My New Ride

Greetings,
I just found this site while looking for wheels, and glad I did.
Here's my story. I tried to fight the temptation, but I just couldn't. As soon as I saw for the first time a CLS63 on the road, I knew it was a matter of time. Four weeks later and a lot of DD, I'm now the proud owner of an iridium silver one. And I love it.
Now I need some wheels.. Do I really need them??? I think I'll stick with the factory wheels for a little bit.. I really enjoy looking at the pics that everyone posts here of their rides. Very impressive.

I do have a question. When will that roaring engine sound leave my head. It's only been two days since I took delivery and I constantly hear it, especially when I close eyes.
Take care..
Rick

Congrats on the new ride and post some pics when you can. As far as needing wheels....well you dont "need" them but then again tell me why you "needed" 510hp!!! Enjoy in good health and watch out for that mod bug going around it seems to get everyone on this board at some point!!

I have had the sound in my head for three months now. I don't think it goes away. Congrats on the CLS63!

I'd leave it stock, unless you absolutely could not stand the stockers. The CLS63, CLS55 come with the nicest stock wheels in the M-B lineup. Both 1-pc and 2-pc 030's are great looking wheels.

Thanks for the welcome.
I didn't get the 03 package, I wanted it, but couldn't find one in the iridium silver. They said it would take around 4 to 5 months to get and there was no way I could wait that long. I have the P2 package.
I think I might be getting that MOD bug that's going around.
I'll try to post some pics soon.
