they're 19's 8.5 fronts 9.5 rears..brabus mono vi's reps..since its my daily driver I didn't want to spend too much on the wheels since the 405 freeway in CA sucks...I had my mercedes tech lower my car he altered some stuff but kept everything stock to keep the ride stock...and as for the tint I like the stock blue that's on it...plus what's the point of purchasing a car if people can't see who's drivin it?

Local Shop?

Did you purchase the wheels at a local shop or online? What size tires are you running? Why did u go 19's instead or 18's? I'm leaning towards 18's cause roads in san francisco are horrible. Did you get the tech at a MBZ dealer to lower car for you?

my tech used to work for benz and now has his own shop..I run 19's because they look better..ride quality is still great..and our roads in LA are pretty bad too. but I think 19's are perfect and you won't have to lower it much..looks good to me at least..I have a local shop that I got them from tires are 245 front and rears are 265. let me know if you want a set and how much you want to spend and ill try to work out a deal..thanks

Car looks Great! Love the drop, love the black grill. Not too fond of replica's though.

I would also tint the windows a little. since you have all black it would made the car look even better.

well I told him that I wanted to get rid of the gap and he said he changed the thickness of spring pads and did something else to the springs..since I'm not familiar with doing any mods myself I couldn't tell ypu exactly what he did. but everything is still stock but is dropped to get rid of that unsightly gap.

What did he charge you for the drop? Does your car have the air suspension?

Where is he located? Phone#?

since he's a good friend of the family I got a great price, $200. I'd have to contact him for you first. His shop is in Hawthorne.
