have you asked the wife yet if she'll drive a lowered car? 
 
last time I did something like that to my (ex) gf's car she showed me how much she appreciated it by getting the wheels a nice bend.  apparently she didn't realize she should "slow down for potholes" :runcoold:

Too small. Look to be 17's. I say 19's or bust.

Nah... that shud be atleast 18s on that E class.

never cared for that style rim...
 
i'd say 3rd rims on the 4th drop...is that an option?  haha  :)

I have customized a car and she drove it fine. never even cracked the kit or scratched the rim. oh wait, when she first got them, she did scrape.:shrug:

I am going for 18" or 19". Those are 18" on the white car. just too high.

Thats my goal with the car. Just gotta convence her on that low of a drop.

That doesn't look like a 2 inch drop, that looks like a 5 inch drop! I still think those rims are too small on the white one.

get some HRE :p

the whites running on 18s, then the black one? 19s?

I'm feelin the black one. Both the wheels and the rideheight.

18s are okay on the 210 chassis, I guess...

The E55 came stock with 18s. Seems conservative now.

Not my favorite wheel, looks too "old" for the car.
I'm used to seeing them on E34 BMWs, late 80s to
early 90s.

Looks like a mesh wheel somebody forgot to cut the
triangles on. Definitely a period look.

Not much aftermarket support for the 210 chassis,
but the cool thing on the Benzes is that you can
fine-tune ride height with the spring pads.

Consider 19" Brabus Mono III, with as little as possible gaps between the wheel & fender.

that black benz looks pretty dope. those 19" carlssons set it off

I forgot to answer your question...

First company I ever saw make a wheel like this was MAE.

They called it the Monoblock, and I've also heard it called the
Crown Jewel. You can see the letters "MAE" in the casting in 
the photo below.

Man, I am old.

there's a million wheels that look just like those.  man, thats best looking eclass too.  always wantd one of those.

Maybe the best looking to you, but those cars are a pain in the ass to drive. We had an E320 we got for free from a dad's rich friend I drove it around for a month before my dad decided to trade it in haha.

Damn Charles, you're on every damn site how do you do it?
