AMG BRED

I finally made time out to go to D.C. to get my wheels and suspension installed and rear right wheel is defective..

now i have to send the wheel back to HRE, get it resealed and they will send it back to me in 2 weeks.

A lil teaser, the car is still on the jack, but the suspension is installed. The rear left wheel is defective.



another angle, car is still on the lift, would have settled alot more:



rear left wheel wouldn't hold air, so opened it up again and noticed air leaking out of 8 bolts.. and this shady one black bolt.. hmm..

In the meantime.. worked on the fron.. see if you can tell the difference:



Had to put the stock wheels back on, with H&R Cup Kit:



A good pic of the car on the move



Now only if the rear wheel wasn't defective...

so mad.. wasted 12 hours of labor for nothing.

WOW! Those wheels look sweet!

Take solice in knowing that when that wheel comes back, you will have one fine(r) looking machine. Congrats!

VERY NICE rims .....my guess is you changed your fogs?

AMG BRED

yeah.. from the frosted to the clear ones, they are off the CLK.. match the headlights really well.

Great looking setup you got there. Sorry about the wheel issues... I hate it when you think you have everything planned out and the some goes wrong that's totally out of your hands.

Just wondering... Did you buy these wheels brand new? Because if you did, shouldn't the retailer or HRE give you a brand new replacement wheel?

Nice car!

AMG BRED

thanks, yeah they are replacing the wheel, which is why i have to wait a week before i can put the wheels on the car.

Hey Mr. Patel, you've got the clear lens fog lights installed???? Wow...cool!!! I knew it would fit! Did you manage to get the 6000k bulbs installed too?

Forget about your HRE! By the looks of it your stock looks much nicer!

yeah no ****, but Peter was very coorperative and got FedEx to pick 'em today from the shop and have it shipped out to HREs and have them repair and it and send it back. hopefully it's all done within the next week.. i want the car on the road.

AMG BRED

9.5 x 19s, 265 tires.

AMG BRED

Yeah it fitted, thanks for the idea. I was debating wether to put 'em on or not but i got bored at the shop while they tried to figure out what was wrong with the wheel.. so i went ahead and put 'em on.. and kinda took the liking of the way it looked. Thanks alot for your help and sorry for not selling 'em to you.

AMG BRED

thanks for rubbing it in. :p

AMG BRED

hey,

sorry, but i am going to hang onto the stock wheels for winter driving.. Snow Salt + HREs =

jamesp

hey bro. looks like your moving quite fast there. where were you on 66 or 495?

AMG BRED

we were on 95, heading back down to va. beach. the pic was taken at a lil over 90 mph.

i got work done at www.autothority.com in fairfax, va.

Cool, your rims look beautiful. Quick question, did those CLK fogs fit perfect or did you have to modify them and/or the front spoiler? Also do you have a part number for them?

Thx!

AMG BRED

thanks, the rims did look good, i did drive the car for 15 mins around the lot, and wow.. i really didn't want to take the wheels off.. they match the bodypaint so perfect.

the foglights are a lil bigger, they stick out 1/4" more then the stock C foglights but once you put back the mash grille in place.. you can't tell.

i don't have a stock number for you.. i am sorry... the foglights came off my other car.

MiamiAMG

No problem, thanks!

Harris

No problem. Glad that you liked the idea. I guess I've to get a set of the clear lens from the dealership.
