Mint condition W126 there! I wonder if the power antenna still works.

 

Yep...once again because of the forum members leading me the right way.
You, Rob at Vivid, Serge at Benz-works, Lon at HRE and my boys Saeed and Serge...you guys are the best and once done this will be car built by you guys as much as me.

All of you spent so much spent time PMing, e-mailing and texting with me and my annoying questions...thank you so much...

Truly what the forum is all about!!!

HYPE - DON'T MAKE ANOTHER MOVE WITHOUT THESE GUYS!!!!!!!


Vic - I saw the pictures of the BBQ...Looks like you wagon stole the show once again!

 

I agree FF, I almost feel dumb because of how little I know........but as many have said,
'hell yeah forums'

 

No dumber than me brutha...we are all here to learn and share...and to do a little bragging every now and then..

Egos suck......

 

Which mod are you doing now on this picture?

 

Too many to mention without highjacking Hype's thread. Will create a thread later this weekend...pretty cool stuff though.

HYPE!!!!

Jump in man...the waters just fine. On C its almost unnoticeable. On S+ you feel it but it just seems more sturdy across the settings...less roll too. I made my wife drive it and she was cool with it...res delete, drop and all...

Take a look..but keep in mind that these are the stock 19" and I have 20" on the way...can't wait!

wow, I must have missed you painting your stock wheels??
nice...
like the sig too...
so you got 20's eh? 20x11 rear right?
what tire size are you going to run?

 

Nothing against your signature image, freefall; but that prominent image again brings that comparsion into my mind...just can't stop myself from noticing the "thick lips" tail lights on the otherwise magnificient CLS.

Gosh, I really hope MB does something with those tail lights with their "mid-MY" refresh.

 

it's easy to not worry about that once you sit in the driver's seat

 

I am running the 20 mm KW drop in Philly with virtually no problems on clearance (other then a very steep driveway a friend has out in the burbs that cost me some new rocker panels and shields). Still it is the only way to go with this car.

 

HAHA...no worries man. The lights grew on me but I did hate them at first. The real reason I put that up was to show off the new Agency Power CF rear spoiler I got from Vivid with the CLS 63 reflecting off of it...

HYPE!!!
Both Saeed and I drove my car at Willow today....wow, wow, wow, wow....and its was all about what the drop did to the car.

 

 

so HRE os making another set of rears for me: 19x11 this time, also with a deeper
concave look too, which I didn't even know could be modded......
very cool...
now I'm trying to figure out what tires to get.....I could go to a 265 in the front and a 305 in the rear.......or a 295 in the rear......
but I think I may stay with the 255's in the front.....
thinking ps2's or something.....

any input is sweet.....

 

255x35 and 305x30 is the proper sizes for 19's on our cars and keeps the stock diameter (very very very close)...

 

For others purchasing HRE Wheels, please make sure to request/order with the right width/offset/specs. Please make sure to work with HRE authorized dealers that can help you with the right selection.

All our wheels are custom. If you place an order without specifying, you may end up with a OEM+ fitment, but you might have expected a more aggressive fitment.

Keep in mind, that anytime you are going for an aggressive fitment, you may or may not require modifications via suspension tweaks, tire sizing, fender rolling, etc. It's just part of the game to get the right look. Brand/model of tires can also vary the fitments.

Lucky for all of the MBworld members, Vic55 works hard to obtain as much information for the good of all of the MBworld members. So if you ever meet Vic in real life, make sure to thank him for his contributions!

I am also at your disposal to assist you.

 

Guys - I have a set on order and Lon contacted me right after Hype's post to confirm that mine were right ordered right (Vic's specs)...and they were thanks to Vivid Racing/Rob's attention to detail. Thanks guys!!!

 

I did the work at Discount Tire....it's a pretty good place, but I do not think they order HRE's very often, but now they know more; and that's half the battle////

but it makes total sense to go to a good HRE dealer.....
I got my Vossens through them, and my mandrus through some folks just around the corner from the tire place....

I still am incredibly thankful to have some more wheels made for my car...
will always speak very highly of HRE....

 

awesome: the new rears arrived today........19x11....
going to have them put on tomorrow!! with 305's in the rear.....
hope they go on okay...
getting detailed Friday: photo shoot on Sunday!!

thanx again Vic

 

 

Hype, after what happened to you and the way Lon and Vic helped out, I am sold on HRE in my future. Just true professionalism at its finest, anyone in my area will be directed their way also. Can't wait to see the new pics My Friend, should look awesome.

 

I agree.......I feel like I'm kind of a hard customer and hold businesses and their people to high standards you know?
coming from an industry that depends on hospitality it's very important too me.....

so yeah.....hands down HRE.........for as long as I can afford them
the catalog is sick too....I was showing it to people at the tire joint while I was being rotated today......
lots of very positive reactions...

 

Now the waiting game awaits!!!!!

 

Did you just ave to pay the difference in price if any


Can't wait for pics

 

Waiting to see those 305's in the rear.
