The Best Of Both Worlds With My New Sevas Shoes Pics

I couldn't make up my mind on which wheel to get so I went with both. For those of you wondering styles offsets and ect, here you go:

Driver Side
Sevas S-55 - Black Chrome Lip
20x8.5 ET 40mm - 225/30/20
20x10 ET 25mm - 245/30/20

Passenger Side
Sevas S-22 - Black Chrome Lip
20x8.5 ET 40mm - 225/30/20
20x10 ET 25mm - 245/30/20

No rubbing at all!

The pictures were taken right after install by the shop so the car was dirty. I will be posting pics with the car looking super clean to get the full effect of the shine all over and greased up tires. And by the way the car is going to be lowered even more because I have space to do more, I should have never lifted my car to the hight it's at now...it's still much lower than most CLK's but I'm going lower tomorow like it was before.

All I have to say is that if you want to go with 20's ...do it because it's all a myth around this forum about not being able to fit 20's. And if you do go with 20's make it sporty so it doesn't look cheap. I tried my best to find an affordable 1 piece and did so. I won't buy 3pcs wheels anymore...they're an f**** head ache, I've had 2 sets already and have always had a hard time getting them balanced.

Hope you like my new shoes

Thanks for the compliment...calipers are painted black...I might go red but if the breaks aren't real big boys I'll feel like I'm being a posser.

I tried to get my local guy that did my Carlsson kit to paint my grill but he said I had to strip the chrome off it? I don't know the process of it but if you have any info on it please let me know.

they did take off the chrome to make the paint stick....he might just be lazy about doing it...I think I just got lucky with this Persian guy that liked my car. You might just need to try another place that wants to do it for you.
