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

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.....
