I'll put up the pics of the wheels when they come. It's a secret. They are a well known company but I just haven't seen any of their wheels on any mercedes besides one other model. I'll post pics soon

Try to get new wheels with less offset than the stock AMG 8 and 9" ET30 F/ ET 39 R . You you will fill out those wheel arches, especially since lowering the suspension increases your negative camber and makes the stock wheels vanish inside.

I've been waiting for my new set of rims. That is why I kept my stockies on. Then I saw E55 Rocket on this forum with the same wheel set-up that I had a long time ago and fell in love again. So I put them on. I have another post on the boards with the wheels on...

Any solution to avoid the negative camber when lowering? I have this dilemma on my cls55 - when the car was lowered one inch, the rear wheels resulted in significant negative cambers.

Thanks.

BenzoBoi and Vic55,

You guys are too funny. You know each of you want the other to know already, so just say it.

I ended up with 19" wheels in a brushed/ano center finish with chrome lips.
