I think they look just fine. The permanent wheels must be some kind of awesome. I do like the color. The wheels go well with it.

Thumbs up Lowwwwwww!!!

So what’s the deal on the lowering! How did you do it? How much did you lower it. Does the car ride at that ride height when you are driving it? How is the ride quality? Does the button on the Console still raise the car? Does the car even go lower above 80 MPH (OUCH!)? Very Very Coooool!! - - Bob

How did you lower it? That looks real good.

I can't imagine another set of wheels that'll make it look as good as that!~!

Exclamation Hey Topless3, Where are you????

Hey Bud don’t post a picture of probably the hottest looking CLS55 there is and disappear before you answer all of our questions!!!!! If you are Computer challenged talk to your friend “Dragon AMG” and have him help you again, but for God's sake clue us in!!! - Bob

Sorry Guys thanks for all the kind words work has been crazy around here havent had a chance to get back on as far as lowering I did it by adjusting the OEM Links so there is no lowering module it stays at the height you see here permenantly and to be honest I dont know what happeneds at 80 MPH I dont know if it goes any lower all the factory buttons work inside if I raise the car it almost goes to factory height and if I hit sport it will go down a little bit more than you see here the setting you see is "low" with the comfort setting. If you have any further questions feel free to ask as far as the interior it is stock black with dynamic seats and matte wood.

Thanks Again !!!

As far as the wheels they come in any color possible as you know HRE's are custom made so you can choose your finish from virtually anything you can imagine. These are polished with clearcoat

Smile More Answers

Topless3 - You forgot to answer about what the "Ride Quality" is like at the lower ride height. Is it bouncy, harsh, a little stiffer, or about like stock? At 70 MPH when you go over a larger bump on the Freeway does it bottom out? Did you buy some adjustable links or did you fabricate them yourself? If you bought them how can we contact the company? If you fabricated them could you give us the specs on the different parts you used and their sources? Also did you install camber adjusting eccentric bolts on the lower control arms to bring the camber back closer to OEM specs? We want to be like you!! The God of COOL!!! - Bob

Bob thanks for all the nice words as far as rubbing or bottoming out nothing at all ride quality is stock to bit stiffer kind of like when you put it on the 2nd sport button like that you get an idea as far as how I lowered it contact me and I will give you some tips and can set you up with the guys!!!

Also the specs on the wheels are 20X9.5 with a 275/30/20 front and 20X11.5 with a 305/25/20 I forgot to mention !!!!!

Car looks fantastic in white, wheels look great, but in my opinion it is way too low.

Topless3, if you don't mind could you PM me too about your (awesome) lowering. I'm considering various options now -- modules, Star Diagnostics, washers, etc...

I'm only looking for a 1-1.25" drop, because I don't want the camber to be too far out of spec.

Thanks
