Thanks again to Rich Garces (pitcher for the RED SOX) for the CLK55 wheels. Old wheels where the sport 16"

What do you think?

Your not from these parts Dave ... in the South ... that's called "Krylon Tint" ... flat-black spray paint


Seriously, Black99 ... it looks awesome. I'm one of those firm believers that no wheel looks as good on a MB than AMG Monoblocks.

BTW: did you 'lift' the wheels from Rich Garces ... or did he give them to you ... " I gotsta know" ... tell us the story!

Red face Alright Drew, here is the boring story on the wheels.

About a year ago Richard Garces (El Guapo to Red Sox Fans) moved in 2 houses down. I collect autographs, and I was excited to have a pro baseball player living near by. It took a year for me to run into him. He told me he loved my mustang (www.yellow95.corral.net), and wanted to drive it. I told him anytime, but didnt really think anything would come of it. That saturday he came by my house driving a brand new CLK55. I took him for a ride in my supercharged mustang (he wouldnt drive it), and he then let me drive his CLK55. We were talking afterwards, and I told him when he gets aftermarket wheels for his car, I want to buy the AMG's. He said he would give them to me. I didnt hear from him for a week, and figured he had forgotton, but sure enough, he knocked on my door one day with 4 boxes for me. Wouldnt accept a dime in payment. Needless to say, I am now a SOX fan.

MBtech208- I heard if I move the Mass air closer to the throttle body, I can increase performance. Is this true? Is it worth it?
