My CLS55 - not everyones cup of tea:)
Hey guys - not on here too much but thought I'd share my build. I was going for a euro/gangster style build, but with some speed and power added. Its coming together nicely. I love this car!
Picked up the car about 6 months ago, one owner and 65000 miles. Cool color combo I thought, blue with tan (black opal metallic technically) since I am not a fan of the normal colors.
Couple days later, since I own Rotiform Wheels I tossed some 19" cast wheels on it.
Then I got my Prior Design PD600 kit on the way from Germany and then went over to see my buddies at Benzworks for a tune/pulley/long tube headers and a lowering module. Good peeps there - go see them for all and any work.
These things make some mega power and sound so mean
PD600 kit came in!
Lowering module installed - Hi Serge, Hi Nick, HI Paris!
Raw "WRW" model wheel parts fresh off the mill for a quick test fit.
with the wheels on after finishing. I also got a full header back custom system built at Magnaflow headquarters and couldn't be happier. Along with the Benzworks headers it sounds like I'm in a cup car on the high banks of Daytona International Speedway. Amazing.

I cannot believe the CLS swallows a 12" wheel like that out back i guess fitting a 13" wheel is completely doable then

I'm probably in the minority that like the Roto wheels better, but that's because I like cars that are fast and driveable. It also kind of had a " maybe it's a special edition from the factory" look to it that I like as well with the Prior kit.
But congrats on your project, the black opal looks awesome on the CLS body!

Love the W219 body and the color combo.
I prefer the Rotiform wheels and I am not a big fan of how low it is. It is a Mercedes not a japanese import.
If you love it, that is what matters
