Cool wheels. What size are the tires? Looks like you could have went a bit wider there, but still nice.

Nice setup! Looks great! Are you running on just Brabus springs and number 1 spring pads? I really like your drop. And like cracker said, is your climate control blue???

To me those rims looks really big... like 20's..... The car looks raised... The custom door pin is a nice touch..... and why is your climate control blue? Nice car none the less...

What size tires do you have? your rims & tires matches perfectly to the fenders. Do you use spacers?

Geez, I come back and all these posts. Thanks a lot guys, appreciate your support. I think the car looks raised cuz of the weird angle I took the rear picture at but maybe you guys just like it really slammed. I think it is just right, about a half finger spacing rear and a finger in the front. Check out the side profile. My tires are 255/35 and 225/35. I guess I could have gone wider but I was worried about rubbing so they look a little stretched, but I love the wide wheels, no more slip. The offset may look a little off but that's the price you have to pay for a big lip, no spacers. The rears are 3.5 to 4" depending if you count to where the tire meets the rim or to the edge of the rim. Not sure which way is right. But at least it doesn't rub now and all is good.

As for the blue console, haha, I took some liberty with photoshop while I was cropping the pic. Good catch. I just couldn't stand the amber lighting and wanted to see what it would look like. Much better in my opinion. I've been meaning to change out the leds for white or bluish white to match better the console, but just haven't had time.

For the kit, I just can't afford the front right now. Maybe in a few months. Carlsson ain't cheap. Although I'm toying with the idea of the dtm kit from europassion but I am afraid the installation cost is gonna be crazy.

I'll post some pictures when I get the rear installed, then it should look more balanced and maybe I'll debadge when all is said and done but for now my car still looks too stock.
