I definately think you should change the wheels.
I just has to be different from the other C32's. Depends on budget though.
You mentioned, you like the Superlegerra, a bit more japanese, but you should try the Superleggerra III. VERY VERY nice, it comes in a gunmetal color, perfect for your car.
Then lower it even more with lowering springs for asthetics and then tint your windws and you're set.
Just my opinion,

thanks guys for the comments
i think that the rim it self looks OK but somehow the way it wraps-in on the front made it look smaller.
i like the 18" twin five spoke on this new CLK55 but MB had told me it won't fit on my car. i guess i'll have to wait it out.
if i do change the wheels the oem will go onto my sister's CLK320 if not she will get the AMG type CL in 17"
timorgan: yes those are the oem lights

i think you should lose those wheels... in my direction i really like them. only a few c32s around anyway. only thing is that i wish they were 18"
if not those, i'd get the carlsson 1/16s or HREs
i'd also get a flat hood ornament.

What size of wheels you are considering? I say, go for 19" and drop it with H&R. BTW, do you live/study near San Diego?

Changing the suspension has to be done right though. Since there is no suspension kit (yet) designed specifically for the C32, change your springs ONLY. The stock AMG dampers are better than those that come with cupkits (they are designed to support the additional engine weight). I couldn't wait so I threw on a set of Carlsson springs. I'll upgrade the suspension again later when it becomes available. For now, they look tight. Big difference in look, and an improved difference in handling. They are not quite as stiff as H&R's so the ride is almost as comfortable as stock.

thanks guys
if i do want to lower the car anytime in the future i think i'll wait for the AMG suspension when it is available.
BrabusCclass:
i have seen your car's picture too...she looks great with the Brabus bodykit and i heard about what happened with your paint. hope you can get it all nice and shiny again.
BTW do you have engine mods? what kind of numbers (hp & torque) are you getting on the dyno?
