MEATY! Looks sweet. Classy look.
Open garage door and your shadow muddles the composition, however (just kidding)
BTW Your car is hot, but your garage is hotter.
Congrats.

The ride is not much harsher at all. I was actually surprised. Drove to LA this weekend and back. No troubles what so ever. This car turns heads almost as much as the Murcielago.
I didn't know this was the first set of HRE's for a CLS 55 Peter! Seriously I can;t stop looking at the car. It looks amazing with the wheels. As usual your service does not dissapoint!

I was even surprised at first, measured everything 4x just to make sure I was not making a mistake.
Peter,
So what offsets were used on this set?

Hi redlinerobert
you've had the 20x11's on for some time now - curious to know if have had any rubbing at all - and if not have you had passengers in the rear seats?
Appreciate any feedback

No rubbing at all, even with 4 people in the car. Peter is the man! However I did hit a curb this weekend in LA so I need to get the rear wheel polished to fix it

Arling!
Dude I am sorry about last week. It turned out that I didnt have a nail - I took the wheel off to inspect and it turned out to be nothing.
I'll be back down a week from Friday with KevinM. We will surely come by if time allows - you're not open Saturdays? I went by Saturday and your place was closed.....
