My new ride - '12 CLS63 AMG - WOW!

I bought this 2012 CLS63 AMG last week here in AZ. Only 24K miles. Diamond White with Designo Platinum white leather (god help me keep this interior clean!)

PO1 & P30 packages, etc, etc....

It's pure joy to drive this machine over these last few days. People like to stare! LOL!

I'm getting her tuned next week here at local shop in Scottsdale @ Dyno-Comp
  • Dyno-Comp custom ECU upgrade - Stage 3 Power Upgrade
  • BMC Air Filters
  • HKS Spark Plugs
  • Resonator Delete with straight pipe

Dyno Tuning & Diagnostics: Before & After

Should be an interesting week!

KW's and 20" wheels at later date.

Thanks! I agree, and was thinking of adding some CF too. Just not sure where? Side mirrors? I'm sure eventually I'll add a front lip & rear diffuser.

Thinking about these style wheels:

Sort of like these but not gold of course.

I also like the look of the Cor Cipher but don't know pricing.

Or these Renne R10s but is brushed with chrome barrel

Congrats mate. Nice ride, white is an awesome colour on the CLS63. I like how you ain't holding back with the mods, getting into it nice and early!

I like the ADV style most in the 3 wheels. Look into the Signature SV303 wheel as well, similar style, they had one on the SL63 recently. They gave me a good deal too. Waiting for the wheels to be built. Let us know what you decide on!

Thanks for the compliment! I like the looks of the SV303. Decisions....decisions!!! I need to spend a few days researching the forums & internet for wheels. I'm open to suggestions so (all) please send me some wheels that will look good on a white CLS.

So the options I was looking at were:

Signature SV302S (which I settled for)
Signature SV303S (or 103)
Signature SV304S (or 104)
Vorsteiner VFF107
Vossen CVT
Vossen VFS4
Vossen VFS10
Stance SF01
ADV 10.0 M.V2
Avantgarde M632
HRE P200H
LOMA GT3-SL
LOMA RS1-MB
LOMA RS1-RSR
Niche M108
Rohana RF1
Rohana RF2
Vertini RF1.2
Vorsteiner VFN502

That was a culmination of weeks of scouring for photos etc for styles that I imagined suited the CLS.

I reckon a white car gives you many more options, but also lots more options in terms of wheel colour.

Hope this helps (rather than confuses/messes up any concrete plans you have)!

Glad to be on your list. All our wheels are hub-centric for Mercedes-Benz. If you haven't check out www.vossen3d.com and you can create your CLS on all our wheels.

Hello Rney, congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forums.

Here at Wheels Boutique we're the largest dealer in the world for custom forged wheels and we carry only the best that the wheel industry has to offer. We've completed dozens of CLS' over the years so we have experience and knowledge on what works and what doesn't.

With so many wheel options to choose from it really comes down to two important things: pricing and quality.

Some wheels are dirt cheap but made in China. Some are the creme of the crop and made in the U.S. but the pricing reflects that. I'd love to help you find the perfect balance so that we can get your new Mercedes the wheels it deserves.

Great suggestions! I'll check each one out. Any pics of your ride with your Signature SV302S wheels?

Haha I'd like to see those photos too. I'm dying in anticipation. Wheels being made still. I'll send some through as soon as I get them on. Still trying to figure out the widest tire size possible without impinging on the suspension or the fender. Can't seem to get a response on this forum!

Great car! That thing looks sick!

As Hyperion mentioned, a board member has a custom CLS63 carbon fiber grill for sale if you are interested, he just made one for me and it's ridiculous. To give you an idea...here it is on my car.

Is it just me, or is the star crooked?

I hadn't noticed the star looked extremely crooked....and I agree it does.

I panicked and had to go out side and check it out. Not sure why it looks so bad in the pic, the star isn't nearly that wonky (the good news), it's almost dead on.

Nah, you're good man! I also figured out you can twist the star and it pops out...so I can realign it.

I'm glad you guys caught it!

FWIW, after bending OEM and Niche wheels (heavy, high torque car on NJ roads), I gave a set of vossen VFS5 's a try. They've been great. No bends, no issues, fairly priced, and they look great Imo.

Still going crazy deciding on wheels. How much did your Signature Wheels run you?
