Welcome to MBWorld. Grats on the w211 pickup! What size wheels were you looking for? Have a design pattern and color in mind?

Let us know if we can also help you out with lighting upgrades. Swapping the dingy yellow for more modern white LED/HID will put a nice facelift on her. Parking lights, low beams, rear plates, interior are all popular upgrades

Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking to do 19" wheels not sure of a patern yet but definitely something with a nice chrome lip. I have already updated the low beam and parking lights and working on the interior as we speak. I'm also interested in up grading the sound system but have done alot of reading on that and to be honest it's kind of scaring me away lol. I have a 1400wat amp already from my previous install in my last vehicle and 2 10" Fosgate. And also miss my bluetooth lol.
