OP - congrads - would say "welcome" but judging by your stable this isn't your first trip riding the AMG train. Speaking of which - How do you like the 63 v 55? Just curious because one rarely has both in the garage at the same time.

what make are the wheels please
They look like CL reps but I could be wrong-here's a link to a sponsor who sells reps - I'd just check the offset for your CLS first.

55= More fun to drive in a straight line, the power is instant with wheel spin only a small tap away from your right foot . I must say the torque is the thing i miss most on the 63 when compared to the 55.

63= More predictable power and refined. The 63 does come out on top of the 55 at highway speeds when you want to over take someone. Handling and Braking are much improved on the 63, just feels more confident doing both. Finally the exhaust note on the 63 is PRICELESS

Both are great in different ways. One is an outright drag machine and the other is a refined sporty monster.

I honestly want to buy one just because of that sound; Once the TT comes out - I'm 63 shopping (going for the Estate despite the fact I love the CLS (one of the prettiest cars made).
