New Wheels and Dropped

Finally got my new wheels on the other day. The sun came out so I washed her and then finished lowering her. The top of the wheel well is now 26" off the ground. I personally think this car looks amazing now.

The set up is 20x8.5 and 20x10. These are custom wheels from Audio City USA. I would like to give these guys a shout out. They did a great job on the wheels. They fit great and look amazing. They are great quality 3-piece forged wheels, and the color is a gun metal gray that looks great with my black beast.

I went with 245 35 20 and 275 30 20 Falken 452s. Tires look great also on the wheels, and were a great price for what they are.

Stock wheels are for sale if anyone is interested...

I hope you all enjoy!







Here are some before I lowered it more. My driveway is slopped so the height is bad...







There were also all taken from my Galaxy 3S...10x better then an iphone

Thanks! Well, I got the lowering links from a company in Europe that people on here referred me to. I think they work for a few different Mercedes models. If you are interested in a set let me know, I can help you find their site. They are pretty cheap too.

Thanks! Yea I love the color. I always liked the gray wheels on a black car...I'm glad I didn't go with black wheels. I might end up keeping the stocks and have them refinished.. I just know that I don't normally keep cars long so when I sell or trade it in I'm always stuck with a set.

I'm not too worried about it yet though.

I think performance mods are next...

I talked him down to 2800. So if you see a set you like do the same. Shipping was super fast, and they made them pretty quick. www.acwheelsusa.com
is the site. Ask for James.
