Hey they look nice from the pictures, how does the rear offset look in person, looks nice against the silver, we have the same color, have you noticed the rear lip is "relatively smallish" a bill measures just a tick over 2.5 inches? I cant wait to see them all on...good luck.

Looks nice bro! What are you running 19x?? F&R? I see you have a $100 bucks can i borrow? :p

JAYCL600

I think 19x8's up front...

Brav

Didnt fit.. had back problems from slouching. Tranny blew, almost 2 mos to get it fixed CORRECTLY.. lots of creeks and rattles, which drive me nuts.

Brav

Ofset is verry wide, which I like. If you are standing behind the car, you can see the shine from the outer lip of the wheel protruding from the tire, just barely. Actually looks very clean with stock setup, although I will lower it an inch or so. Rear lip is not small by all means, about 3.25, 3.5" I'd say. That lip pic isnt good, lighting is off.

19x8 front, 19x10 rear Sure, you can borrow, but I'll juice it.

Well.. you have a lot of overhang, so it cancels it out

JAYCL600

what size tire did you get in the rear 275's?

Brav

yep. 275/30. At first look, I was gonna say I should have gotten 285s, but they would definately rub. 275s give you extra clearance to have the wider ofset. Its a different look but I really like it.

Update - I will be getting the car lowered tomorrow as well as refitment of the front wheels. This will be by neither the "washer" method nor with a tuner module. They are switching out some suspension links which are supposedly made by MB. They can adjust it to any height I want, and cost is a lot lower. Also, will be able to still lower the car and raise the car thru airmatic, and from what I'm told, maintain ride quality, as some modules have much harsher dampening. Will post more pics/details tomorrow.

damn.. I have to see your car in person when you finish putting the wheels on and lowering it... I'm in Irvine too so we can meet up or something =P
but damn sick wheels! love them

Brav

no prob. will be done tomorow, and i have half the day off as its a bank holiday, no mortgages funding..

JAYCL600

We seem to share the same line of work as well as wheels....good luck tomorrow can wait for pics.

Hey Brav-

I've got some questions about the mods you've done to your car maybe you could give some recommendations on local shops you trust with your ride.

I live in RSM you think I could get a look at your car in person? I am planing on picking up an '05 E-Class in the next couple of months and plan to drive it straight into the shop to get some mods done.

By the way I'm in the bussines too.I was at Argent for 2 years, New Century for 1 year and am now at a small Mom and Pop shop out of Temecula much better than the big companies at least so far.

email me, let me know..

Judging from what I see....I must say that is gonna look freakin hot!~! We should all meet up again sometime

Brav

Haha, well I have 3 people that want to meet up and see the car today, maybe we should make a semi-formal meet out of it? I will probably be done with the car around 2 or 3 this afternoon.

bluerascal

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm free whenever. Pick a spot like The Spectrum or something and a time everyone can make it? Just let me know either post here or send me an e-mail.

Later,
Johnny

Brav

Maybe tustin market place off jamboree, less crowded. I'm still at the shop in chino hills, will be done in an hour or so. so 4pm or 5pm, but by then will be dark. I live right there off jamboree, so anyone is welcome to come see if there is no formal meet. whoever is interested, please post and ill try to make it back by 4.

suhochunsah

I'm in

JamE55

I'm in too...but only to borrow the $100 bucks..lol :p

Brav,

Can't wait to see pics after the rims and lowering kits are slapped on. Are you getting the TWS lowering brackets? Could also you post more details about how much of a drop they are from stock, pricing, and where you're getting them installed? I'm using the washer method, which gives me a 2 finger gap. I want to go 1 finger all the way around. So far, your rims are nicely dialed in! Congrats!
