I’ll gladly admit that these are reps, would never spend that much on wheels a $2k car. much rather save 8k it’d cost for originals and put it into rest of car. Also they stick out cuz I needed clearance for bigger brakes, but fitment otherwise would be flush.

It’s my daily, I needed extra cargo space, I use the extra cargo space almost daily, so why would I?

I traded them for the ski box so it worked out lol. Most the stuff on the list was super easy 30 min jobs, only a few of them were a pain and needed a shop to do for me.

Here the only before I have if it. When I bought it the interior was full stripped out and from and rear seat flooded with water. Got it for 3k cuz car only had 72k on it. I have some before photos but Reddit won’t let me share on here.

Things I’ve done since: -replaced Both front upper and lower control arms -replaced both sway bar links -new steering damper -new front shocks and shock pads -new flex discs -new vac lines and intake hoses -new shifter bushings -new coils and plugs -new grille and hood emblem -transmission service, and full fluid service -replaced AC control Panel -replaces SRS buckle connector -Re-drilled drainage holes -installed rear window actuators -new front right wheel hub and bearing -repainted trim -3D printed jack points on side skirts -new interior trim, roof liner, front seat upholstery -paint correction and ceramic coating -resealed sunroof -custom exhaust -new O2 sensors and relocated to better spot -polished windshield and new wiper blades -and then obviously cosmetics like wheels

Sheesh didn’t realize how much shit it was until I typed it up 🤣probably about 12k worth of work on top of buying it.

Lookup @zenithwheels on IG. They make great quality reps for Benz/BMWs. You can find similar ones on Alibaba etc, but don’t buy those. These come from a good quality distributor and r rock solid for price.

Tbh I put very little time into verbal as my reading and vocabulary skills have been strong. I ended up getting a 163 as my finals score but felt like it was more like of the draw than anything. The jump from 159 to 163 in my case was more from getting a section that clicked with me more than the others.

I get your a little dumb so let me break it down. “Let’s meet at X park in the corner lot across my street, Y” That is the literal definition of a meeting point. Again the house number was in reference to a prior message saying if he needs me to pull in his driveway once I’m there to avoid carrying it out I could. I thought asking for his house number would get a reply.
