I haven't posted up on here much in the past few months so I figured I'd pop in and say hi. The car didn't change too much in the that time but it's performing daily driving duties as well as ever and it still puts a smile on my face every morning 
Put the car in "winter mode" a couple of weeks ago. Picked up these SL500 wheels (18x8.5 and 18x9.5) for cheap from a friend's dad and borrowed some adapters from a friend. Tried to run 225/40/18 Falken 512s all around without adjusting the height and it was a huge fail as it rubbed the front fenders going in a straight line. Ended up driving it like that for about 3 days though
I had to either raise the car (fronts would be easy but a hassle bc I have a rear perch out and I'd have to drop everything out of the back to put them back in) or run smaller tires. Since my 215/40 512s off my CCWs were still in great shape, I threw those on the fronts and the car is actually the most comfortable and quiet it's been since I got it
Here's a few of the CCWs before they came off and then the Benz wheels
I was running -3 degrees of camber in the back on the CCWs, had it set to -2 when I got it aligned recently. Fronts are maxed out at -1.7. The only change will be swapping the 15mm rear adapters for 20mm ones once I can borrow those from another friend haha
