New to the site
Just wanted to introduce myself. A buddy of mine has used this site a few times for information when it came to changing brakes and such on his C Class. Coming to find myself to do the same. Own a 2006 CLS500 lowered on IWC 19" wheels, nothing special.
Here are some pictures

I usually raise the suspension when in area's that have "objects" in the road 
Wheels don't rub as I had a friend roll the fenders. I actually put 22mm spacers in the rear and 14mm in the front to push them out more. Thank you! A friend had it lowered at a shop he usually goes to that modifies Mercedes Benz's. If I remember correctly he adjusted the sensors

For real? So all you need to do is adjust the air suspension? I love the slammed look and the rims actually go well with your whip!!
I'm thinking about getting 20" but the roads where I live are horrible so still havent decided which route to take because I have to replace one of my warped rim....

Thanks for the compliment, I like the look would love to have 3 piece wheels on the car but I drive every day and put a lot of miles on my cars. So I need the durability as well and well the OEM wheels give that and make me comfortable when it comes to driving.

The picture may be decieving but there is not an un-even gap around the wheel. I'm not exactly sure what your obsession is with the gap in my wheel wells but its very interesting to say the least
As far as your comment regarding whether or not your Mexican I would say is uncalled for and rude in fact pretty idiotic. If you're wondering if that was a direct comment to call you an idiot, I would say yes it was. I would like to see you say that to someones face, even mine considering I'm not of Hispanic descent.
