Talking One Sexy E350!!

"....The owner of this beauty wanted to stand out from others......."


Specs: This E Class looks outstanding with our VVSCV2 wheels that are 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear. The owner also put his own touch by matching the finish of the wheels with his car.

how much was this car lowered? I love the stance, but never been crazy about that style of wheel, for some reason it always reminds me of the BBS mesh that came on the old Firebirds

Wheels look great.

Looks like a drop similar to the H&Rs. My car is riding about that low atm.

How badly is ride quality affected from stock?

I understand that. I went from 17s to 19s on my bmw but also added coilovers and I feel it rides rougher but nothing jarring.

I was more curious if there was a sizable feel in the degradation of the ride.

Car looks sick. Not sure why people ***** about the ride harshness. You have to a slight loss in ride quality, otherwise why even go to bigger rims..

Are you saying that you want the loss of ride quality?

What's the point in paying $50+K for an E-Class which is certainly not a sports car, but a comfort/Luxury Car then, if your intent is to hamper the most prevalent engineering aspect built into the price in the first place?

There is obviously a tradeoff. Am I saying I would go with 22's- NOooo..

Going from 18's to 19's enahnces the look and just makes the car handle better.

I prefer a mix of luxo-sport with going with 19's

BTW- Your car is almost identical to mine.

Yeah I see what you mean. I personally wouldn't like to sacrifice the comfort level even a bit, as I find that the Sport suspension itself makes things "rough" enough for an E-Class. If I had to get new wheels though, and I could muster up the courage and was certain that 19's would ride just as good as 18's (can't see how that's possible, but the difference may be so minor that you wouldn't really notice), then 19's are my sweet spot as well. Wouldn't go over that personally on this car though.

You've got good taste! Let's see some pics.

with a harsh ride, the bits and pieces of trim will also knock against each other more strongly and rattles will develop earlier over time

And this is true, and something that people who stiffen their cars up always seem to forget. I've had lowered cars with bigger wheels, and they end up being rattle traps after a while. Same went for an E60 545i that was Dinan tuned that belonged to a guy I knew. It sounded like a broken down POS when you rode in it, 'cause everything was rattling/squeaking/creaking apart with the combination of stiff suspension, big wheels, and vibrating exhaust.
