Thanks! The setup cost $1,800. I went with 19" instead of 20s because of the road conditions in my part of the country. It's square because I have 4-matic. I have 5mm spacers on the front and 15mm on the back to give it a more aggressive look. Slight rub when I encounter a significant dip in the road so I may remove the front spacers all together and go with something smaller in the rear. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier.

Got lucky with the caps. I bought them for my factory wheels last year and they fit the new ones perfectly.

Wheels look very good, silver is great when you are running smaller wheels, it makes 19s kinda looks like 20s. Glad you didn't go with black. Very clean look overall.

What did you do to lower the car? Airmatic?

Who manufacturers those rims? I've seen them before on an E and wondered who they were made by.

H & R springs. My car does not have air-matic. The ride is a little firm, but I kinda like it that way.

Thanks everyone for the comments and complements. I looked long and hard before I pulled the trigger on the wheels and I really like the ones I choose. I think the hyper silver color goes well with the white car. When I park the car I always look back at it and admire the look.
I'm actually running out of things to do to the car. Considering an upgrade to the front grill but I'm not quite sure if it would look better or not.

you can still do quite a bit if you want. you can paint the brakes, black out the chrome, put a roof spoiler, change front grill, (carbon fiber mirrors, lip spoiler, rear spoiler, roof spoiler, side skirt extensions) black out badges, flat hood badge.
Have you done anything interior wise?

I spent a good bit of time on the brake detail. See my previous posts. The car already has a trunk spoiler. I considered the roof spoiler but I think I prefer the lines of the car without one. I've done the door pins and a few other changes to the interior. Have a new set of AMG peddles on my work bench to install this weekend. Flat hood badge was done. As I said before, I am on the fence regarding the grill change. I would change out the grill in a Second if I could find one that resembles the original but without the Mercedes badge on top. Anybody ever seen one?
