Aftermarket Rims Parking :) (Pictures)

Just had a shoot done the other day, and whenever I park I noticed I always leave tons of room to the curb. All you guys park this same way? My girl tells me someone will knock my mirror off cause my car sticks out more than other cars towards the street. I think I rather have the mirror off than curb rash

Thanks to MIKE STERN for awesome shots

That overhead picture is my favorite.. Really shows how aggressive the rear wheel set up is..How is the install on that heat exchanger?

Ehhh, I do the same thing.


Thing is - I never get hit/bumped/scratched when street parking. Its only in parking lots where bad stuff happens...


Got any shots with the top down and parked?

Fluid Motor Union did my heat exchanger they had to fab brackets to make it fit right, but now I'm super happy with the way it sits.

Thanks

19x9.5 front with 225/35/19 and 19x11 rear with 245/35/19.
Renntech55 just did my mirrors in carbon so now I fold my mirrors everytime I park since they are one of my favorite mods on the car.

SO SICK! Absolutely LOVE your ride!

I always park just like you. Always park about a food away from the lil concrete stubs also so I don't damage the front lip anymore than I already have.

looks good. When I park though, I spend a lot of time getting really close the curb and never touching it. Living in a heavily populated city means that there are bicyclists and idiot drivers who will sideswipe you.

Usually the area by my house is not heavily populated so I try my best to get to the curb, but this is as close as I dare come.

Looks good!

But whats the reason for having bigger rims than tires? I've seen a few members riding like this. I'm not too familiar with it.

The car looks dope, but I can't really understand the thought around the stretched tire either ? Please explain, is it because the wheels offset and the car being lowered, or did you want the flush look. I can tell you, that you would definitely tear up your CF front lip up here in Northern Virginia, with it being so low. But cool looking car, I'm starting to like the SL AMGs more and more after seeing your ride.
