Thanks... but in reality, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Everyones car is beautiful especially to their owners.

Car looks good. Just ordered a set of BR02's for my wife 2012 C300. Used the same tire setup as you as well. Thanks for sharing the details.

Very cool. If you are running the 10s in the rear, it will rub on big dips, especially if you have a full trunk or people in the back seat.

You need to peel off the old-fashioned D label since those went away when the EU arrived.

I saw that you had mentioned that somewhere as well. It's just the 2 of us right now so hopefully we don't have to many issues with this.

Can't wait to get the wheels but unfortunately I have to. I was told it was going to take 2-3 weeks.

So I finally received the wheels on Friday. Overall I like the wheels however it seems to me the rear tires are too skinny for these rims. There seems to be quite a bit of exposed rim. Do you have this same issue with yours?

I like your wagon better than the C.
