lol I totally understand. I like that fat tyre look from the back so I am curious how wide the max fit is. Any idea? 285's would look insane
I will be looking forward to see how they look and fit.

NO WAY! It could be done by the 17th and be ready to be shipped by the 19th and get here by the end of the month Most likely not but that would be perfecttt.

It all depends if there is more room than the W204. I know a 275 will work for sure. Id rather have a 10 in the back with a higher offset than 9.5 lower offset but then it has to clear the brakes.

I'm sorry but that just doesn't look good in my opinion. Maybe if it was dropped a few inches or so it would look a bit better.
I'm sure it would look good on a ferrari or lambo but not on a merc

Red does look good on a Merc... Just cause its a Mercedes doesn't mean certain stuff can't be done to it. It just has to be done right. If youre gonna throw red wheels on a car the car better look aggressive. Stock red wheels don't work for sure. Here are some Mercedes that have red wheels that

Im not a fan of the Wald S class though. Prior Design probably would have done it better

I usually stick to stock but if I had to choose I would go bronze. I used that Lambo pic and did a very ****ty photo shop on a designo white c63s. I did a decent job on the front wheel but the rear looks bad due to the angle of the rim. I hope this helps.

That helps so much. I was going to go into this without knowing what it would look like. Im definitely going with the bronze. Thank you sir. Wheels have been chosen and now the color has too.

Which RIM's did you go with? I assume HRE's because that is all the pictures you are posting reflect them. I know which HRE's I am thinking about for my baby.

I will not say what I'm thinking!!! hahah

HRE's are not cheap but well worth it. I just have a hunch that the lease will be more then I expected.

The wheels I'm getting retail for just as much as HREs plus their quality is just as good. Service is much better. I just can't say which ones I'm getting.

They are a light weight performance wheel with that custom textured bronze finish.

I agree it needs to have an aggressive look and your pics do make it look better. Maybe if I was 25 years younger but those days are gone

I know what you mean lol Im still a youngin so it looks good to me if its done right. I plan on changing my wheels yearly but i don't think red is a color i could have for a whole year. I think I would get tired of it fast.

I like the cross spoke black 19" that are coming for MY 2016, BUT Aman has started something evil....

I may just get some black or gunmetal HREs as well and just go with the no-cost 5 spokes initially. Something to think about...

probably would.......I didn't have those colors long.......the tint brush clear was really nice, the dark tint clear is kind of like charcoal; which I had too
now the P41's are battleship grey I think that's 5 or 6 colors just for one set.....my other set has only had a few.....stock wheels have been sitting for years and are basically brand new.......

how do you dress normally? I think that'll help.

are you a wild or understated person. flashy, just right, toned-down? Do you ever wear a red shirt or pants? red shoes? red cap?

Car is like an accessory for a guy, do you bling out your watch, hat, shoes, belt buckle?

are you a track ***** or clubber or daily commuter?

I am going understated dark mean **** look all the way! gets the ladies, if you know what i mean.

Not gonna lie saying the car is accessory totally makes sense.

I dress nice to work but as soon as I'm done with work I change into sweats or shorts and a t shirt even if I'm going out to run errands. I dress like a bum if I'm not working. I have nice shoes but I wear my black ripped toms everywhere. My accessories are always on point though.

Yeah I'm going bronze. The car will be heavily modded. As soon as parts come out ill likely get them

Lip, diffuser, and spoiler
Exhaust
Coilovers
Downpipe, Midpipe, Tune, and intake (not to sure about the intake, every intake I got for the 335i always made it lose power)

What ever else will look good and make the car go fast
