New wheels + lowering pics (thanks dragonAMG ;) ) (large pics)
I used factory MB adjustable links to lower the front, and about 2mm thick washers in the rear between the sensor bracket and frame plate. I do have clear corners, but given the problems I had with the rear suspension, I didn't want to muck with anything else this weekend. Excuse the dirty car...

Does anyone know where I might be able to find black lug-bolts?

They're 20"s. I was hoping to find black, would get rid of the ugly MB lugs

Looks hot! Did U consider removing the rear valance cover? It makes it look even lower!

Nice, a fellow Ashburnion. Yeah, I think I am going to get it tinted, probably only 50% though...

Try Volk racing lugs from rays wheels. They kick ***. Painting doesn't work because they get scarred when installing.
