Fair enough. I totally agree with you on this one, but there was "some" on topic stuff there.

However, if you think my post on the "goodbye MBworld" was a hijack, then you didn't do a very good job of reading my post. I thought "j/k" listed in the post would have given away that I was joking and that the last sentence was the intention (which was related to the whole topic). Of course, we're now hijacking this thread for this. I should probably be PM'ing this...

I would LOVE to throw 305s on the back of mine. I'm totally with you on the 19s. Heck, in New England, I managed to bend 3 stock 18" AMG rims on my E55. Can't wait to see what I do when I throw the stock 18" AMG rims out on my SL600 and switch to 19" "somethings"...Everyone keeps telling me to go 20" because of the better looks, variety of products, and sometimes better pricing, but I just can't imagine how many of those I will destroy by having zero sidewall...Oh, the dilemmas we face.

BTW, those new wheels look great. Did you have to do anything special to fit the 265/295s? I'm assuming there's enough room in there. Can't wait to see a pic of them all black!
