How about inside the logo? Look neat , glad you used some original thought, side markers clear? Nice job. Get your filters out and let the beast out of the closet

thanks

thanks folks... I think the look goes well with dark cars... unfortunately don't think it would stand out on a white color.

I'm also about to buy these wheels... any thoughts?

I do agree the picture of the car I included looks slammed and I'm betting 22's. I'm going for 20s, I want to be able to drive... roads suck where I live.

I dnt know jt, they r nice but I think they are a little dark and there is much better looking rims out there for a cls, I like 5 spokes but those dont grab me as much.

more mods

I add an Escort SRX system with Laser diffusers. The radar detector is behind the MB logo in the front grille. The front diffusers are on either side of the grille. The rear diffuser is on top of the license plate. The display is in the glovebox. A visual alert LED is behind the mirror. The button to turn off diffusers is below the seat bolster controls. The speaker is underneath the passenger seat.

I also had the rear lights lightly tinted on the red only. I decided not to buy the wheels mentioned above and went for a custom look to the originals. Get them back on Saturday. Will post more pics then.

These wheels are 20'' Tettsut X-Black. I saw these in person last summer on the Car Art CLS showcar. They look amazing in person.

p.s. they just look like 22s because they are using a small tire. I believe it was something like 255/30/20... they make the rim look huge

I wouldn't know exactly who to talk to for US sales. They are actually made by an Italian company named ETA BETA. Here's their website

If you look closely on the River Wheels page, you can see the ETA BETA logo on the rims... Also, the italian license plate gives it away... I'm guessing River Wheels is the US distributer.

River wheels are in the UK. I can't find any distributors in the U.S. Besides, I ended up painting my original wheels... I think it looks pretty good. Started a new post with pics of the painted AMG wheels.
