Nice looking W211

Vectra,

I agree, the rims are too wide for the tires. Then again, I think the car would have fender clearance problems with the correct width tires for those wheels. There is too much negative offset I think.


That car would look great with a performance suspension package lowering it a little. I really like the BBS LM wheels.

Yes it looks like the W211 will come with the new Panoramic roof tops.

Only if you raise the car a little bit becasue it would be rubbing a lot if you lowered it.

Those are the Inden Design BBS LMs. Normal LMs won't fit like that. Inden, MAE, and Schmidt all like the wheels like that..super wide, stretched tires, and super low offset.

The wheel/tire combo sticks out a little too far? Is the offset correct? That tire is going to rub.

The panaramic roof is an option - not standard.

Perfect example of how a person can destroy the looks of an awesome car. THe car's not a damn lowrider!! I guess everyone has different tastes.
