I've always liked BBS but never saw them on MBs, only VWs and BMWs. Unique, looks nice.

no spacers for the front. it comes with the BBS 5mm for the rear for the 18x9. perfect fitment. plenty of room for the coils too.

it's up in the air. here's my plan

1. red caps, bbs decals, and keeping it silver

2. powder coat black, time attack style red lip, and keep the black cap.

#1 would be my priority.
