. too much like RS4 rims. I've been debating between the LM20 and the SP20 if I can't find a used one that will work for our cars properly.

Do you by any chance still have those F14s with you? I would happily consider taking them off your hands (unless they're 20s...they kinda look big. Socal roads would not approve). Car looks sick by the way.

Yeah, what rb23 said...Matte Black wheels always look dirty and small to me also, your car looks 100% better with the new polished wheels, nice choice.

meh. this is a daily driver, i've had slammed cars, and could slam this one if i wanted to, but don't feel the need as of right now. also, i love 18"s with step lip, i think it looks perfect. I've had several sets of 19"s in the past and the ride quality sucks IMO

thanks. I agree, I liked the all black look with the forgestars, but it was time for something new. I'm liking this look WAY better

That's cool. I have 18" step lip as well but just doesn't look like at certain angles. What are the offset on the CCW?

idk, i'm not a hypebeast so i don't think my car need to look as low as possible for the wheels to look right. i'd rather drive my car than stare at it.
Your LM's look nice btw awesome to see a set of authentic LM's on a w204.
As for the offset, honestly i don't know, I told john at CCW to make them fit the car properly, don't want excessive poke etc.. find it unnecessary. Going for the OEM+ look as opposed to the fitted/stanced/slammed look.
All that being said, i've considered some H&R coils to bring it down a touch more

Had to google hypebeast but I'm still not sure of the defintion I can assure you though I am not telling you to go for the slammed/stanced look if you don't like it. I was just stating that I believe 18" step lip looks small on the w204 at certain angles and wheel gap eliminates it a bit but to each his own


Thanks for the compliment. CCW LM20 were one of my choices. I was gonna get them in brushed gold with a polish lip but decided to go with the classic LMs. Either way I still love the new look and keep it up
