They do look good.

Haven't been on in a while, but the car is doing great. Switched to 18" BBS RX for a while (can't find a photo ATM) but then switched to 19" BBS CK... front was raised a little after this.

I can't believe its already been a year since I got the Benz. It has had no problems and the only routine maintenance required is changing out the wheels and tires constantly. :rofl

I went with some sl55 turbines

Haven't updated this in a while. The car was doing great until it died on the freeway. Turned out to be a bad fuel pump & or sender (replaced them both).

The car is now on 2pc AMG BBS wheels, not much else has changed... I'm still in love with the car.

Next is figuring out why the AC does not really blow out the passenger side upper vents, only the drivers side.

The W203 HVAC system under the dash is notorious for breaking control arm levers and having the stepper motors fail. MB came out with a stronger lever which you can find on eBay, or a kit, so they won't break again. See the attached PDF.
If you have a SDS, you can find which motor or lever is not working.
I have a bad motor or lever in the passenger footwell, and the parts in hand, but have not torn it apart yet. It's a pretty big project that requires all the console and part of the dash to be removed to get to it. A nice summer day project when I have time and nothing else to do.

Fantastic, thank you for the information! For the time being, I'm trying to avoid pulling apart the dash simply because the AC works great for me and the car is my daily commuter. I appreciate the information and will definitely save the PDFs if I ever tackle it.

Loved the BBS wheels, but the AMG 2 piece wheels look good too.
