i personally dont like the wheels, but if you were to drop the car, it would look pretty good. But riding high doesnt look to well.

CLS55 plus a few Ducati's
I agree each to their own but if you do post a photo then you can't reasonably expect no one will comment. Personally I think they are the worst looking wheels on a CLS I have seen, but hey if you like it..... drive it!

I have to agree, those are the most hideous wheels I've seen on a CLS (it ruins the look of the car completely). But it's not my car, and good for him for picking the ones he liked.

Unfortunately I think the tank wheels make the CLS look worse than the "snow plow" body kit that started this thread.

Nothing is worse than the snow plow. NOTHING!!!!!!

I saw those same Giovanna wheels on a black G35. Looked allot better. I would't do these on a CLS though. I think if the car was lowered then it would look a lil better.

But, who am I to comment? look at my sig pic. I drink rice milk for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Wow! I started looking up the Giovanna's, just to see if anyone painted the silver line around the wheel black, which I think would make the wheel allot better. But, guess what I found? What a combo!!!!

erifly, I think you should paint the silver line around the wheel to the exact match of the matte black.

Now that there makes the wheel s look good and the kit is do able....if it is done well it is different and not that Cheap...Asma kits are pricey.....

as far as everybody pickin on him 4 his wheels choice....they are nice to make them look better on ur car tint the windows smoke the lights and slamm it will look better and the Black wheels on ur colour will stand out more....

I have GFG from Giovanna they make some good wheels if ur wheels were the colour of ur car would look sick but if black bring some blk accents in...

Yeah that was actually what I was planning to do..make it one solid line..but i was also gonna refinish the wheel in a high black gloss. or I was also thinking about painting the whole wheel machine silver colored and making the face black..so many choices.

yeah my car was in the "Rasied" mode at the time because of speed bumps in the parking lot. It's not that high on normal mode. And I would never slam it...I hate the "tucked" in look.

I still don't think this kit is "doable". I am a very open minded person, but I can't see why anyone would buy this kit?
