I am waiting to hear your impresions on the coilovers you are going to install.

Did you have any rubbing on you tire an wheel set up on your old MB?
I'll have to check my car to see tthe plastic you are talking about. I will actually also know soon if i will need to roll my fenders when my new wheels come.

Sure I will let you know the impressions of the coilovers once there installed. My installer is actually going on a vaction monday and wont be back till next monday! So i have to wait a week.

Yes, i did rub a little bit with the SSRs on my old car. The rear was low and was tucking a little bit and it rubbed over bumps and turns in the rear. I was able to eliminate alot of it by cutting out some of that carpet material in the fender. The font also rubbed on tuns a little bit. It was only very minor rubbing that caused no damage to anything at all.

these wheels are so played out.
but yeah the pix don't do justice.
I have a friend who has the same rims on his c32 AMG and it simply looks amazing. Even to the point where my mom goes nice car.

Sorry those number included tires.

Tires were about $240 each front, $290 each rear.

My BMW X5 20" wheels tires were around $500 each so I thought they were cheap.
