His ride is so bad-***. I feel unworthy putting his wheels on my car sometimes...

How can those wheels go on your car with a different bolt pattern?

Just shows those wheels have some history...you carry on the tradition well.

I'm curious...what has been done to this Benze?

I didn't redrill anything. The 5x112 benz wheels fit on my Aristo and the shop did add some sort of ring to make sure they sit perfect.

Again, so as not to spark another controversial debate here, <b> I AM NOT RECOMMENDING THIS TO ANYONE UNLESS YOU DON'T EVER DRIVE YOUR CAR </b> (like me).

Not if you are going for a VIP look.

The E is sporting full Wald kit, air sus controller, etc. I believe he's sold the car now and the wheels are on my car.

Oh and by the way, guys, thanks for kissin' my butt, but you still won't get any e-cookies and I firmly believe that his ride is more badass than mine....

LOL. Got the disclaimer in place huh?

Oh, and my nose is clean. As nice as your car is, I agree with you that the pictured E is just BadAss.
