Very nice. Any plans to lower the W212 to compliment your wheels?

Yup, deciding what spring is best. Hopefully, get rid of the gaps

Yeah it will look really good once you get rid of the gaps. Coilovers are the way to go if you don't have airmatic suspension.

Those are sick. Center caps really set them off.

Very Nice A Set of H&R or Vogtland Springs would definitely get rid of the gaps.

Did you need an alignment after you installed your springs?

You should always do an alignment after any suspension work

I didn't do one but eNNcity is right you should get an alignment
when you change wheels/suspension.

Offset would be a number like 40 or 45, and listed on the wheel (or order) as 45BT

.....and yes an alignment is needed, but would wait a month for springs to settle unless youre going to do a lot of driving, then asap..
