I have the C219 (btw, fix your profile :P), and yeah, the car is an absolute monster. I'm coming from a Civic lol (stock), so you can only imagine...You planning on doing any mods in the future?

The CLS body style that came out in 2006 is the C219 and the one you have good sir is C218. I don't know why they went backwards on this one either.

I'm totally jealous of you! Can't wait to pick one up in the near future.

We weighed the HRE P40SC - 20x11 for Vic55's CLS63 .. came in at 22.4 lbs !!

There is still a huge weight savings by upgrading to a set of HRE's.

My V12TT with a ECU / TCU tune rocks for sure, still I'd love to have a new CLS TT, but they are just more that I am willing to spend on a car. Maybe in a 2 years when they are 1/2 price ?

For now I'll enjoy reading about all of yours

I will echo the Jesus...

Also, I'm selling these, if you're interested (shoot me a PM). If not, definitely get some HREs.



Edit: Those are winter tires, so imagine a lower profile for normal tires.

They're the previous generation. Vic's are the 2-ish month old style (described as more conical). Still a huge weight savings over stock.
