Buddy's CLS63 with R20s

Went with my buddy to get his wheels today and thought I would share...







what do you all think?

So far the mods have just been the drop, wheels and the ECU upgrade.

He has some custom 21" wheels coming in in a few weeks, but he decided to rock some R20s while he waits for the new wheels to come in.

I am sure the R20s will be up for sale in the next few weeks....

Not sure who provided his ECU upgrade but I do know that RENNTech already has one for the 63 motor. Just passing along if you're interested.....

not sure what a NAD-1 wheel is, but these are Radenergie R20s in 20"s. I think they retail for 6500.00 with tires.

And off the software upgrade, he was seeing an est. +30hp/+18tq... I am hoping that he takes it to the dyno soon and if he does I will get the charts for everyone to see.

Wow! its low and sexxxy. Post some more pics if you can. And yes, Radenergie make a good forged light wheel and the price is decent.

So these wheels are his beater wheels until his new wheels come in? Did Status lend them to him or did he buy them to keep around until his other wheels came? Either way car is beautiful!!!

Ya pretty much beater wheels til the new ones come in. And he bought them from Status. But from what I heard, he might be getting another set of 21s so the R20s might be coming off real soon.
