New rims! How do they look?
What do you guys think? I am having some rubbing issues and steering wheel wobbles past 35mph any insite? THe guy at the rim shop told me it may be the cheap spacers that the guy gave me but im not to sure about that. Input much appreciated!

I don't think they are terrible. They probably look nice at speed. The wobble is the spacers, period...How thick are the spacers?

Yeah it may be the spacers but i tried to fix and the jackass that put them on put the lugs on so tight i can't even take them off by hand. Yeah i guess its the spacers. THe ones on there right now are 5mm spacers and they seemed kinda flimsy, basically they were universal spacers so there wasn't much material to them. Thanks for the input I think the rims look sick but they will probably look better once I do some more stuff like carbonfiber lips and stuff but well see.

I think they would look better in person than in the photos. Generally for me, wheels with depth look real good, esp on the C55, which is why I think the stock wheels were designed just right. Wheels that are only bright on the outside surface don't do the wheel nor the car's fenders justice.

Hey Versace,
OT here.
I love Porsches as much as anyone out there, but I am not sure why someone would put a Porsche front logo plate on a Mercedes.
Your profile doesn't list a Porsche. Are you a big fan?

i think they are on the border of i like them vs. they could grow on me, but it's also a lot of bling in them, i don't know, perhaps something more subtle would work better
where exactly is the rubbing?
the wobbling is mostlikely the spacers or hubcentric rings, even a poor balance? which i doubt since they mounted them they better have balanced them properly.

I had cheap spacers on my old eclass that some bogus wheel place out of cali sent me that did the same thing, found a decent set and never had any other problem. If you can get that cleared up, keep em...they actually look as long as you dont follow up with chrome headlight rings. Keep it clean
