Luke, Question on the ASA ST4

I have a R129 SL500. Contemplating whether to get 18's or 19's on the ASA ST4 wheel. HAve you seen both sizes on this car? Which size made the front fender look lifted?? Does the 19" "drown" the car out becuase it's too big perhaps? I know that some people even stash 20" into these cars. Abit too big for me.
The tirerack website helped alot and the wheels look great! Just wanted to get your opinion. Lastly, will the original center cap fit the opening of the ASA ST4 wheel? Thanks dude

depends on the weather
with 19's you will need to lower the car abit to avoid the optical illusion of the fender gap created by the lower profile tires but, they do look fantastic

take a look at lowering by following this link

as you can see the fender gap looks larger with the 19's even though it is the same
