And yours looks great!

Did you have to re-align the wheels?

Thank you...

Gets some attention.

Off topic Carl but did you have satellite installed on your G? Can the dealer add it to our command system?

What is up with the CLS parking nice and straight, and a minivan parked all crooked taking up 2 spaces?

It did. I would have had to pay a monthly fee as it was bought used though so never bothered.

I'm a bit of a technical retard so i'm not sure about it being retrofitted. I would say no as it was set up near the light dome (i think we're talking about the same thing- satellite recovery?)

Looks great Roy!

The Vellano wheels are superb and I would recommend them to anyone with a CLS. When I got the VSM the price was good and the fitment was perfect. And delivery was in the promised time frame though I had to wait a while for the Pirelli tires.

I subsequently ordered a set of DCR wheels for the Range Rover Supercharged. Well that was six months ago and I still cannot mount them. What a $*@# nightmare...

WOW!! well i must say if you live in ny You would think that the HRE's are sh*t only cause they bend very easy, i have had them on my last car. the Vellanos from what i was told have a thicker and stronger lip and wheel. if you ask me.

Actually I'm not cheap. I like the looks of the Vellanos and the price difference was not significant. The Vellanos were in stock and I avoided the wait.

Remember what your parents told you about "if you don't have anything nice to say......"

Regular Retail price of a 20" Vellano is $1,665. Regular Retail of a 20" HRE $1,795. Not the biggest difference in the world. And that has gotta be one of the most immature replys i ever heard.

I agree about an immature response

Actually, I have looked at this moron's posts and 90% of them show what a POS he/she is.

And btw MB does not make a "cocaine white" color. But maybe that explains his/her behavior.
