Ideas about AMG pack arctic white + 20'' AMG wheels...
CL 550, Arctic white, AMG Package, Style III 20" AMG 5-spoke wheels, Black Premium Leather, Burl Walnut Wood Trim, wood/leather steering wheel.
What do you think about this combination, and do you have any pic of a CL similar to this combination? thanks.

Issue w/AMG style wheels (even 19", let alone 20") on CL550/600 is that they accentuate how small/girlie/cheap-looking are the brakes/calipers of non-AMG cars...
And given that CL550 ABC/steering/chassis was developed/calibrated for luxury ride/handling vs 19" wheels, I doubt 20"s would improve handling (perhaps even worsen)...and would only increase risk of slightly worse ride...and higher odds of wheel deformation/flat tires in most urban settings....
Would consider blk wood...burl walnut is wannabe luxury look seen in LincTownCars/Avalons/Lexi....blk wood seems more fitting w/a perf look....
Given how many new, unsold CL63s are sitting around US, suspect lease costs of a deep-disctd new CL63 may not be much greater than costs of CL550, esp if intending to invest $$$ in all kinds of AMG-look cosmetics/nonsense anyway.....
