Yup.
I'm a fan of the 5 spoke (and yes I can count).

The only issue may be that the brake calipers (mostly the front) may appear smaller with so much open space on the rim.

actually CL600 and CL55 pre 2003 share the same size rotors. obviously 03 and up you can notice the huge AMG calipers. IMHO, those wheels look too generic on a CL. I've seen them around here in LA area but mostly on E class, or S class. never on CL.

Don't do it!!!

Andrew-NY:

Isn't your CL white?

Personally, I don't like those wheels...especially on a CL.

I know they're not, but there is something about them that makes them look kind of "pep-boysish" kinda reminds me of those "enkei swirls" people would throw on back in the day...

Hope I didn't kill it for you; it's only one guy's opinion.

I know you have been at it for a while now; trying to make the right choice...I admire your patience. I've needlessly blown cash on mine just because I felt "...I couldn't wait..."

I'm really having a tough time with this. I don't like the Vellanos at all.

Thumbs down

not a fan...I think these looks cheap on a CL, especially the way it is polished. I agreed with OC KID.

I am not sure if they still do it, but Discount Tire use to have a program that would show the wheel on the car. Made it real easy to choose a wheel.

tirerack.com has that program too, however you have too choose the CL500 instead CL55, and there arent many wheels available as far as 20s go. Some in 18s and 19s.
