thanks guys for the kind words. i think it looks really aggressive b/c of the smoked taillights. it really looks mean in person. the tires are goodyear eagle F1 gs-d3-- 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear.

Also, how do you like the Eagle's compared to your previous (Pirelli's?). They look AGGRESSIVE.

hey scoop, i think if u want ur C55 to look MEAN, u should smoke them taillights. ur car is black also and it looks really mean in black. i had my body shop smoked the lights. the finish is very shiny and professionally done. DO IT and u won't regret it.

sorry, forgot to answer ur questions about the tires. i only had the wheels and tires mounted this weekend and only driven it for about 30 miles. it definitely hooks up alot better than the pirellis. i think the wider treads contributes to that also. the ride is really not that different to the stock rims and tires.

your car looks awesome! I like!
the smoked 3rd brakelight is hott!
man, I never thought about vogtland springs b/c I thought H&R or Eibach were supposed to be better. But, it seems like a lot of C32 and C55 owners are using vogtland. so if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me!
