Nice looking wheels but they appear like they are the wrong offset for the car.

It's hard looking at it at an angle but it looks like your wheels/tires are poking out.

What are the offsets of your wheels?

You may rub when you decide to lower it or may may need to stretch your tires for it to work.

Decent looking wheels though.

I like the contrast of the OEM center caps w/the black rims
Can we see some side shots for a full view look at your ride with the new shoes??

From reading through his old posts. Your car might rub with those tires if you go lower. Surely in the front. Definitely in the rear.

His wheel specs are; 19x8.5, 9.5 ET +41 front and back.

Thanks, yeah the offset is 41. Not planning to lower because I have enough troubles making it up my driveway .

I think your right, if i went lower I would run into some issue's. I did a test run of a speed bump with the all the seats occupied, with winter tires/rims in trunk going 20 km/h didn't rub.

Man, my prev MB (08 C230 Sport) was Pewter... I miss that color! The black rims look tight! If I had your ride the only thing I'd so is some black vinyl on the roof & tints. The extra black will compliment your rims well. Either way nice ride!

looks cool! I was wonder what those style rims would look like in black. I bet it looks even better in real life.

Thanks! And I am getting my windows tinted in the next 2 weeks, hopefully less. And i was thinking of getting the roof wrapped in gloss black, we'll see about that one

Yep, they were powder coated. If you are going to change the colour of your rims defiantly go with powder coating. If you paint them you will notice they chip really easily. (made the mistake of painting the rims on my corvette).
