I want to put on 18" TSW Bremmas on my car, however I do not want to lower the car for both financial, warrenty, and ride comfort reasons.
Will the car look ugly if i put 18's without lowering it?

Does anybody have a picture of their car with 18's not lowered.

Also, how would 19's look without being lowered, any input would be great.

-Lawrence

Also, does lowering of the car void its warrenty?

19s will look better than 18s anyday of the week, lowered or not.

18"s
These are 18 "05 SLK 5.5 amg . The ride didn't change much. I'm in the process of lowering the car 1"as we write. Using Kleemann springs

i have the tsw bremmas in 19 inch. honestly i wouldnt go 18s....if u go aftermarket you might as well go 19s. I have noticed a slight difference in ride quality but not as drastic as i thought it would be. i plan on lowering my car, just gotten to it yet. Here is what bremmas in 19 would look without lowering like u asked.

Here's a pic of my clk on 18" amg's (sorry about the quality) I don't want the ride any harsher that's why I haven't lowered it.

If you put the wheels on, you might as well lower it. Doesn’t look right in my opinion, I’m not a big fan of TSW wheels neither. I would rather have my Stock AMG 17's.

Its gonna look weird not lowered.... If you purchase 18's or 19's sooner or later the gaps will get to you and you will lower it...

I thought the car would look much worse unlowered, hmm I might go for the 19's in this case...
