Awesome and very clean, love it. In that very first picture, how have you kept your paint so flawless up front? No dings, scratches, chips, swirls, nothing...

woo - I always liked the OEM 19" CLS AMG wheels, but 19" wheels sound like so much work... Ill definitely be checking in to see what your car looks like once the new wheels are on.

ended up running a test fitment and was not happy with what i saw. fronts cleared the brakes but would require a spacer of at least 15mm or maybe even 20mm in order to avoid rubbing up against the shocks and strut if i were to hit a pothole or anything.. noticed that my previous wheels did exactly that. rubbed up against my shocks and struts.





long story short.. i'll be putting the stock 07 sport wheels back on monday. i think i'll end up painting them black eventually, though. updates coming soon..

yeah these looked good but it's just too much trouble to make them clear properly. they wouldn't have been flush at all with the front fender. these were 18s but they were still way too wide upfront.

What's the width and offset?

Also...do you have aftermarket suspension?
