Absolutely gorgeous wheels...and car - nice choice.

Is it me or do the wheels in the "box pics" look painted and the wheels on the car look polished? Regardless, the mounted pics are the perfect finish, one of the nicest set ups I have seen yet - although I would have put tires on that actually fit = ) ( I do know that was your intent, still cannot understand why you guys are doing that - guess I am officially old...)

Nope, I'm not that old and I don't get it either. To each their own though. The rims do look good.

Cleanbenz: car looks sick! Nice job.

Lol!!! Yeah, I was wondering why you thought it was too high! I'm on H&R coils at max low. Can't get these cars any lower than this. it sucks our fronts won't go down any more than they do. I think I'm going to pull the bottom spring perch lock out and get that extra 1/4" drop. The top perch can't go anywhere as it sits on the sway bar brackets. As far as spacers I think I'm leaving it alone. There is only 2mm between the fender and tire right now, anymore and it'll rub. These wheels were my test to see if I wanted to drop the money on the Adv 1's. I'm loving the look so I'm going for it. I'll be selling these as soon as I can save up enough to buy the adv 1's.

Totally understand your view man, stretch isn't for everyone. I'm new to MB but coming from Audi's/VW's with euro stance I couldn't help myself. This car needs to have a wide stance IMO.

BTW, I went with a 235/35 rear as the 225/35 was far more sterch than the 215 in the front. Had to match the amount of stretch front and rear.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Much appreciated.

Different perspective for those who questioned my lowness nice rear camber shot too! my driveway is a bit uneven, there isn't any front gap on level ground.

You definitely feel the road more but it's the sacrifice I'm willing to make for looks. Still a great ride though.
