I was in San Francisco yesterday as the the sun was setting. IPhone camera to the rescue.

06 CLS 55. Lowered using adjustable links and rolling on DPE SPSC 10 wheels. I'm happy with it. Let me know what you think.

Thank you. I love the wheels. You can choose between a "Normal or Aggressive" offset. These are "aggressive"

9" wide in the front using. 255/30/20
11" wide for the rear: 305/25/20

Very nice!
Looks aggressive and nicely dropped.

Black out those side markers and you're golden.

Yeah, I know which ADV1's you're talking about. Those are sikk too. The DPE's have the spokes spaced out 2 at a time instead of even spacing.
