E350 sport lowered with stock rims?

Hello all,

I have a black e350 sport with the stock spoke style rims. I was looking at getting some new shoes for the ride but after looking the ones that I really liked which didnt "cheapen" up the look of the benz are all over 2k and its a lease so I am unsure if I want to drop that much for a 27month lease. I live in Michigan...so the rims would only be on the car a total of 2 summers...

However, I was curious if anyone dropped there ride on the stock rims or if anyone had pics of this? I like the stock rims but I dont like the gap

Thanks in advance.

LOL I know that. Its just my first lease...kind of hesitant to drop money in it thats all.

I have always bought cars and new that what I was doing to them was a longer term ya know?

I'm sure you've thought of this but you could buy your wheels for the term of your lease and if they don't work with your next car then you can simply sell them. At the end of the day, you wouldn't be down much, imo. GL with your car though.
