I said 18's not 20's, they cost arount $350-$400 per wheel. I want to do it for an appearance style, I mean the rims that you speak and desire of doesn't increase performance of any so why spend so much money on a rim that is just as good as any other. I don't see the big deal of trying to have your rims in looks of a Movado watch. Yeah spinners are cool on suvs cause SUVs are also the fad (oversized stationwagons)

at 350-400 you can go bbs. i think the main reason for spending big cash on rims would be safety. f the concept of spending big coin for looks. the amg wheels can take a hellova beating as my rims proved and they are kinda pricey.

Here are pics of my old 94 E320. Got the wheels from bekkers.com 18x8 all around. 225/40/18 all around, and yes, rolled fenders. BEfore I had the fenders rolled it was rubbing like a mother!!!

Painted my calipers red. Shows though enough. (I polished the lip myself btw on the wheels. Stripped the clearcoat and made it bling)

I need to know after rolling fenders how deep of a drop can I go with 18's? I am considering the intrax spring system, as I assume it has the lower drop and least expensive

my new wheelz look *****en. i wish i could post pics but i cant figure out how to move pics from my treo 650 to its 1gb sd ram card.

anyhow i had to grind down 10 lugs today. they were 7mm too long. i called brabus in newport and they had a full set but were $60 and in newport. i was in placentia at jonny lightning. that is why i choose to grind them. i might order the lugs and then anodize them black to match the new wheelz.

what happened to your digital camera Eric? Can't wait to see how those wheels look on your car. Time to change up your signature picture again.
