rhodes1 - just curious, where did you get the wheels and how much did they costs? I have been looking forever for some nice wheels for my black S500 and am currently considering Milano's.

Wheels

Hi.

They've come from a fellow on eBay who had a 2001 E-Class. As I recall I paid about $1,400 for the set not including tyres just over two years ago. They are 19" and fit the well pretty nicely. I had 22" on the car when I bought it and the ride quality was a bit rougher than I prefer. Also, after two blow outs from low profile tyres it was time to change them.

Check eBay they are pretty common, also someone else since my post mentioned here they had an aftermarket version.

Good hunting.

Rhodes

No, drivers seat not finished because i was restoring it ,too many cracks,
so while it was drying i decided to add black , its gonna be one at a time(day off).
Masking is time consuming,takes couple of hours.

I got this idea ,after seeing this post

That car came out looking immaculate - and it must have smelled great too. You're getting very close to achieving the same result - good work!

Not a ton of mods as the car is new to me. Started out with a light tint over factory taillights and a rim upgrade ...HRE 18/9 front with a 255/40/18 and 18/10 rear with 28benzo 001.jpg

benzo 002.jpg5/35/18...more to come as the suspension is in need of some love.
