Forgive the brightness on the photos. I'll see about finding a better place and better editing skillz too . I'm considering lowering (very little) but some. Not sure if I will though since I usually have either friends or two car seats in the back with my kids and I don't want any rubbing issues at all. What do you guys think?

He are the details:

The wheels: Vossen VVS-085 Silver Machined
Front: 20x9
Rear: 20x10.5

The tires: Nexen's

Rear: 285-30-20

benzat17

woooow woooow that came nice i dont think you need a drop they fit perfectly i was so close of buying 19" because i thought 20" will be too much but nope they are perfect thank you for changing my mind
now one question? hows the ride qaulity? is it the same ? and the handling ?

Thank you all for your comments! I am really happy with the way they came out as well. I know I could lower it just a tad in the back and a bit more in the front but I'm just going to leave it as it is.

Definitely go for the 20's, these fit just right and the ride quality is truly the same so far. I have to drive it longer to know for sure but ride/handling have been great. My wife drove it and she didn't notice a difference which tells you something there so the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) is high!

Best!

wheels look pretty good.

about that paint swirling though. Get some polishing done!

lsantizo

I know, I know.. I bought this car last year before winter and it's been raining ever since. Now that the weather is getting better I'm going to finally get this baby detailed!

Arnee

Color looks awesome! Almost looks like tectite grey, one of my favorite colors!

lsantizo

Thanks Arnee - looks like your ride is pretty well setup as well. Got any pictures?

They look great. I was thinking about new rims and tires for my 2003S430. What did you pay in total for the rims and tires? Thanks.

Aside from the need for paint correction, you have one gorgeous benz! Those swirls look pretty moderate, consider finding a detailer or purchasing a dual action polisher and some products!

Granted were nowhere close to each other, just to give you an idea: www.idetailautopros.com

Thanks Cameraman, I appreciate the link and resources. I am looking for a good detailer here in the Bay Area (California) as having two car seats with kids and snacks/juices in the back also lead to some crazy internal damage as well .

I have kids as well and its tough to keep it clean! I think AJ's detailing is good BTW theres gonna be a MB meet this sat at Mccarthy ranch at 7pm I'll be heading up to check out the scene.

lsantizo

Great - thanks for the heads up. Never been to one so hopefully I'll be able to check it out. Do you know where in McCarthy Ranch?
