( i have no idea what rolling the fenders is) I need the biggest set of skins possable because the roads in my city arent the best in some areas, my area unfortunatly and i dont wanna mess up my rims. Right now i have 17'' AMG mono block replicas which are getting pollished before spring time. But those rims are tiny and i wanna roll something big like 19's i drive my car alot and need durable rims and good rubber on them to keep me safe. Ill check out that website right now and ill get back to ya about that, again i cant say it enough, thank you for all ur help ive never received so much information and helpful tips on this forum yet. later man

yup 19" will fit no problemo...hmmm tire i might suggest 225/35 in the front and the rear i believe you can put 245/30 (It pretty thin) but can make you avoid all the rub when you go full of people in the car, don't worry about the road condition coz here in Jakarta some of the road are bad as hell especially around my area but people just keep modify the car...well if you lowered it i believe you need to roll the fender but it will not hurt the fender compared to cut the fender...rolling the fender is to roll down the end of the fender(from the inside) with some special tools, if you touch the fender at the tip, you can feel that there is part taht stick out of the fender..that part need to be rolled...i believe that most bodyshop know how to do it..well if you want to have another set of AMG wheels i might suggest you used AMG CL the 5 spoke wheels...or the carlsson 1/5 or 2/5 as long as their 19"...the replica of AMG CL ran around USD 1800 with tires in here...if you want to have 20" i can suggest you the replica of carlsson 2/5 but in 20" they cost around 2500 with tires...hey btw can i have your e-mail add ??

When u roll the fenders do u only need to roll the front ones? ill ask around town about rollin those. does it change its appearence? ill prob get 18 inch rims cause 35 series rubber ive been told it so small. Like if u hit a pot hole wont u bend ur rims? id love to get 19 inch or even 20 inch rims but im not cuttin anything so no 20's i guess is out. I really like the AMG CL 5 spoke rims alot and 1800 with tires is great. do they come in chrome? i only want chrome wheeles for now. But i plan on having s few sets of rims one day but for now all chrome. also my 17's are 17x7.5 . if i get 19x 8.5 or 9.5 does that mean it will stick out ? or will it still be as wide as the body when i lower the car? Would getting 20'' rims in the back and 19's be a good idea? or is that just stupid? my e-mail address is top_dogg8@hotmail.com. thanks man

haha i knew what it was i just wasnt 100% sure. haha and im not sure if i have those i dont think so. ill have to check on that haha
They make a Wald V4 body kit for the W124 its on the web site just no prices. And paint is no problem my boss's friend is a certified painter. Lucky me . Id be willing to pay the big bucks for the fabolous kit, but they dont have a W124 version do they? Cause that website didnt have them.
