Thanks guys haven't been on this forum in a while. Didnt expect all the nice comments. Anyway, here is an update. I have since changed the wheels for the OEM Mercedes "Evo 1" AKA Sl129 wheels 16x8 ET34 (exact same as the BBS). So its still a nice upgrade from the small 15x7.5 originals.

I actually love the looks of the car now as it really seems to fit better. As a added bonus and I'm not sure why, the car drives better. All I can think is that the outer lips on the BBS are lightweight (thin) aluminum as I could feel all the road in the steering wheel with the BBS. The new wheels deadened that a bit and it seems to track just a bit straighter. Let me know what you think? I had the OEM wheels refinished and they are 100% PERFECT! Loving them!

BBS wheels are now for sale if anybody is interested.
