I tried some 19s ran 10mm spacers all around H&R super sport lowering springs #2 pad ,
Thats exactly what im going to do wrap the bumper,tops of fender and hood.IMHO 19's are too much on a w202.Those wheels are different as mine have a concave.deep design.Thats what i was going for.But those on the white are hot!

Thx man. I took a metal drill brush and got a good amount of dirt and rust off wiped it down a few times then used rust oleum High temp heat
thought about the clear gloss but the spray was hi gloss maybe on the next set 2 coats 10 minutes apart and used two garage bags to cover around caliper
