What do you guys think?

I was thinking that my car needs some new rims after I lower my car (which will be done within these next two weeks). Which ones do you guys like more?

1. ///AMG Rims


2. Brabus Rims

1990 300ce
Brabus. Much cleaner-looking wheel. Although my concern is that they might be a little to "dinky" looking for a heavy w124. Nice PS work btw.

amg

to me, the w124 is a older styled chasis and when choosing wheels or body mods, you have to keep that in mind. the brabus wheels may look better on a c-class or a more rounded off car like hondas and whatnot.. but on a boxy car such as the w124 simple 5 spoke wheels or dish faced wheels will do the job right.

I say Brabus because those AMGs look like they belong on a C-class

1. I have kids + bunch of stuff associated with kids = alot of cargo
2. I have a WIFE
3. I live in Boston, therefore having a bigger rim/smaller tire combo is something I SERIOUSLY have to consider...

that's how my friend...but honestly reason # 2 is my sore thumb

LOL nice, i knew I smelled refried pork grinds

ah, and a wonderful new toy it is! You know I've been looking at your car and the damage doesnt look that bad...you can easily just chill with it as is (well until you get your fender/light/grille) just try adjusting the headlight, at leas it'll look a little smashed and not the way the front looks now! LOL no offense!
