I need help.......

I know this has been covered many time but i just can't find the anwser.
If i go with 18" or 19" wheels do I HAVE TO LOWER THE CAR? It seems obvious that i do not but let me know guy's. Also if you have any picks of a "C" with aftermarket wheels and not lowered please post.

thank's in advance,
robert.

You guys can do whatever you wan't. There is no rule that you have to lower your car. It would look nicer tough.

UKC32 thank you very much!! for the pick.
In Poland the roads are very bad, so i after i have lowered my former cars i have alway been mad about what did. Maybe this time i will be happy with the car.
one more thing, how is the ride , is it a lot harder or unnoticeble?
I wonder how 19" would ride?

Ride is only very slightly changed - but it will be more noticeable on 19's.

Also if the roads are really bad, the chance of wheel damage increases as the tyre sidewall decreases, specially if you hit a pothole...

UKC32 I love the rims. Question: Did you notice any significant loss in power or speed compared with your stock rims?

Thanks AMGDood

I never drove my car on stock rims, I had Brabus send the wheels to the dealer for him to fit pre-delivery, so I can't be specific.

But I have driven a few other C32's, and really can't tell the difference myself...and mine is still blindingly fast
