~ perhaps... many owners on the forum think the car looks great as is... i will have to make that decision once i get it. i did order 10mm spacers (front & rear) to press the wheels out slightly.

if i elect to do rims (vossen 20" rims)... i will indeed lower the car with h&r springs. my favorites so far:

The MB looks great, bring it to Carlisle this year and join us in the Crossfire location and get reacquainted with the 23 that are attending this year.
