2004 W211 E55 AMG >>gone but not forgotten > W123 280E > W124 E280 > W126 380SE
You've got that stance on point. Nicely done. If there has to be one model that is a favorite within the Mercedes community it is the SEC.

The Nexens you have come in that size, and they seem reasonably cheap.
For the money, the best tire I've owned. I wouldn't expect much on an AMG car, but for your application and mine, they're great. They like camber and look great, too. Highly recommended.

Finally getting around to posting pics from SoWo from various photographers, nameky Kent Foster and Southrnfresh. Enjoy!

Love those new pics, your SEC looks great. It put me in mind of this one that I read about on Jalopnik a while ago (I assume you've probably seen this):

And thanks for the info re: the tires. I'm picking up my new rims tomorrow and I'll soon be ordering the Nexens to go with them.
