Thank you man...this is the final touch on the outside. Trying very hard to be patient cause the install is going to have to wait until next week. I still can't over how its driving after we put the KW coil overs on too. So happy!

How low do you have the kw set, I have them at the lowest on my e63 and not really happy with the stiffness. I am going to raise it about .5 inch and see how it feels

I'll get the specs for you but the car is dialed in, from the suspension to the way we ordered the wheels, exactly to Vic's. His looks great...

LOL- give me my wheels back!!!!!!!!


They should weigh about 21-22 lbs each if they are 20x9 and 20x11.

I do believe the net gain with tires on is about 6 lbs of unsprung weight at each corner or 25lbs total. Thats like removing 100 lbs of sprung weight from the car (4x's factor)...

Enjoy Jason- you are mod crazy. What tires are you using?

As much respect as I have for HRE- it grow ten fold after I toured the site with the National Sales Director Guy Atherton. Amazing processes occur there and the commitment to quality and attention to detail is 2nd to none.

Jason, what tires!!!!!! Cause I dont want you to rub...

Miss this one...
I'm keeping my 19s which will either become my track wheels or a new coffee table and end tables for my office. Dead serious but if they end of up the track I'm just not sure. One the HREs I think I am going with the Michelins but am open for advice. One mod I love right now are the new bra bus paddles...now I know why they cost so much. The action and size are amazing.

You and Saedd totally got me started..first it was to look good but now its all about track performace and the more and more people that tell me not to waste my time with a CLS the better....already talking with some drifting instructors...

In other words I turned 41 last week and this is my mid-life....

Nice! Don't know why--but there is something about black colored wheels that makes it so sexy.

I know I babble but I did address this:

the HREs I think I am going with the Michelins but am open for advice.
When I say I am open for advice I mean you tell me....

HRE tires will be more for the street and quick blasts...you know the drill. I just really want them to stick but at the same time don't want to deal with any rubbing.

THoughts?
