I dont think the double spoke AMG rims compliment the CLS. The stock CLS55 19's look much better IMO.

I think they would look nice on a white CLS.

Thumbs up SL65 Wheels!

Now, don't get to set in your ways. The CLS55 - 030 cars come with a wheel that looks like the SL65 wheel, for the most part. So, you really can say that the SL65 wheel is also a CLS55 - 030 OEM wheel.

IMHO, I think they look GREAT! What else do you expect me to say! Also, I think the CLS55 above needs to be lowered. - Bob

Is it me or does that rear wheel and tire look kinda small? Or is it an optical illusion?

illusion is right. multi piece wheel always looks smaller because the spokes are not all the way extended to the lip. not to mention the center piece is indeed smaller. they look even smaller due to darker color center.

i personally think the stock CLS55 5-spoke wheel is the best looking wheel for the car. the design just fit the car perfectly & they look bigger than 19''. i also like the Brabus & Renntech but they only look decent in 20''; i don't want to kill the ride quality though.
