Nice! But it must be nightmare to own a black car in your neighborhood! (Construction Zone!) Very nice wheels. How's the steering feel around turns with that offset, trouble with it self-centering or no? Personally I would remove the lower chrome strips along the doors.

What's the easiest way to get the chrome strip off and will it be discolored?

Beautiful car, beautiful wheels, beautiful stance...one of the nicest I have seen - well done.

So I know all the jokes about the sticker..2 in the...1 in the......but what is this actually from? Is it a company logo or something?

1200W Blow dryer on hot works great. No need to buy a heat gun. 40lb or better fishing line... 20 min a side... use pure naphtha (home depot) to remove any and all glue residue (will not harm paint) ... than apply a nice coat of your best wax... viola... perfection!

Comedian Dane Cook. It's called "The Shocker".
I think its hilarious, but it doesn't belong on a Mercedes.

Looks Good, Classic Wheels. I removed the chrome strip. Especially on black it looks sportier without it.

Hold off on the lip for about 4-6 weeks. Then measure the height off the ground the lip will give you. Then go measure the curbs and parking stops where you commonly park!
