Want to VIP my car, need help picking wheels

I think OZ futuras would be sick but I'm open to any ideas. Auto Coutures look badass. What do you think? Plan to lower the car when I get wheels.

Haha, I'm sure you're right. I really want some Auto Couture wheels. Your wheels look awesome too. I was also thinking about bentley wheels but those seem to be pretty played out. I should have the car dropped in about 2 weeks so that'll be step 1 in the right direction

Good to hear because I just ordered coilovers haha. Glad to hear it also because your car is low and I was worried I wouldn't be able to go that low :biggthumpup:

haha yeah I fu*ked it up... too many late nights at work. 18 sounds like a good size. I was thinking 19s would be too big for a smaller car like this. How wide are the wheels? Thanks for all the help man

For some reason I always prefer seeing D.A.D. Garson interior mods in a

Give Aaron a call from DPE, he has some amazing wheels and can hook you up with something crazy for your C. Tell him Kamil with the SL55 sent you he will know exacly what you are looking for.

Congrats, Have you seen the w220 style tails for the w203? I think they'd compliment the look you're going for well. And I don't know if it's too late to consider MAE crown jewels, but here is a good example...

Update:

The rear is installed but the front isn't yet. Apparently Mercedes likes to make stupid tools for everything so I had to search the net and order a strut hat tool so I can reuse the stock hats. Once that comes in the next few days, the front will be lowered finally. The rears are all the way down and it's tucking the top of the tires on my stock wheels. Perfect drop IMO. I'll post pics when it's all done
