New Brabus Wheels

Got my Brabus wheels on the other day. They looks awesome. Took some quick shots today, will take better ones later. Need to lower the car now.
19"x10" rear and 19"x8.5" front. Running Bridgestone S03's..

Brabus...

FIrst off -

I really like the wheels! I have the same color e500 that i'm thinknig of putting 19x8.5 on all 4 corners (replica's though). Did you lower the car or is that stock hieght? can you post/ email a side view shot?

Also - how badly did this affect your ride quality???
Are those exhaust tips from schatz???

sorry for all the questions!

Brabus

Ride quality didn't change very much. Bridgestone S03's are a great tire. It was lowered about 3/4". I will go 1/2" more in the rear and 3/4" in the front. Exhaust is the stock with the AMG package. I may change out to Brabus.
I have the stock 18" AMG wheels and tires for sale if anyone is interested.

Hey Yahooe, sweet looking ride. You said that you're thinking about changing out the exhaust to the Brabus. Will you consider selling the exhaust tips that came with your AMG package? I'll email you again. thanks

S03's are greate at friction, but quite noise.
