Wheels are pretty tough to find. Been trying to track a replacement for over a year so far no go. Ive only seen similar sets around 500-1000$.
Havent touched the 190 in a while so did a little polishing. As much as one could polish a turd. Hah. Pulled a front wheel and realized the centras are rubbing the inner fenders on full lock. Probably no big deal, but i'll just have to wait and see. Have yet to decide on what struts to run.
Tried 205/45s up front. To bubbly for my taste. Thinking about running a 40 series instead. If i can get my hands on some 16x7 centras i'll run staggered. Should help with the inner rub as well.
Cars sitting on a downslope so ignore the height. Cant fit my jack under the front & lip is off at the moment. Got an idea for another lip, but thats going to be my little secret.
Doing ratchet things. Pulled the intake manifold to polish up the injector hardlines. Clean up the injection pump, replace some vacuum hose, & repair some coolant temp wiring.
Then jumped into polishing this shit. Still very rough. Got the first runner 50% there.
Nice setup! I've got the same build going on my 84 190d! I picked up some centras from a PYP before my 240d got totalled last year around this time. The 240d could not handle the rims but they sure did look good on it! How did you get all the chrome off of those rims? A Sacramento Chrome shop turned me down for chrome removal, I wont talk bad about them, but it's some bull that the guy said the shop wont let him remove the chrome from rims! I've got a set of AMG rims that need your knowledge! I'll post some pic's on my build here shortly! Keep us updated!
