New Shoes
Finally made a decision on new wheels.
Roderick RW-2 19x8.5 19x9.5.
I am very pleased with the look... May want do drop a little more, but good for now, no rubbing even with 275 meat on the rears and a 5 mm spacer... Nice and flush.

Just AMG springs right now. I think I am going to do Pro Kit as I prefer the raked look. H&R is just a little too low for my taste and the roads here in the city. I have had lowered cars in the past and have run into issues with the valets chipping up the front end. You can hardly go out in Atlanta without having to Valet
This was my previous car that was modded to the hilt...But I found it to be too low to be a daily driver

I think for the price I would have rather stuck with the Euro63RS wheels. Only reason I don't like the Rodericks is because I don't like the kink in the spoke to make the lip seem bigger. I'd rather a flatter deeper face.

Euro 63 was my 1st choice... for the same reason, but after seeing so may cars in Atlanta with them I decided to go this route. The kink in the spoke grew on me, it looks like the wheel on the the new SL (Avant Guard) I really like the black windows and the quality of the finish seemed to be a little better than the Euro 63.

They look great pal, the black MB center caps finish that wheel off very well.
