It will "work" on a non-lowered SL, but it looks super hooptie in person...

It works on our lowered R230? We lowered it an inch... and no rubbing... I even shot a vid to make sure....

Now, the offset is not wrong... It may be too agressive and not what most people are used to seeing... But if you look at MEC Designs in Germany all their wheels are aggressive like that... Some people like a "tuck" or a "poke"... That would be a poke... lol.....

In person with it lowered, it looks tough.... Not the norm.... But still, tough looking...


And i see you have some quality cars, with quality products!!!! Nice lineup!

NO, i would tell them the truth. I have never heard of that tire and i dont know anythign about it.

I persoanlly wouldnt buy them simply because if i need a nitto invo or ps2 or any other tire i can have them in an hour. but if i guy wants them and i can get them, i'll sell them.
