Yes I once saw an E class slam into a couple of old bags at the supermarket. No damages luckily. I don't think the driver hit anything after market. On a more serious note.....What is this "slamming" you guys are referring to? I hope it has nothing to do with using your w211's in a demolition derby.

Hey bud, thanks for the welcome.
Is that your e class there ? Nice ... Dad had one and it was real smooth for a 97.
How big are those mags ? they look like 19s.

previous wheels look better imho. new wheels look like they will better suit a jdm car but thats just me. Maybe different when you get them on

btw anyone know how 20x10 with 35 offset would sit in the front of a w211 ? looks like rim will be just on the edge but i figured with the right rubber and height it might not touch ? :P

Thanks for the response. Is there a performance enhancement from doing this or is it cosmetic?

I do like my current wheels, but wanted a change in look. We'll see how things come out...
Or, since you like my old rims...they will be for sale once the new ones are on

Yeah, but that's just because it's kinda the same machined face look, personally I like the spoke design because no matter how they roll they will look semetrical compared to a 5 star design where say the front wheel could be pointed at 12:00 and the rear could be pointed at 6:00 or 10:00 and 2:00 etc, etc...just my OCD. Either set up is ![bow](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif)

There IS a performance enhancement when you lower your car, up to a certain point. Once you go past that, it's just for looks. People who slam their car basically lose that performance enhancement because you lose the suspension travel. Lowering a car on airmatic probably has minimal performance gains anyway....

prob less haha, i bought the 19" brabus reps for around 350 usd with tyres. albeit not 100% straight and with chips here and there and some cheap chinese rubber, cant beat that for value. tyres need to change soon though. Should tie me in till i get something decent.
