Very Nice - I just picked up an almost identical vehicle option wise a week ago. Mine had 31K miles though and is black Opal -- I also paid a couple of bucks less.

What kind are they? They look stock but I know little about wheels since mine are still stock.
How would they look on a silver one if you know?

Your wallet will never be the same...
.....unless you leave here at once!
Soon you will have a chip, intake, exhaust, wheels, tires, shocks, springs, sways, brakes, pulleys, pedels, door pins, lens covers... (ooops that's me ). But seriously, welcome and have fun, but beware!

I just got a flat tire. MB Roadside Assistance replaced the tire with my spare, and I was planning on buying new tires anyhow, so...
I'm looking at 18" High-Performance Tires on ADR Sterling Wheels. What tires would you recommend, and what size (exactly)? These will be my first mods on an otherwise stock car. Thanks!
