New to MB 87 300td

Hi! I recently got a great deal from my mom's bf(he owns a small german car shop) 87 mercedes benz 300 turbo diesel 6 cylinder. Paid $500 bucks! Runs like a champ. I've been looking online for a little less boring rims and possible a slight lowering spring and was wondering if you guys had any good sites for that stuff? And here are a few pics! It needs detailed but is in great shape.

I believe it was from 90 on. With the reintroduction of the diesel in 2.5 turbo form.

Same interior as my 260E. Nice

How many miles on the car? If you plan to drop the car, inspect the struts for wear. Any idea if the struts have been changed anytime soon? If they are original or have over 80k on em, they are probably getting close to the end of their lives and if you drop the car you will have to replace them.

Thanks! It has 295k and change. The struts were replaced fairly recently, my mom's bf has been the mechanic for this car for around a decade and he gave me the rundown on it and its all pretty fresh.
