GET 22's
im gettin 22's this year. just looking for da right wheels. im sellin a set of my giovanna 20s chrome. if your're intrested. they are in good condition. the only problem is the rivets are peeling. but if i was you spend the money on a set of 22's they only cost around 3Gs - 3500 for nice rims. i paid 4Gs 4 years ago for my 20s. if i only knew prices was dropping i would have 23s now.

I got 22" iFORGED Sprints sitting in my garage ready to be installed on my 2002 ML320... i say for the 20's, but dont get anything too chromed out, its getting played out, everyone is slapping multipiece rims on it, such as HRE and iFORGED...
ML320CHROME20S, we should definately meet up! Get some iFORGED shoes man, I know a couple other poeple in the NJ area with modified ML's... set up a meet or something, I thought you were selling your ML for an Escalade?

I'll say No as well!...........I believe that increasing the size (don't know how to explain this) changes the overall drive effeciency.
The wheel would need more power for a given torque at ground level!.....Hence, causing you to put your foot down on the Accelarator.
Lower gas mileage........more cost.

Thanks for the repsonse guys. I think I should save my money. As for the lowering question, if you have over 20k miles on your stock shocks..you should definately get new ones. The ride is noticeably stiffer.

Mercedes-Benz ML270CDI -01
19"
I'm thinking of buying a pair of 19" to my ML270CDI -01 plus I'm thinking of lowering it.
What's the tires profile on your ML and how much have you lowered it?
(I hope you understand me inspite of my poor english)

I understand you just fine. I am using 285/55/19 Scorpions. This fitment is incorrect. When I bought these wheels years ago, a 285/45/19 tire was not yet available. Therefore, you can either use a 285/45/19 or a 295/45/19 (Dunlop 9000). The 285/45/19 is a perfect match with the stock factory wheel and tire diameter.

Nope, white/blue, almost like a greenish/bluish hint... looks very good!
Heres how my 8000k's look on a Maxima...
I got them from Mother's Auto Accessories in Rockaway NJ, paid about 580... thats with installation, about 430 without installation.... though they are HIGHLY illegal and won't pass inspection, I vow never to turn back to halogeon's again... I believe my kit is the Hielolite kit or something like that.

I say go for the 20s or maybe even 22s, but whatever size you go with, stay with the HRE or I-forged brands. Can't go wrong with those.

You'd end up making more money there in 3-4 years then buying rims that has no value (after 2-3 years).

You start to realize the toys you have has just come and go. New things always in development and when you get something, there's always something better a year after. Any investment isn't wise to put in a car.
