Just picked up a new CL550 Sport Black/Black.

Anyone got ideas for the best HRE wheels?

Do you know me?

Is this the BigBiz I met on the German Auto tour in 2001?

It is me

Hi Biz, good to run into you again. Have you caught my work at thetruthaboutcars.com? How do you like the CL? I thought the chassis was too big and prefer the E63 but I am still considering the CL63.

Jay, good to hear from you. Like the CL but look forward to the CL65 one day. That E63 is pretty nasty I hear. I'll definitely check your work and post about it.

Cl 550

What the heck, I took the plunge on the CL 550 as well. I found a nice black/black sports package car to tie me over until the CL 63 arrives.

Dude...I have the exact same color combo and sport package. Great "car" minds really do think alike.
