i've got tons of work to do on my car...
but damn evosport pulley kit is nowhere to be found.... That's the only thing holding me up.

Got the HEADERS ready for install. StopTech SS Brake Lines, CLK55 AMG rear brake kit, AMG air boxes, and of course: stickers !!

and I got a C55 spoiler to paint for my wife's car, not to mention rear '05 taillights, and C32 AMG powder-coated wheels.

I think I'll be up in O.C. area on Thursday & Saturday.

why not just refinish it with paint if going silver? powder-coat's gonna add at least a lb to the already heavy wheel.

they're already powder-coated silver.
The car is not gonna go fast, so added weight to the wheels really won't do much harm.

no, these are different set of wheels.

My wheels on the SC are the 17" CLK55 AMG 5 twin-spoke STYLE IV (b) in chrome.

The ones my wife is putting on her SS are the 17" C32 AMG 5 twin-spoke STYLE IV (a) in powder-coat silver.

Gotcha. Did you buy your wife's wheels used and in need of refinishing?

I guess you could say they were used, but not really.
The previous owner of the wheels bought them new. Had them powder-coated, used them for less than 300 miles, and then got a different set of wheels (larger size). I got a heck of a deal on them, less than $400 for the set. I couldn't pass it up for authentic AMG wheels.

That's a great pick up, Carlos...though I definitely prefer the 209 style that you have.

yeah, I like the 209's on my Coupe... always have.
she likes the C32 look on the sedan, and with that price, it was a no-brainer.
