Here's my Black Opal beauty
I don't think anybody had to go through the hassle I did to get the C Class's 17" style IV wheels on my E. I settled for the 7.5" but they had to bore out the lug holes from 12mm to 14mm. What a drag!

In the shade...

Yeah... they stuck me with the 7.5s. I fought just a little. The 245s tuck pretty tight, but it looks ok. I had to wait an extra week 'cos they said the lug holes needed to be bored out 2mm... does this sound right to you?

Yup, you car uses 14mm bolts and the C uses 12mm. They are giving you the wheels for the C, thats why.

Need one Change
The car looks great with the exception of one HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CHANGE, REMOVE THE "USC ALUMNI" license frame. hehehe Of course I had to say that because I'm a Bruin and I have a UCLA Alumni license frame on my car. It's all good.

I don't club baby seals unless they are wearing a USC t-shirt. :p Actually I have no problem with USC alumni, in fact, most of my file clerks graduated from USC. Ok, cheap shot, I'll stop. Great ride!!

Because they're the 17" wheels from the C32 rather than the 18" from the E55
