got my wheels today!

As soon as Cleveland Ohio stops getting slammed with freakin snow these will go on.

I wound up with cheap Nankang tires 4 tires $600 shipped with tax.
$1300 for the wheels in 20 inch. Euro 26 is the wheels.

I like Nankang tires. They are grippy and have long tread life.

Looks good. I'm having one of my wheels repaired... these 20's bend quick with potholes!
Once the tires are gone, I'll be going with 19's.

Did the MRRs bend? I love your rims, was thinking of getting them...should I get 19s instead? Want to sell yours cheap?

Yeah, one bent from a VERY sharp pothole that's hardly visible due to construction on the 71. These wheels have held up well with fairly small potholes though.

If you don't want the hassle, I'd suggest 19's. I'll sell mine once the tires are gone and go with 19s. The tires are still about 80-90% though.

I'll end up selling the wheels relatively cheap just to move it. (Not too long ago, I sold an old set of 19" ADR M-classics for $250 to some kid that came from my W210.)

For now, I'm having the wheel fixed. It's just a VERY slight bend, not huge.

Matt, sorry for the threadjack.

tusabes, I'm not selling the wheels anytime soon and certainly not at $250...it was just an example. They're a little more expensive than 19's.

just a sneak peak!

I'm still working on the back ride height. I also have the caliper paint sitting here in my office. That will be done soon. Color silver.

I'll post some better pics when I get it done. Still freezing here is Cleveland Ohio!

back lowered and flat badge installed

I might drop the front another 1/4 inch.
Car is dirty
camera phone stinks.

What do you all think?

yeah your front looks quite a bit more wheel gap than the rear, as long as you dont end up too low for curbs Id say to drop the front more
