as always your car looks sick!
BTW have you noticed any issues with your steering rack due to the agressive lowering.

Can I ask about the cholo rear wheel/tire setup? What is the deal with that? 245's in the rear they said? I'm so confused, no idea why anyone would want their SL55 to look like a lowrider Samurai. No offense, I just don't get it.

Thank You. I had no issues with the steering rack the car has been set up at this height for over a year now.

Thanks. It took me a while to decide on what I wanted as far as the tag went but when I got that IDEA, I ordered it in a sec.

Looks fantastic if you don't Luke it shut your mouth I personally think that when people put flat badges or carbon lips on the bottom of a stock bumper it looks like a chick with a muffin top and a bra too tight making a bunch of rolls. But I don't say so when someone posts a picture of it as a sweet new mod. To each his own.

I don't say I didn't "Luke" it. I said I didn't like it. Clearly you have **** taste regardless. BTW, I'm your father Luke.

As I said before if you don't LIKE it who cares , don't slam someone who put hard earned money into there own car to get it the way they like it. And as far as spelling is concerned I'm writing from my phone so autocorrect sucks.

I asked a question. I don't understand the methodology. If you post something on a public forum, it's there for the public to comment on as they please. You're putting yourself out there, period.

I've never understood the stretched tire look, but otherwise the ride looks freakin' beautiful.

While I don't like the poke nor the stretch on those wheels...I think the wheels themselves look badass as does the rest of the car. I would just fix the offset and put wider tires.

Its a sense of style that I like, some people love it some people hate it. It's not the lowrider look, its STANCED which are 2 different things. Everyone has a dif style so I guess you can do what you want to the car you own. I'm buying a set of 18inch light weight wheels to run drag radials on for the track, other than that I only cruise the car on the weekends.

Your worst nightmare...
Car looks good mang.

I kind of understand why the rear tires are skinny, is it to help with the offset? either ways looks great.

Not too many people do but Im glad you understand. Yes if the tires were any wider they would not be able to stretch on the inner side of the fender, the wheels having such an aggressive offset with a 5.5 inch lip you need to run as narrow of a tire as you can or at least so it since inside the fender wall where the contact patch starts.

If that's the look you desire, I do understand. Like you said, it's only for a Sunday "cruise". But the way your car is set up, I personally wouldn't have put that license plate on it. No offense, but just about any M car ever produced will blow your doors off at speed. Same thing if you want to race that laughable M powered car from a light. All you'll be able to do is give him a friendly wave good bye . Your suspension has no travel at all, and the wheels/tires are going to hit the fenders. These cars are not exactly light weights, and all that mass needs to be absorbed by the suspension for traction.
