Check first or somebody on here might advise.
My wheels are standard Sport versions, 16'' with 205/55 tyres. I do want to replace the wheels but will sticking to 16's from a W208 CLK, the version I want are known as Toliman's, they are forged and very light @ only 6.2kg/13.5lb each. See photo below.
Again my interior is standard Sport (5sp manual), the only mod so far is a Stack boost gauge, just have to decide where to mount it permanently. I do have another extra gauge for fuel pressure but that's a direct mount on the engine fuel rail. Again see photos below.
