The car as it sits now is attached with stock rims. The rims I purchased and then modified are the niche m139 but I didnt like the way it looked though others loved it, maybe car needs to be lowered. Should I go back with the original color of the niche m139 rims or try a different setup all together. .. Was thinking of the niche targa..I liked the slight machine finish coated Grey color

What do you think would work
Thanks

Sorry but no. 3 is bad. I would go with 5, 6, & 7. Much better looking.

And bad as in I don't like. Just my opinion.

Those targas look nasty. Nasty being good.

I'd go back to the original finish m139 or switch to the targas.

dmighty

thanks for your feedback. what you think is wrong with 3? I dont like it myself. feel with the white spokes, white is also needed on the lip...

thank you.. Leaning towards atleast seeing what the original finish looks like before buying new rims.


Anyone else please. Appreciate all the feedback.

The black rim makes the wheels look weird. Make it look like the spokes are floating and the wheels look small. Just not my cup of tea. What size are the wheels?

I just put on some Milans myself (yesterday, lol) and my car isn't lowered yet. The silver machine finish on then Milans are great.

dmighty

they are 19s and i agree with the assessment. PIC of your ride?

iErickS

20s.

What type of wheels are the ones pictured in 5,6, and 7?. to me, they look nice..they sort of look like the HRE P101's. I would sport those for mine.

Any 19s or bigger and I think one would have to consider lowering the car right ?

The white 5 stars just look like the rims are separate from the car. They don't seem to flow with the rest of the car. The white lip might help but it just like you put some cheap dull Chinese throwing stars under your car. There is just to much white (the car), then the wheels blend in, and then these bright white stars.
Now No.6 and the fronts in No.4 look pretty damn good! I like the MB center caps too!

Those are the Niche Targa M130 Sport Series Black with machine face and double dart tint

dmighty

Thanks for your feedback. I think you are spot on.
What do you think of just removing the white from the rims and going with the natural color. I think it was attachment 2

dmighty

Is that lowered?

cdigiovanni

vossen cv3, clean look, or the niche without the black insides

GerryMac

Definitely the Targa, those wheels look great. The two tone Black/Dark Tint Targa and the Candy Black Ritz wheels from the Niche website are my favourite Niche wheels and would both look great on your white E350.

iErickS

nope. I will end up lowering it with the H&R set up. I dont want to slam it but just to drop it an inch or so

dmighty

Im debating if i want to lower mines as well. I dont want a harsh ride as on my 300c i lowered with 22" and it was HARSH but love to drive that Hemi. I have a quote to lower with H&R for $550 (parts and labor)

Most state it wont be that much of a change from stock feel with 19s

iErickS

550? that's not bad at all. where are you located?

dmighty

im in orlando, fl... parts are $250 and labor $300

That's a good price, go for it. That ride quality is not bad at all. I understand that lowering a car isn't for everybody but a set of 19 or 20 in aftermarket wheels just doesn't look right when there's a huge 3 in gap by the wheel well.Check out the Vossen car (lowered) and iErickS (will be lowered ) that should help.

bigigg

go with the black targas

dmighty

Thanks for everyone feedback
I'm going to go with the black targa ands sell the other set. Still on the fence about lowering. Is an 1" drop worth $550
