As promised, here are some pics of the wheels I just purchased and I need some opinions on lowering. I received the shorter lug bolts yesterday because the stock ones were too long. I only mounted one side because it started snowing and I didn't want to deal with that right. I would like to keep the stock shocks for the moment and I heard that Eibachs work with the stock shocks, correct me if I'm wrong. I feel that it needs lowering, real bad. Feel free to comment. Wheel size 19X8.5 front and 19.9.5 rear. Tires are 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear.

Sharp looking wheels.

I like those wheels more and more every time I see them. The car looks great and will look even better once you lower it. Eibach or H&R will work with the stock shocks.

So, are those the C class reps? I remember the big discussion on one thread about two wheels that looks very similar. These wheels have the thinner inner groove, the others are wider, can't remember which is which. I think BadDebt has the other style.

Ive had the eibachs on stock shocks going on 2 weeks now (I know it's not long) but the ride isn't harsh at all. There are some pics of the drop on the thread I started also.

Thanks for all your replies. As for which style they are, I really can't say. Picked them up from USARIMS, model #615. After I lower it I'll post some more pics. Thanks again for all your help.

I bought my wheels from them too. They also go by Eurotech Wheels.

These are not C63 reps, they're more like E63/CLK63 reps. I have the OEM E63 rims and they look the same as the OP's, but mine are 18".

!Very nice!

I have the same wheels, Eibach spring and Bilstein struts/shocks. Eibach springs and factory struts/shocks is not ecceptable for me. Under normal driving, it felt ok but once you hit a pothole, the car felt very bouncing. This behave is not good at high speed doing top speed. For me, it a no no !!! So I changed out the factory stuts/shocks within weeks. You can see how lowered my car with the setup, go to my "galleries" pics.

Those wheels look sexy in that pic.

EuroTra$H

is that the drop on eibach? looks perfect?

Newjd2

Yeah klinh is dropped on eibachs...his photos helped make my final decision for eibachs, instead of the saggy rear of h&r's...remember though he has a heavier rear because of his convertible top, but you could always go down to spring pad #1...

dynomite05

Ahhhh, that's why it looks perfect. I didn't even realize.

Newjd2

That's what worries me because klinh's drop is as perfect it can get for springs unless you go coilover like you...I just hope the convertible top didn't effect it that much and the spring pad #1 could compensate for this...

Guess will see after my tires come in...haha...

And man we're talking klinh up big time...lol...

dynomite05

Haha, I'm sure he's used to it. I wonder how much weight difference the vert actually has.

M-bENZ

lol @ he's used to it.

500 coupe and cab weight...

I hope those 350 pounds don't make that much of a difference...lol...

dynomite05

It does when the all the weight is in the rear.
