Got the new wheels.

I just got my new wheels. I have to show them off. I went with the DWS Cont. So far I love the tire.

Looks really good! You should paint your grille black (like how mine is in my signature). It'll really bring out the chrome really well.

Maybe remove the chrome trim along the bottom of the doors, too. That piece seems like a leftover from the luxury model. Looks much better with it off.

Painting the grill is on my list of things to do. I have been waiting for better weather. Is the chrome trim just stuck on? Or would I have to fill holes? I also have new center caps on order.

The chrome is held on by tape.

But you still have the damn chrome trim on your doors. Don't make me drive to your house.

Car looks clean... classy looking set of wheels

Finish it off by painting the grille black and lower it.

I got my center caps in. I like them better than the big M. I also de-badged the back of the car. I will be painting the grill in the next couple of weeks.

Those center caps look great with the black wheels and I have always been a fan of debadging.

2009 C300 Sport 4Matic
Love the wheels. I was just looking at the hypersilver version. Those are 19's right? My car is a silver 4matic and I don't plan on lowering it. Trying to salvage as much of the ride as possible. Could I ask you to post a straight-on sideview picture. I tend to notice that wheels with a lip look better lowered than wheels without the lip. Also, is your car a 4matic and how's the ride now? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks.

Yes the wheels are 19'. My car is a 4matic. I haven't lowered it, but I might. Here is a side shot. Sorry about the quality, it was a little late in the day. The ride is a little firmer, but over all it still has a good feel to it. I personally like the ride.

If you lower it let me know what you decide to go with. I'm considering lowering my car as well, also a 4MATIC. What are the widths and offsets on the wheels?
