Good decision!

Those black stocks would've looked like hubcaps. To have nice looking black rims, you need rims with a lip.

Save up and get a set of 18 AMG, or whatever and paint them black. That would look sick!

why would you do that...... the w124 e class is a far (IMO) better car than the w210...... only way i would personally consider that trade is if the w210 was the e55.....

anyways.. good luck
