Your new wheels look really good! with a nice looking stagger\
i cant remember reading anywhere but what are the stats on the new tires and rims? size/ offset etc

But even your old wheels look ok to me
what size were your old wheels? 17s?

Thanks! Yeah they are flat black. Mines an old school 95'. The first w202s didnt come monochromatic. =X

I want to go lower, but im currently just simply running H&R Springs with stock #4 pads all around. Going to run no pads or #1 pads.:D

I got my current rims 2nd hand for $600 before shipping w/o tires.

I actually am selling my Brabus. They are authentic.
Right now im doing $900 including tires. Not interested in shipping at the moment tho. Ive got two locals interested rite now, so im goign to see if they take them first.
