New shoes for my 2012 CLS63 *PICS*

Just mounted the Avant Garde 20 x 10 & 20 x 8.5 M510's (Satin) with Hankook K110 295/25/20 and 255/30/20 tires (was a package deal from Need4Speed).

Other mods:

Kleemann Tune (done by Cory at their US HQ)
KW Coilovers and links
Renntech Carbon rear spoiler

Note: Note sure if this is typical with this wheel/tire combo but all of my wheels had a ***** load of counter weights on them.

Tastefully done… not too much, just right

How is the ride comfort?

The Carbon rear spoiler looks really nice. Keep in mind we have the front lip kit and rear diffuser as well.

Looks good man! Usually you'll see more weight with the less expensive the wheels. My SRT reps on my Jeep suck in comparison to the big money HREs I've got on the Benz. I could be wrong but that's just my experience.


You bringing the bike or car to C&C Saturday?

Just found this! Looks good Scott! How's the ride with the lower profile tires? Can't wait to see it at Cars & Coffee, you pull in and always make the other Benz boys, perhaps with the exception of Jason, look bad

I was going with 305's but the guys at N4Speed recommended against it.

Between the KW coilovers and low profile Hankooks the car rides like a skateboard.

You and everyone else (especially Jason) have sick cars...glad we all represent at C&C's.

Haha thanks buddy, I really do like the people here on MBWorld and we need to try to do a forum meet up again for the Denver/Colorado people this summer. Hankooks, from what I've heard, have notoriously stiff sidewalls too probably has something to do with it. Pinebaron seems to be happy with his Bilstein B16 iRCs, might be worth checking out if you ever get tired of the KWs

My Hankooks are a much harsher ride than my Continental Conti Sports in an identical size. I'd never go with Hankooks again for the huge difference in comfort alone.

They ride a bit harsher but when I ordered wheels, there were no other options unless you put different brands front and rear. Maybe I missed something.
