Finally...shots of my E350...
well, since having the car just for a short amount of time, I've been doing some mods "slowly but surely"....having the sport package helps so I don't have to worry about lowering the car....tinted windows
trunk spoiler
K&N filters
ECU re-map
20" wheels/tires (20x8.5 f, 20x10 r)
...up coming mods: smoke the front bumper lenses (still can't find clear ones) as well as back tailights
I'm really happy with the wheels....I only ended up paying $2200 for the entire set of wheels/tires/install....couldn't pass it up....
I recently posted a 4sale for my stocks, but may just keep them for an extra set...I plan on keeping the new wheels/tires in great condition, so driving on the stocks from time to time will help....
glad to be in the "E" club...

I love the new style they gave to the E-classes. Very subtle mods, but its the little things that make it so awesome.

...hey thanks guys for the input...I agree, the pix don't give the wheels justice--
Maybe it's the 'OLD' digital camera and my lack of photography skills that I need to upgrade
.....
I'll take some better pix once I have more mods done--and a updated camera...LOL!!
....on another note, I was really hesitating on getting 20"s--I had 19"s on my CLK and the ride was good....for overall fit and ride, the 20"s are still a comfortable ride....

believe it or not, but the wheels are 1 pc (nice lip on front and back)...
...I'm running 245/35/20 f (20x8.5), 275/30/20 r (20x10)...don't remember the offset, but will double check this week with my installer
there are no rubbing issues and with the sport package, I didn't have to worry about lowering the car...
where are you located??

as far as the 'level' (I don't remember the %'s, but went with dark x 2 back, medium--rear windows, and light--front windows)
send a PM to me and I can get you in touch with my guys...otherwise, if you don't want to drive up my way, you can always check out Tint Connection in Costa Mesa (they are located on Newport Blvd--by the Fairgrounds) I used to take my other cars there and they do great work...

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check them out. I'll PM you if I decide to come up by LBC for tinting.
I got it done at my buddy's stereo/tint shop (here in Long Beach)...I paid $220 for: 2 front windows, 2 rear windows, and double layer of darl for the back window (my infant son sits 'rear facing' so it's mainly for his protection)
