New Rims & Drop
Well I bought BLackbenzz's rims wich by the way is a great seller!!
Did the h&r springs with Koni adjustables
The ride is a little rough I thought one of the rims were bent but that wasnt the case it was a bad wheel spacer
Here are some pictures:

E55Cent yea I am going to do the kleeman setup im almost saved up ! ill let you know when I order it
I started out with a 18" monoblock
I bought those cheap lugcentric wheel spacers from the local auto store found out they were not Hubcentric There was a terrible shimmy in the steering wheel because the wheel wasnt centered on the hub. Then I bought the h&R wheel spacers from EVOSPORT (thanks by the way) 10mm int the front 12mm in the rear and it fixed the problem!
Thanks for the props

Just one question, can I buy the rims back? I miss those wheels!!!!!!!!!! They look SICKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!! The worst part is the new rims I bought to clear my Brembo Gran Turismo BBK apparently only clears 13" BBK and not my 14" I was told it would clear a Brembo BBK, I just forgot to ask what size! Now I gotta buy some new wheels. Keep us update don the Kleemann stuff. CLK55 w/ kleemann s/c is one of my dream cars.

Any clearance problems with the drop? I know my friend did Renntech springs and Koni shocks on his SLK and has problems with speed bumps or driveways with a large lip on them. Those wheels look great. What are they?

Yea man I dont know how u sold these things im in love with them! Did u try a wheel spacer to clear your brakes?
They are 19" SEVAS wheels
As for the clearing they rub at about 50mph on a big bump or rail road tracks
I was expecting that though these wheels are not made for a clk55 they do not clear the brakes. So what I am trying to say is the wheel spacers are what caused the rub

Yea I got no rub when I had the wheels on my car. Have you tried rollin your fenders? I thought about spacers but they would push my wheels too far out and I would rub bad. What do you think about the SL65 wheels? Im leaning more towards the Iforged Aero's right now. Cant decide on what finish I like though (plus I gotta sell my current wheels).

I'll try to get better pics of the wheels. Here are a couple of them from HIN before the show. They are REPLICA SSRGT3 wheels with black centers and CHROME lip. They have been on the car for less than 3 weeks and I bought them brand new (brand new tires too). Need to get rid of em fast so selling for 2k + shipping. Thanks for the help fellas.

2005 CLK55
Shouldnt this be posted on a different thread?? I dont mind links to classifieds on the forum but discussions should be part of the classifieds section so it doesnt look like activity in the thread.
