2MERKS Compared to? The 20s I bought after these and I already sold the ride is lots better. Those rims weren't staggered but biggest prob was the tires or lack of. They looked like there was no tire on them. They were 30 series but they were stretched which made for lower profile. Horrible. But compared to stock rims not as good as stocks.

Size...8.5 front 10s rear? I was thinking most run with 8.5 /9.5...

Yeah I was tripping on getting them cause my prior 20s were 8.5/ 9.5 but after a while I ended up liking the 10s better I swear I saw somewhere some one was running 10.5s. These are all the rims I've been through in last year. It's all same car just did bumper update. All are 20s except 2nd set were 18s.

#4 reminds me of the KMC Bofa, and they were sweet! #1 Are sweet too, but you hit a homerun on #3 the current set for me! Lol
My newest addition to the "Fam" - 2006 E350 4Matic. The previous owner almost gave it to me and it's in excellent condition...let's just hope I don't need to replace the balance shaft...lolooloo! I am lucky it doesn't have the goddam Airmatic. I'm glad I converted my CL500...at least this one will never need it I'll be posting here with my random questions soon :P
To Dos:
1 - Window tint - Florida sun is a beast
2 - cam position sensors
3 - new wheels and tires FFS
4 - Oil service...duh
5 - PZEV fuel tank warranty (MB is replacing it under warranty)
6 - SBC module (25 years, 10 years remaining on it)
7 - control arms (if it needs them)
8 - new radiator (preventative measure)
9 - Likely a new balance shaft
(now I am off to hand up alms to the Mercedes Gods in the sky to keep the balance shaft safe)

I had the balance shaft CEL come on at 140k- then drove it another 10k without fixing it. Don't loose sleep over it.
ot the summer wheels (SL55 stocks) are back on and gave it a polish and wax, although it's already dirty again from the rain earlier in the week. Polished with Chemical Guys VSS, sealed with CG Jet Seal, and topped with CG Butter Wet Wax. The butter wet wax looks amazing but it's pure carnauba so it doesn't last very long. Jet Seal is supposed to last a lot longer, so it makes for a good base coat to ensure that there's some protection on the car if I don't have a chance to wax it regularly.
I am a huge fan of estate versions of all makes and models. From w210 to w213, the w211 estate this is without a doubt one of the ugliest estates you can own. Compare it to e39/e60 5 series of the same generation and it's doubly obvious. So I wouldn't be going around calling other cars ugly.

You're entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong it is. The E39 and E60 are useless as wagons and FUGLY. More like glorified hatchbacks. You can't even get a 3rd row in those **** heaps.
Yeah cause the w211 wagon is so great with it's sharp and focused looking front end and the rear looking like a pregnant woman in her 42nd week of pregnancy. While I can knowledge the looks are subjective, at least the e39 and e60 wagons could actually handle well around a track.
My E550. I always had a thing for this body style, more specifically the AMGs and this refresh trim. I picked her up from a private party about 1 year ago.
It is what i expected and more, not disappointed.
Deceptively quick, gets a lot of compliments, looks MUCH newer than it is, and is a super comfortable cruiser.
Just picked up a 2008 with 73K miles from the proverbial little old lady. new michelins, and not one crack in the wood.. she never drove in inclement weather so underside is super clean. was kept indoors so overall decent condition... totally stock for now except for a Bluetooth connection. so far I like a lot!
