Not too shabby!!! The rear camber needs to be adjusted a titch & then it will look 110% fabulous!

Yeah, as soon as I get the springs on I'm gonna have a 4 wheel alignment done..... that and it's sitting on uneven ground in the pic so it makes it sit a little weird.

Looks good. That is one of the first styles I had considered for my car.

the rear camber looks fine... its not lowered yet. Once you drop it then the alignment issues come up. Oh, and you can't do any adjustment on the rear. (that a shop can do) its all custom work. On the front you can only adjust toe.

Very nice. The style looks good on the car for sure. Oh, and the car looks good too.

Nice wheels!!!!!!! I almost went with that style myself.

I've had this set for almost a year now though, so it's about time for some new ones


Don't worry, I'll pick a different style so I'm not being a copy cat.

Thanks for the comments guys! Carl... I actually laughed out loud when I saw that. Rod, these wheels with the dark grey centers would look b.a. on your car. I was going to get them for mine but I didn't want to wait another two months.

You can thank WildmaN for that inspiration, as he's always refering to thin spoked rims as "wagon wheels"....

I'll admit, they are a bit spokey looking, especially with the 4x4 ride height.... but I like em' just the same.

I think they look pretty cool, but yeah, lowering the car will definately make it look more "street mean"...

Growing up in the '60s and '70s, I'm kinda partial to the rear being up a bit, but that's just me. I actually thought for awhile about just lowering the front end of the car, but that would probably hinder the handling...

It's a Mercedes silver. Don't know the exact color.. The guy I bought it off of is a body man, he said he wanted a silver that popped.
