20's Anyone?
Check out what some brave soul decided to do. A 300E on 20" rims.

Shhh I would do it but just for the PIMP factor
. When i get some money I will go with 19" rims in a custom offset with a 2.5" chrome lip in the back with a streched out tire. I love that look also my stang is getting cutoms 2 piece wheels too!
Look nice but too many problems in the front!
OMG What if i do 20" in the back and 18" in the front
? Hot Rod Style!! Well i am a hot rodder
and is common to do this on hot rods and muscle cars.

Here are my thoughts to bigger wheels.... since white walls aren't the classy modern thing to do anymore. I think that Getting bigger wheels like 20's are the the modern style of wheels to accomadate for while walls. It makes the car look broader. Does anyone agree and how can you completely disagree?

Well like i said in my other post i will have 20" rims in the back and 18" in the front of my stang but the back will be tubbed so the wheels tuck under the fender and is even with the body lines I will also have air shocks. I like the look in the back but the fronts HELL NO!! That ride i bet feels like SHHHYT!
Anyways i know how you feel makahveli in these forums because some people are just too scared to mod their benzes. I even did louis vuitton on my roof of the benz but after a while i took the shhhyt of because it depends where you at. In the ghetto a louis vuitton interior is like DAMN THAT'S THE SHHISNIT!! and in the burbs it's like EWWW!!

Now thats a very valid point you made. See, everyone likes to keep their benz stock. I hate stock, so I went ahead and modded mine. I'll tell you one thing, at first I was given every reason in the book not to, but I still did it. The end product turned out fine to me. I only needed to lower it and colormatch the wheels. The look I go for is the one where it can fit in the ghetto, and in the suburbs. It has to be tastefully done, so you can still be able to drive up to a nice restaraunt in it, and not even be stereotyped. When I drive my Monte Carlo, people can not say "Definitely a (racial slur here) car"

Yeah you never know he could have another car at home that he pampers and it could be a newer bigger benz. Project cars aren't for what somebody else wants, but the owner.

Yeah, but just think... he'll save a ton of money on tires since all he has to do is paint some rubber on his rims with a paint brush ever week or so.
He broke the cardinal rule of "your rims should never cost more than your car"
