Wheels look great. What are they? How is the ride? I put 18s on the wifes car and it didn't change much from the factory 16s.

You definately need to lower it now. I am contemplating the same this, she is just not very careful pulling up to parking stops. Plus it is safe for the valet parking guys. I wont drive mine anywhere I can't park myself, or know that it will be parked carefully.

No kidding. Most people think they are too important to self park and would rather turn their keys over to some high school drop out with acne and an attitude.

MPX220's car is a perfect example of how 20's are supposed to look on a W211. You're definitely looking like a 4X4 next to his.

Drop it like it's haaaaaaawt!

Hey man i got the same problem too!!!! I slapped on some Lowenhart 20's and my ride looks a little too high. What brands do you recommend for lowering my E 550? Also when i return my car after the lease is over will MB charge me for lowering my car?

yeah more than likely they will charge you cuz you really dont own the car. MB still does and your not suppose to make any modifications at all to the vehicle to include puttin rims. so wen u take it to get service i recommend to remove the rims and put the originals on.
