after i put my BRABUS wheels on the car feels=?
the car doesn't feel as stable as before with my new 18 inch wheels on.My car felt a lot more tight and crispier with my original amg 17 inch wheels ,the car was more responsive when i had to steer the wheel.There is nothing wrong with the suspension or the front axle or steering parts.My car was on a B-service last week, alles gut from the mechanic,he said take care of your car just the way you allways do.Just having a crazy feeling that i liked the 17 inch wheels on the car more and that gave me a greater steering feeling.Is this normal to have this feeling=?My Brabus wheels are original 18 inch Monoblock V, split rims.My new brabus wheels looks fat on my car i just love em'
BTW how can i tell if my steering damper is on its way out>?

I put a set of 17s on my old car (E420) - during the colder months I'd put the 15s back on... and the car felt much better to drive (and ride). It was more responsive and cushier...

possibly unsprung weight.. adversely affects the performance of ur suspension.. probably just too heavy. stick on 19" and it'll bring down ur performance..

I have 18" E55 Monoblocks on my C43....I bought the car with them so I can't comment on the before/after deal. But you'll probably just have to get use to the bigger tires.
