I thought this thread was a great idea.
I just knew it would end up with one picture, then loads of questions and opinions, ride heights, price, suppliers..........................
For it to work there should just be pictures with a note of the wheels and size and perhaps tyres. PM posters for more info.
It would be great to have a thread with just pictures of aftermarket wheels.

Thanks. They're 19x8.5F and 19x9.5R, ET38 all around. They're replicas 
I don't know what the shop used to lower, they said it was a stock piece that they used, a longer arm for the sensor. They didn't let me watch while lowering.

Jus a thought...but to even better the looks I would tell you to invest in some impact stripes for the car. I think it will clean out that amber on the gorgeous color of you car. Jus my 2 cents...Other then that you're car is definitely sick!~!

Yep, I will have to get some Euro Impact Strips to get rid of the amber marker...
Here's a close-up pic. The rear lip is larger in person. I was quite happy when I saw how deep it was for replica wheels.
These wheels didn't cost me much since I got the wheels and tires at wholesale cost (friend owns a shop). I'll just say that I got them for under $2,000 mounted, wheels and tires! I'd rather bend these (if it happens) than $1,000 to $1,500 a piece Brabus' or HREs.

So there's the solution to converting someone into a benz fan, give them a ride in a 55.

Your brother and I used to crack a lot of jokes and stuff in class, funny guy, smart too, I dunno if he'll remember me now though its been a while since we had a class together.
Anyway, just wanted to say you have a nice *** car, just don't drive past me too many times, I find myself losing attention of the road and staring at your car, and I almost crashed twice because of it, hehe.
