Thanks, your wagon is awesome too!

The rims are 19" Brabus Monoblock Replicas, I think they are the VI's, but I could be wrong.

I really like the black thing on rims.... I got 19" as well, I got 265/30 in the back, had to take away the edge in the back for them to fit... What do you have? And have you had to do any mod to fit them?

I went with 265/35 so I wouldn't have to worry about rubbing.

It's about time we had a Chicago spotted thread. I tend to hang around downtown and I see another C32 on Wacker Dr. from time to time.

There's another one in my neighborhood (Streeterville) but I think it's a fake - says C32 on the back, but it's a 4Matic? He has the right rims & ground FX, but it doesn't have the V6 Komp. tag on the side...

Even in Chicago, C32's tend to be rare...

I've also seen strange looking C32 in Des Plaines, Il
It was black w/ amg wheels, amg trim and badges but exhaust was from C280 I guess.
The other out of place thing the wheels were strangly small w/ winter tires on. By strange I mean 6.5 x 16 or 17 (high profile tires). He was parked right next to me so thats why I noticed smaller wheels, but than it was at night and cold as hell so I didn't spend to much time looking around.

I agree....

I see a silver C32 in Oakbrook all the time. I pulled up next to him one day and tried to get his attention, but he didn't even look my way.

Anyone care to put together another Chicago meet?

Hm, It might be me. I live near Oakbrook and am there with my wife quite often. You can easily tell my silver C32 apart from stock as I have the White Star Hood Emblem and a CL style grill. If you ever see me, honk!

I'm all for a meet here in Chicago sometime in the Spring.

I work in the loop (but take the Metra and don't drive downtown). I see a silver C32 on Adams sometimes and also Wacker. Might be the same guy/gal.
