CLS63
Intro

Hi guys. Been on the site for a few years now, trolling mostly. Started my MB trek in 08 with a new Saks C350 Sport. Last July I bought a used 09 CLS550 Sport. Both cars had AMG dressing and wheels from the factory but no AMG innards. Today I traded the 09 CLS550 for a 12 CLS63. I've only driven it from the dealer to home but WOWWWW. Vossen CV3s and tint should both be on next week. Looking forward to reading through the old posts here. I'll post a pic I took today as soon as I can, most likely when I return from vacation next week. Cheers. Dave

Thank you in advance for all the knowledge you've previously shared, and for putting up with my future dumb questions.

Slow is evident--even Hyperion has finally stopped putting up pix of scantily clad Upton. And now even the slapping penguin one is gone.

The wheels you have are the standard wheels that come with the car. The performance wheels are a separate option from the performance package. I also decided to go with standard wheels as I knew I would get aftermarket ones.
