Great car but what's up with those new rims?

I think MB can do better than that.

It is a bloody shame!! I saw (2) S500's in a row last night at dinner. They both had the stock rims

I do not understand?? Rims basically make, or break a vehicle, in my opinion. Tis why I went chrome on my cat..

If you can afford the S500, then suck it up, and purchase some nice rims!! The stock rims on the CL suck as well!!

Thumbs up what??

No way.

I LIKE those new rims. They are bassically the 18 inch version of the previous 600 rims and they are even more shinier!

They are only available, and as standard, on the S600 and CL 600.
I think they match the image a 600 protrays. Very classy!

however,

I don't like the new stock rims on the CL500 with the twin spoke or split design. The current or should I say now previous twin spoke was much better and had a more sportier look!
