Newbie with my modified w166

Hello everyone.

Here is my 2013 Ml-350. I had it lowered on 22 inch wheels and tinted it as well.

Looks sharp. What's the width of the wheels and what was the offset.

Lokks good!
What did you do to your lower front bumper-is it painted, plastidipped or vynil wrapped? I ve been planning to paint the bottom plastics on my front/rear bumper, do you have a close up picture by any chance?

Looks good not ghetto at all. I'm looking on doing the same with ml63 knock offs in 22" , but with ml550 with air matic suspension. How much did you lower it by?

^^^ My plans are to wrap the whole car in pearl white vynil. I was just messing around with the front lower parts of bumper. I think its better than that ugly grey color mercedes decided to use. Im going to remove bumper to wrap them better and all chrome parts I will wrap black. Ill post more pics when I have some time to finish.


@340z With 22's & stock height ride was just fine little change from stock wheels. Now that its lowered I must say its a bit more bumpy but the price we pay to have our cars modified I will attach pics of wheels n stock height.

@jttorrebl Thanks! I used H&R springs they're the only ones who make springs for w166 other than carlsson or brabus i think. I believe when mercedes uses air ride it can be lowered by using "links"?? probably need to research it. This is what i used http://www.hrsprings.com/application...s/25/1534/2013

@evoracer & Kvn Thanks! Wheels are 22X10.5 MHT Niche apex wheels & Toyo tires. And don't go copying my style buddies LOL jk http://www.mhtwheels.com/mht-luxury-...el.cfm?id=5270


Ill try and take better pics next time. There is also one with stock height as you can see looks like a 4X4 lol

Thank you for this info.

My wife loves the black on white looks so I'm thinking about going that route with her 13' ML.

I need to research coilover kits for this car.

I'm not sure if any is available out there.

If you don't mind, PM me the cost of the wheels plus the tire size that you're running.

Thank you in advance!!
