You know what would probably do the trick? Try some tire shine :B

WTG very nice job

Diesel #2

Yes the tire shine is unanimous lol, i am definitely buying some product, you have any suggestions on the brand ? beejAMG ?

beejAMG

lol

any cheap generic brand will do the trick. just make sure your tyres are dry when you spray/apply them on, and if i get the chance, i try to let it sit dry before i drive the car.

not only it helps with the looks, but it protects the rubber from drying and cracking as well.

EDIT: if youre keen on spending, i try to stick with Meguiars.

I've always liked the product named more shine less time. I buy a case and it last me 3 years or so

I just love when a plan comes together. Now it looks like an E Class.

very sexy! i love it!

prolly just the angle or the shade. seems the right rear has less fender gap than the left rear. did you see the pad thickness on the rear springs when they lowered her?

Thanks bud, i couldn't be happier. No i didn't check the pads, what is the importance of them ?

It is for sure the angle because i can't even fit 1 finger in the front or the back. Virtually no gap, i am surprised i am not rubbing. But the springs definitely dropped the car more than 1.4" in the front. I noticed it and even my tire shop guys noticed it, and i believe this is because the E 250 is over 300 lbs heavier than a E 350. Even better for me

can you provide a ride comfort opinion as compared to the OE springs and run-flats. Thanks

I like the stock 18" sport package (E550) wheels. 17 would be a bit small, and I fear that 19" would make it rough, although I've contemplated getting them many times for the nice custom looks. I had +2" (19's) with 35 and 30 profile tires on my old W208 and it was rough, but I had no baseline to compare because I never had the car with stock wheel setup on it. You will chew through the low-profile tires quickly too, the tread is not as deep as stock tires.

Diesel #2

Judging by the smile on my face, it is easy for one to tell that i do not care

Diesel #2

Ill be honest with you, the ride now with the 19s is more comfortable than with the 17s. But i am sure this is because the 19s are non run flats.

After having owned a 2007 E350 Sport with the staggered wheel, and rim sizes, I liked that until I read that tire mileage warranty's were cut in half. Personally I like a square set up where you can rotate the tires.

SEC1939

Thanks for ride feedback, I am inclined to go to 18's non run flats then put winters on the 17's. I like the lower look but not sure I'll do it.

Diesel #2

The non run flats definitely make a difference in ride comfort. But my suggestion to you would be to stick with the 17s instead of going with 18s because the look is not that much different between the two sizes. Only you would notice and maybe Konigstiger (that guy knows everything)

SEC1939

good tip, I am leaning toward Carlsson Rims. I believe they start at 18"

a100steaksauce

One of the better w212's

the color combo is nice

Diesel #2

Thanks, i was lucky to find the exact interior and exterior colors i wanted.

Looks great! Are those Rohana Wheels? How are they working out? and what size tires are you running ?
