Couple of ideas for your SLC, similar to your 5 spokes, all 19s and lowered 30mm.
Champagne colour.


Bronze colour.

And Hyper silver.

Thank you for the ideas, do you know what kit was used to lower it 30 mm ?

Sorry no, but you can't go wrong with H&R lowering springs, always have them on my cars.

Yes I've seen the H&R springs I found one photo and the car looks too low, they appear to list two different springs though 25mm and 30- 35mm

I had the Eibachs on my Supra and on my E46 and was very happy with them but the drop looks too much if its 30-35 mm

They usually need your chassis number to get the exact ones, they did with my C207.

Very confusing, on the H&R website they only appear to list the 25mm lowering springs or the street performance coilovers

Would 25mm be enough? What size are those 5 spokes, that you are getting refurbed?

According to my build/data sheet my car has the sports suspension which I thought has a 10mm drop from stock ?
The front on my car looks fine (tyre to arch gap) but the rear looks too high, approx 35mm from the tyre to the arch.
The 5 spokes I have are 18".
If I went to 19's and kept the overall diameter the same by dropping the tyre profile then the arch gap would stay the same

A better shot of the rear

Been on both H&R and Eibach and the springs either supply to fit my SLC 300 are both 30/35 mm drop from stock by the look of it.

Black 300 SLC, tried to pick alloys similar to yours, 18s and lowered 45mm.

I have the same wheels on my SL albeit in 19's and I changed the colour to dark gunmetal.

I'm more confused now, what lowering kit is on this car ?

Just go black with a diamond cut edge and thank me later!

Thanks but don't want diamond cut, not a huge fan to be honest

No particular kit, just showing what a 45mm drop with 18s would look like.

Just go black then. I think you will cheapen the car with all these other colours.

There you go, Black 18s and lowered 30mm, sorry definitely not for me, but it's not my car.

Trouble with black wheels is they don't picture well, but in the metal they look way better!
