Since you guys like to critique wheels so much, i thought id show you what i did to my CLS500. Im sure there will be some haters as usual, but im not worried, cause this thing in person is sick, and i get an insane amount of compliments, cant go anywhere without, and I LOVE IT!

BTW, its lowered with Carlsson C-Tronic as well.

Doesn't look too interesting in the pics, but I'm sure the pics don't do justice.

I like the way you have it sitting on the wheels.
The wheels are unique.

That was the goal. going for that "futuristic" look. i pulled up somewhere and this older guy starts yelling at me, "2 10, 2 10" i was like what? he thought it was like a 2010 model year, like it was from the future...anyone know where i can get an AMG Flux Capacitor???

thanks for the compliment!

I hear ya Adam! Man - the compliments continue to come in day after day - yesterday alone I had about 5 - one guy stopped next to my car , looked it up and down and said "Is that the new Mercedes? That is off the f**kin' hook - great job on the car!" Also had some guy's girl winking at me in the passenger seat of his car - felt bad for the guy (who had a CLK), but what can ya do.

I am absolutely in love with everything about the CLS. Will have my stereo completed and the adjustable camber system in by the end of next week.

Guess we should take this to the CLS500 forum but oh well.

Tell me more about the adjustable camber system.

adam76

yes john, please tell us more. i really feel my rears toe in.

Nothing special - it's just an aftermarket adjustable camber link that is longer than the stock one and can be adjusted manually. I've attached a photo of what a generic one would look like - the ones they are installing in my CLS are a lot cleaner looking - All the CLS's I've seen lowered so far have had some issues with this since Mercedes doesn't give much if any of an adjustment for camber. Both mine and the one Globe Motorsports here in L.A. used at the Beverly Hills auto show last weekend have a good degree of camber because of the drop.

The camber link can usually pull out between 0-14 degrees comfortably although you don't want to take all of the camber out or you lose some cornering capabilities.

Hope this makes sense - I'll post some before and after pics when mine goes in next Friday. The way it sits right now, it will start wearing the inside of my tires more than I want it too since it sits more on the inside part of the tire.
