Traditionally, lowriders look better with small rims anyway not 18"+ sizings, more like 13", 14" and 15"s
Lowriders are awesome but, only in old-school American form, I have yet to see a euro car that suits being a lowrider





If you want 20" wires on a benz, get a W116, looks better than on a W126
The W116 lends itself better to being sacked on flashy rims



Just watch out for those MB fashion police
