It'll look better than what it is now. I **** the stock wheels too. But 18's would be ideal on the 202!

I agree totally... got a pretty good deal on these though so I couldnt pass it up lol

[SD202]

Thanks! Im getting some newer SLK 17" wheels hopefully tomorrow...lol once it was low I cant stand these 15s..the wheels arent really special but they are 2" bigger, really clean and I got a good deal on them. Hopefully they fit well.. idk what size tires to try yet...Heres a pic of the wheels still on the other car

if you keep an eye out you should be able to find a old set of AMG's for a fairly decent price. used.

New wheel teasers

Got the new wheels today did a test fit on the left side rears are 17x9.25 with 225/45/17and fronts are 17x8.25 with same size tire. Tomorrow I will have 215/40/17 for the rears and 205/40/17 for fronts...then I will decide wether or not to go lower or if I want to get some spacers..

nice, but those wheels..imo are not the best option.

yes, I would go to 17's, (I also have 17's on mine w203) but I think the perfect wheels to your car are the oz amg's 17", 8,5front and 10 rears..

[SD202]

they'll do for now.

Yea I dont dissagree but I got a good deal on these and I like them for now

More pics with new tires here soon...

[SonicSlammer]

Ok Heres 4 more pics from yesterday outside. Sorry for blurry fast iphone pics but owell. I like the way it looks better in person than in pictures.. yes it needs some spacers since i got smaller tires with slight stretch.. Pleases me for now though..

Did you cut the bump stops on your stock struts ?

[SonicSlammer]

No I didnt remove any bumpstops thought about it but it rides pretty smooth so I dont think im bottoming them out unless they were already worn out and soft..

[Hotrun_bb]

looks good. just needs a 20mm spacer in the rear and it would be on!

Like SD202 said, I would cut the bumpstops in half. It may ride even more smoother.

[SonicSlammer]

Yea Im thinking about doing some spacers but not sure which ones to go with and what about longer wheel bolts?
