THAT IS SIK!!

So whats the width of your 18? Have you gone to the track and run with this set up? Looks great.

As far as 295-305 damaging airmatic, the CLS allows this wheel to tuck and there is plenty of room unless you have lowered your car?

NO track time yet.. My local track is opening March 1. Can't wait.

The wheels are SL55 Rears 18x9.5 ET 33

P.S. if you need/want a set of SL rims I have an extra set.

Great man, wow sound like your going to do well. I think other cars here should copy your set up . I think the wider contact patch on the smaller wheels is going to do well

Ic an not find any one in Kuwait that supplies my tires , when i tell them i want nitton invo or micheln ps2 they look at me like i came from an other planet, let alone pilet cubs .

I have even tried Bahrain!
LAst stop UAE which should have them!!! if they do not i will go TOYO T1r which is in stock here, our Michelin dealer only does normal PS not PS2
My friend got his from a friend who bought them over seas and wanted rid of them you see.

upon my quest fro tires though i have came acros this info nto sure if it is accurate. There is a special set of rims form AMG that look like the standard 18s but with bolts all around the wheel, apparently this wheel has a 10inch rear width! instead of the 9.5

ALso lots of new rims coming out form AMG two in fact that look sexy

sadly i am stil tireless
