2002 S500...Need rims, exhaust upgrade & Grill

Currently looking to upgrade my 16" stock chrome rims. I was told not to put anything over 18" because of suspension reasons. I see more people taking off their 20" and going back to 18". So, I find myself looking for a nice set of 18" chrome rims & tires. Let me know what tires work best with larger rims. I've been told perelli's are not the best because the rubber compound wears very fast.

Would like to throw some new chrome tips on my car, but would have to carve out the spaces in the bumper. Anybody have a better idea?

New grill needed. Want to take off the emblem and go with the CLK look for the front...any ideas?

For tires and wheels consult forum sponsor The Tire Rack - check out their site, it's great. Click on the list of advertisers at the top of the page. Check out the forum dealing with questions like yours toward the bottom of the main page.

For exhaust info, look for posts by contributor Benznodubs, using the advanced search tool.

For grille options, do a general search on the term. There is a ton of stuff posted. You could even review the sponsor list.

I like the 19" Deneblo. However, the 18" will work as well.
