Baby got a new pair of shoes

Just put on a new set of wheels. 20" CVT's. Great working with the guys from Wheels Performance of Miami.

Personal preference. I've been putting custom wheels on my cars for the last 20 years. On this one, my dealer found this car coming off the boat (literally) and it had every option I wanted except the wheels. The 18's that were on it just didn't do the car justice (in my opinion).

Time to lower the car a bit to eliminate that wheel gap. Looking good so far. Need more pics and thanks for sharing.

Specs on wheels:

Vossen CVT Silver 20x9 (x2)

-Vossen CVT Silver 20x10 (x2)

-Continental 245/35/20 (x2)

-Continental 275/30/20 (x2)

Went with non-run flats to improve ride. I can live with carrying a small compressor and flat tire filler in the trunk (I already did anyway). Overall, no significant degradation in ride (was on stock 18's before) other than a SLIGHT increase in road noise.

Yes. And sports package. I had to do 20" in these rims to clear the front breaks.

Looks great. If you ever get bored with them, coat them in gunmetal and I think that would really compliment your paint.

Good choice going with Vossen

Do you happen to have the offsets you went with? Also, how flush are they with the fenders?

thanks!

A car
The internet is a world of opinion and one should not take opinions by strangers seriously, but personally I don't like it. I've always viewed the E class as an elegant car, and I don't think the wheels jive with the shape of the body, but that's just me. As long as you're happy, it's all good
