offset is too low if you plan on staying at that ride height. either lower the thing or put a set of wheels with the right offset on it. never a good look rolling around mexiflush bud!

looks great man!
but yea...definitely remove that "lip" thing you have under your bumper and get a legit one. That's the only part that's killing it right now.
Euroteck is a great place to grab one. I have all Euroteck on my car too and I have nothing but good things to say.

Never am I a fan of replicas, but I understand some people don't have the money to shell out for the real thing. Looks decent. Not sure about the garage lip thing though. Whatever works for you 
Yes, please explain how its "rice". Word is really being used incorrectly sometimes

I can see how some people will look down on replica wheels but it is like someone saying, I don't like base model C classes, but some people don't have the money for the V8, save up for a V8 and you'll be set.

I really don't get why some of you are giving him a hard time for rolling on reps!? Bbs wheel are very expensive to some and there is nothing wrong with getting the look you want at a much cheaper price. This MB community needs to stop being such snobs about things like this. His car looks clean and hot, no reason that rep wheels should change that. As far as it looking "ricer" it's not even close. Love the car Anthony, keep it up bro!

We're just not a fan of replicas. There are some replicas I do like though I must to admit because they look closer to the real thing. But, nowhere in our posts does it look like we are giving him a hard time. If people to get reps then go for it. Don't think you read our post clearly but I forgive you

Car looks beautiful, that bright red with the polished wheels must turn alot of heads - If he had the red center caps and did not mention the wheels were reps, would you guys be able to tell the difference between his wheels and Loonies from the pics he provided?
How are you guys seeing the home made lip so well? I have tried saving and enlarging the pics and everything else and cannot make it out at all???

Anytime it looks like you've "modified" your car so much that the suspension ended up collapsing on itself, it gives the ricer impression. That happens to be way to common on the clapped out ricers around ATL.
I think we all know the suspension is meant to be that low but it's too low for some tastes...but since it's your ride, it's perfect.

I could care less if they are replicas or if they are real. I'm completely biased and I am not a fan of BBS rims but those look damn good on your car. Keep up the work and remember that when you post things on public forums people will always state their opinions so you have to be willing to deal with them. Even the keyboard ninjas. I would personally recommend taking off the lip because it takes away from the car completely. Also your friend does good work on the photos so tell him to keep it up as well.

Caps won't fit. And I wouldn't put BBS caps on there anyways. Same principle as putting an AMG badge on a C300. Nothing wrong with rolling on reps as everyone has different financial situations. I believe there are BB5 caps out there though that will fit I've seen.
